Atmospheric Sound Mods question

Post » Wed Jul 28, 2010 10:15 pm

I believe this would be the correct install order for these mods, right?

I noticed, however, that all of these mods bring their own thunder sounds. In my opinion, not all of these thunder sounds are great. There are more than enough good thunder sounds in these mods to make like a "best of" list of thunder sounds, though. I'm not exactly certain how these thunder sound files are used though. I don't know if I have to get the best sounds and use those to replace only the ones in S&S, (or AO since I'm thinking of removing S&S because I don't like the magic shock effect) or if I just have to remove the sub par ones from all of the mods and replace those.

So, I was wondering, with all of these mods installed, do all of the thunder sounds get played or would only the thunder sounds from the last loaded mod get played (in this case S&S)? Specifically, does the last mod overwrite the thunder sounds from the mods loaded before it? (i.e., Does S&S's thunder sounds overwrite AO, MIS, AS, OSSO, and Vanilla; or if I removed S&S, does AO's thunder sounds overwrite MIS, AS, OSSO, and Vanilla; or are all of the thunder sounds played in conjunction?)

I would suggest you take a look at the files themselves. If the thunder sound files have the same filenames, then they will overwrite, otherwise not.

I've already checked. Only OSSO and AS Rain and Thunder overwrite. And both of those overwrite the vanilla sounds. So basically, with all of these mods installed, there would be thunder sounds from the vanilla directory, from the MIS directory, from the AO directory, and from the S&S directory. 4 sets of thunder sounds. Do they all get played, or do only the S&S ones get played (or whichever mod is loaded last)?

Install the mods using BAIN. Then you can easily see which ones conflict and easily rearrange the installation order so that the mod with the best sounds load last.

This can hardly be emphasised strongly enough. BAIN - despite first appearances... and quite possibly first experiences! ;) - allows much easier, and far less painful installation and uninstallation of nearly any mod out there. Once you have a lot of mods, it could be rather horrid, doing without BAIN, in fact.
