As the description says, I am in need of a guide on how to create a holotape. I have followed http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Audio_Settings_For_Dialogue_Video_Tutorial and it was of so little help, again as the description says, I am so frustrated I could break something.

I have the audio file I want to use. I put it in the geck as a new sound(.wav file is what I am using) I then create a new topic for my NPC and add the sound. Then where it says the path down below I create that path and put the .wav and a copy of it that is an .mp3 file under that path with the suggested file name. I then create a holotape and put my npc as the speaker and then add the topic. At absolute best I can get the holotape to appear and get picked up but have no sound, at worst a CTD as soon as I attempt to play the tape. Anyone have some help?

Check this out and see if it meets your expectations:

There may be a bug or three as this is my first crack at such a guide and I too am still learning the GECK (probably will be my whole life!). Hopefully it all works well, and any feedback is appreciated!

Cheers,

I found out what I was doing wrong(thanks to your guide there), and that was that I wasn't making the audio files small enough and letting FO3 link them together. Your guide is awesome and definitely needs to be stickied/wikied somewhere. It works absolutely perfect.

Awesome!! I was nervous that the process would work for me and not for anyone else (lol). Its good news that its working!! I'll sit on it a week or so and collect any needed changes people post, and will post-up version 1.1 as production next week.

I have another running thread for this one too at: http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=966145

It was Tyana Rie that told me you were having troubles with it, I'm grateful she PMed me to focus on this one to start off the guides.

Cheers!

Tyana = male(or I certainly hope so, it's its voice on my holotapes xD )

Yeah, when I was having the issue I had to go drown my problems in a twelve pack. But I came back and got your guide off the nexus and now all my tapes are in game and working. . .and of course as soon as I type that the GECK has to crash. As soon as I figure out WTF did/didn't get saved I will ask a mod to close this topic.

Edit: well apparently the GECK saved then froze and crashed and didn't give me an error message, so whatever. Didn't lose a thing. Asking for this thread to be closed now.

Closed per OP request.
