sounds (where are they? what format are they?)

[fragit]

i want to experiment with creating sounds for xonotic (previously nexuiz)

where do the sound files live? is there a .pk3 they are packed in?

any info as to file format, type, or a good thread would be amazing if anyone could suggest one.

thanks!

I think the pk3 is just a zip file renamed. You can use your favorite zip decompressor to peek at these files. Maybe uncompress all somewhere.
I suppose you can uncompress everything, and just delete the original pk3 file, so the engine load the ucompressed files. That way you may edit any .wav or .ogg file there. I think DP can load ogg files, but I could be wrong... probably the names of the files are hardcoded on the gameplay module, so you cant use hurt.ogg wen the game expect hurt.wav

yes, but what is the name of the .pk3?

I think I didn't understand your question. If you downloaded SVN version, folders are unpacked and you can find all sounds in /Nexuiz/data/sounds/ folder (divided in categories), for Normal version, instead, you'll find sounds in Nexuiz/data in a single .pk3 file named with a number sting (e.g data20090501.pk3), open it with your zip explorer application, and browse the folders until you find data/sounds folder. Decompress subfolder you interest (ambient,weapons,etc.)in a folder of your choice, and that's it.
As Tei said, there are .ogg and .wav files there.

i did do a search for files and folders named sound before i posted.
