Editing the Sounds of Music

Padme4000 edited this page Mar 11, 2022 · 10 revisions

Joke name aside this tutorial will be showing in general how to find the sound you want to replace/edit. With the end result hopefully making it so you can edit the base Cabin Music - More Variety mod by beccatoria and myself. That will be easier to edit than some examples in this tutorial as I made sure that package was remade to be easier to edit. I will show what it originally looks like compared to the mods version of the same package. I highly advise only remaking a package if you know what you are doing or testing thoroughly once you've done it.

Tools We'll Be Using

Legendary Explorer

  • Asset Database
  • Package Editor
  • AFC Compactor

ME3 Tweaks Mod Manager

  • ASI Manager (Streaming Levels HUD)

Getting Started

First we need to work out where we want to look at, to do this we want to use the Streaming Levels HUD asi so in game we can see what packages are being streamed, which will give us a good idea of what packages to look at.

Streaming Levels HUD

The Streaming Levels HUD ASI is super handy to help work out what PCC (package) you want to edit.

You can find it in ME3 Tweaks Mod Manager > Mod Management > ASI Mod Manager (see image 01)

Once open click on the game you want to install the ASI for, then click on Streaming Levels HUD and then install ASI (see image 02)

Then in game you get to the area you want to edit. On top left you will see green and yellow text such as image 03 below.

So why do we do this? We do this to better work out what PCC we may need to edit in the area we go to. So when we use asset database we can search for all mentioned packages and open them until we find the one we believe the sound is being streamed from.

So from my image above we would assume the Cabin music is being streamed from BioD_Nor_100CabinMusic

Using Asset Database

So since we have a rough idea of which file we want to edit or look at we open Asset Database which can be found Legendary Explorer > Utilities > Asset Database (see image 04)
