     Hey, could someone send me some of the audio files that FS2 uses for the beam weapons? I'm currently in post-production of an animated short I did at school, and need sound for some beam weapons. And all of the sci-fi stuff in the library is horrendous. I know I can just extract it from a VP but at the moment I don't have a personal computer nor the authority to go installing VPView and what-have-you on the school computers. Actually I'm not even sure I can use the sounds, I'll have to check with my Sound Supervisor on the legality of doing so, but even so it would be good to have it anyway whether in the end I can (or choose to) use them or not.

     Here's my email: [email protected]

    Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help.

Hey, could somebody send me that exact same file? I only need the beam sound, nothing more, I tried opening up the .vps, but I guess its too much work for only one sound. Could you send it to [email protected] ? Thanks in advance!

It seems like everywhere I go there is a new member

Thank you
But im not really new to the project (have played fs2 with the improvements several times I guess), just now I finally need some sound (for another game)

Um since a year has gone by... Wouldn't something like this be posted on Hades Combine?

And if not, probably cause everyone has vpiew now and it takes 10 secs max to do what you ask...

I point that out cause previous member was under extreme circumstances.
People get on my case about being lazy, but there is a world of difference between not trying to learn 3d modeling  anymore and downloading a free tool..

Well if no one can spare 10 seconds, i'd proberlly try it myself when I got time for it. Seems not as easy as asking, and since I found a thread asking for the exact same thing, I thought "hell why not"

[Roflcore]

I kinda changed my mind, I think I want to rip off more then only one sound, so I think im gonna do it myself. But.. it would be nice if you would show me a good thread where everything is explained. I will continue to search the forum, but there are thousands of threads and nothing pinned to the subject I feel. Google for the tool didn't really help either since it seems that a lot of programs have that name.

No problem, I wasn't feeling well first half of the week and I am sure all my posts reflected that. 

Step 1: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/karajorma/FAQ/intro.html
Critical for the cluless!!! (that would be you) 

Step 2: Link on FS Tools will show you the essential links like vpview (and others)

Step 3: The vpview link leads here http://www.descent-network.com/descman/ the page of Descent Tools for more than just FS2 but is the original files created for it.

Step 4: Install vpview and also the associated DLL pack link so now on all FS2 type files have icons that when you double clik any file will open them with the right FS2 program (VP's Tables, POF's in the case of modelview, etc)..

Step 5: Extraction is simple as click on the vp, it opens you navigate the side listing to one of the sparky entires is I remember correct till you find the sounds founder and highlight and click in the above interface line EXTRACT to DIR and it will go in your data folder by default unless you rechoose where to place it.

Hope that helps you!

Thats funny, I found that oracle site before, but it didn't seem to be what I need.. well I guess a closer look won't hurt.

Thank you
