Hi,

I have no weapon firing sounds. There are hit sounds and reload sounds just not firing. I also have invisible water; the water is there as I can swim around in it and hear the splashing, but it is not visible at all. Vanilla Fallout 3 is fine on both counts, so I assume one of the mods hasn't been installed correctly, and I've stuffed a setting somewhere.

My load order for mods:

[X] Fallout3.esm[X] Anchorage.esm[X] CRAFT.esm[X] CALIBR.esm[X] FO3 Wanderers Edition - Main File.esm[X] Mart's Mutant Mod.esm[X] DarNifiedUIF3.esp[X] CALIBRxMerchant.esp[X] CRAFT - Activation Perk.esp[X] Stealthboy Recon Armor - CRAFT.esp[X] KillableKidsNormalHealthOptional.esp[X] FO3 Wanderers Edition - Main File.esp[X] FO3 Wanderers Edition - DLC Anchorage.esp[X] FO3 Wanderers Edition - Optional Sneak Msgs.esp[X] FO3 Wanderers Edition - Optional Restore Tracers.esp[X] EVE.esp[X] EVE Operation Anchorage.esp[X] EVE Anchorage - FWE DLC Anchorage.esp[X] EVE - FWE Master Release.esp[X] Mart's Mutant Mod.esp[X] Mart's Mutant Mod - DLC Anchorage.esp[X] Mart's Mutant Mod - Natural Selection.esp[X] Mart's Mutant Mod - No Corpse Flies.esp[X] Mart's Mutant Mod - Zones Respawn.esp[X] Mart's Mutant Mod - No Ghoul Raise.esp[X] Mart's Mutant Mod - FWE Master Release.esp[X] Mart's Mutant Mod - FWE with EVE.esp

With the firing sounds I thought it may have been some missing files for one of the mods, but I've checked and can't see anything that I may have missed.

For the water, I have changed settings in fallout.ini but nothing under the [water] heading. Let me know if it would help to post my full fallout.ini. Falloutprefs.ini is also unchanged in the water department.

hope someone can help

Make sure you have the assets from all mods properly installed and that you have archive invalidation applied.

Thanks for the reply,

yeah I have Archive Invalidation Invalidated applied. I have double checked all the assets for the mods I have and none seem to be missing. I have tried reinstalling them as well.

It must be either FWE or EVE causing the problem. I assume MMM doesn't change any of the weapons.

For FWE I basically extracted the FWE Master Release 4-1-1 - Main Files and the FWE_Master_Release_4-1_-_Assets into my data directory.

For EVE I extracted the EVE_Beta_095 and the EVE_-_Operation_Anchorage into my data directory.

Other assets from these mods appear in the game (new models, new sounds etc), I just don't have my weapon firing sounds. All other sounds are fine.

For the 10mm pistol for example, there does not appear to be any modified sound files for it from the mods, so it should be using the sounds from the Fallout - Sound.bsa. I extracted the 10mm firing sounds and placed them in the appropriate directory under data to see if that made a difference, which it didn't.

the very very first thing you do when mods give you problems is, disable them one by one until the problem stops, if it still happens then ask the forums. other than that the only other thing i can think of has already been suggested

Yeah think back to the last mod you installed. That more then likely is what is causing this if the sound was working prior to its installation. If you installed mods in bulk then you will have to go one by one down those mods turning them on and off until you find it. When you find it then you can explore and see if there are any bad changes on it. The geck can give you a list of all modifications and changes that were made with the mod. Could also just be a few files missing here or there ^_^
