Max_Caine Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I thought it might be nice to share what tools I use in modding Xenonauts. At the moment, I'm making custom sounds. I use two tools for this. The first tool I use is Bfxr, which is a simple but very effective tool for making custom sounds, as opposed to having an existing sound and editing it. It's not perfect by any means - it's free, whaddaya expect? But it's a great starting point for making custom sounds. When I have my custom sound, I take it into Audacity for mixing, editing and more tinkering (the mixer in Bfxr is arse). I'm only a novice, but hayl, I can spend hours and hours just tweaking little sections to try and get that perfect sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightgemini Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Looks interesting. Never tried getting into sound editing, maybe in a future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I have used Audacity a few times and it is surprisingly good for free software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Can anyone reccomend free and reasonably decent art software? I'm going to try my hand at a spritesheet soonish (it's going to be a disaster, I know it. I am crap at art ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one I have used was GIMP a few years back and (risking becoming somebody's sig here) I was quite a big GIMP fan for a while. I have been told pixlr is pretty good as well but not tried it.

Wrath_IX Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Here is the software I am using for picture editing: paint.net It is really good for people who are not pro at picture editing. Did all my custom/mod art assets with this (still working on the mod though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalrusJones Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 (edited) Brilliant, I needed something to do sound. Edit: I will probably be able to be able to do a release with updated sound assets by the end of the weekend, but getting alien armor done will take a bit longer, probably. Thanks to all who linked useful tools for doing sound! Submachineguns, and heavy pistols now have proper sounds (And I am likely to do a new one for the battle rifle and soviet shotgun.) Edit2: Huh... The game doesn't seem to like new sound types being added to it. Edit3: You need to edit sound_gc.xml to add new sound, as an FYI.
