[MDL ED] Help with enemy .snt files

[A.M Team]

Hello! I would like to know how to change the BRUTE .snt files. Yes, it is important to my CS. If anybody can help that would be grand!

Define "change".
What is it you want to change?

The brute has many different .snt files. (those are the files that play the sounds).
You can find them in sounds/enemy/brute/

Sorry! I meant changing the voices or 'grunts'. When I try to edit the .snts it sometimes plays the original sounds instead or even not work at all.

Don't edit the base entity, always make a backup. That way it will also work for people downloading it without having to replace or edit files themselves.

Open the Brute in the ModelEditor. Go to User Defined Variables and change the sounds there. Before doing so, make sure you create your new audio files as OGG Vorbis format, then also copy over a .snt file from the original and edit the name and contents. Remember, som events have more than 1 possible sound that can play, so 3 .ogg files can be contained in 1 .snt file. Don't forget to save the brute as your own custom brute.

When you change the snts and save them with different name you have to re apply the sounds to the monster inside the model editor. So here's how you would do it:

Save the edited snt file with your name. Open the brute ent file in the model editor and go to settings/animations. In there you should see all of the brutes animations and each animation has events, which is basically the sounds that play at a certain part of an animation. Find the animations and events where you want to implement your custom sounds and just replace the values with the name of your custom snt file. You can also go to settings/user defined variables and there you should be able to find the sounds that play when the monster is activated, notices, etc.

Now after you edited the monster in the model editor don't forget to save it as a different ent so it doesn't overwrite the original.

Hope this helped lad

Yes, I have done these things but I think the .snts are the problem. Everytime I test them in the model editor they won't play. I will use your info, but I need some help with the .snts. Should I post the brute copy I'm using? IDK.

Hmm that is weird, are you sure that you're sounds are in .ogg format?

Also if you could post how one of your snt files look like it might help finding the problem.

Yep, ogg and everything... I can send you the files if you like, maybe then it can get fixed!

Yeah you can upload one of the snt's and and your brute ent files here in a post (using the attachments feature) and I'll take a look at them.
