Title: FS2 sound files
Post by: nissan350z on December 12, 2006, 07:19:51 pm
Hi all,

I'm doing a Flash project based on FreeSpace, and as part of the project I was planning to use sounds from FS2.  A few months ago, I found... something... that provided the locations of most, if not all, of the sound files in the game, but (naturally) now that I need it I can't remember what it was or where I found it.

Basically, I wanted to have the sounds for afterburners, explosions, subspace gates, all kinds of weapons, and hopefully some Terran and Vasudan speech, since I don't want to record my voice for everything, especially the Vasudan parts...  Anyway, if anyone can tell me how to find any FS2 (or FS1) sound files, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance, and I apologize if I posted this in the wrong section.

First you need VPview (http://www.descent-network.com/descman/) to be able to browse and extract files from .vp files. With that taken care of, the sound effects are in sparky_fs2.vp under the 16b11k and 8b22k directories, speech in stu_fs2.vp and music in warble_fs2.vp.

Not what I was originally thinking of, but this should cover it.  Thanks for the quick reply.

Welcome to the HLP Station. Exits are located to the right, left, up, down, and 4th-dimensionally. However all of them are blocked, except the 4-d one, and no one's yet figured how to reach it. Somebody says there is anoter one in the 5th dimension: if you find it, let us know! In the event of a landing of any kind, you can and will be used as a flotation device. Please keep all appendages within the installation at all times. Do not feed the resident Shivan Carl as he will become voracious and chew your leg off. You can find him in the ventilation duct. Throw him your lunch and hope he is not hungry and leaves you alone. Flamethrowers can be found under your seat but due to financial constraints have been re-filled with holy water. Phased Plasma rifles (40 watt range of course) can be found in storage lockers. To prevent act of n00b, however, these can only be opened by Moderators, Volition or a hyperintelligent shade of BluE. Please remember that any attempt to use the ASCII characters 0046h, 0053h, and 0033h in sequential order will result in you being trampled by FreeSpace fan boys. Your trampled remains will be fed to Carl so that the rest of us don't have to carry around so much food for lunch. If you shall go in the Vasudan section of the station and find a boxes labelled “Headz”, please don’t open them, unless you are a Vasudan. Trust me on this one.... In the event of catastrophic hull failure please board the nearest lifeboat which is pre-programmed for autonomous flight to our sister station the Game-Warden outpost. Thank you and enjoy your stay at Hard Light station as long as you will!
