[Solved] Custom Engine Sound Effects Help (custom sounds not playing)


Massive Effect

Recommended Posts

Hi new to the forums here but not new to KSP. Using version 0.21.1.276

I am having difficulty using my own custom sound effects for a new engine.

I have put my sound effects into the:

KSP/parts/MyEngine/sounds/ folder

KSP/Gamedata/squad/sounds/ folder

as well as,

KSP/sounds/ folder

There is no sound played.

This is how it is in the part.cfg

sound_ionengine_start = engage

sound_ionengine = running

sound_vent_soft = disengage

sound_explosion_low = flameout

the sounds will only work if i use the default below.

sound_vent_medium = engage

sound_rocket_hard = running

sound_vent_soft = disengage

sound_explosion_low = flameout

Is this a known bug? Ive searched the forums and was unable to find any answer regarding this.

Any help appreciated. Thank you.

You have to place your sounds in a very strict location. Go to your part.cfg. Create a directory called "part" on that location. Add another subdirectory "Sounds". In there you place your sound file. Its name has to start with "sound_" (without quotes) and i have only tried it with an ogg file, yet. In your example a matching sound file should be

KSP\Gamedata\MyMod\Part\MyEngine\part\Sounds\sound_vent_medium.ogg

Here you can find those music mainsail i tested it with. Once everything is correct you should see those sounds being loaded in your ksp.log, btw.

Thanks a lot Faark! :) I moved my part and sounds into the

KSP\Gamedata\MyMod\Part\MyEngine\part\Sounds\sound_vent_medium.ogg directory and it works!

Much appreciated.

:D
