NS2 .fsb help

Not sure where to put this and i guess it's kinda Moddy, does anyone one know how to open up the fsb sound files? I've tried fsb extractors and stuff but They're not having any of it. I've been meaning to change the rifle sound to the pulse rifle from Alien and maybe change the Turrets aswell.

any help would be very appreciated.

    You can open it with FMOD Designer (http://www.fmod.org/fmod-downloads.html).

    Hi Max, I've downloaded FMOD Designer and opened up the NS2 .fev file where i think all the sounds are stored, I can see the files for the Rifle and other stuff but i have no idea on how to replace them or extract them.

    would you mind if you write a tutorial on how to replace the sounds?

    if not i understand that you're a busy man and all.

    Hi, im not sure how to extract them, but to simply replace them you have to edit the sound definitions. Basically the way i understand it is NS2 precaches the events in the lua, and the events point to a specific sound definition (which can be a group of sounds as well).

    So i think what you can do is drag in the sound you want into the relevant sound definition or right click "add sound definition from wave tables"

    Then project, rebuild.

    I actually have no idea how that tool works. Maybe Simon, our sound designer, will provide some information.

    How do you get FMOD Designer to open the NS2.fev file? That tool only wants to open *.fdp-files.
