Could someone make a list of what the context is supposed to be for each file in a soundset? I'm going to make some PC soundsets with HQ equipment. Some, like leadership change, are obvious. A few I don't quite understand from the existing ones.

I refer you to these "furious" topics, if you have more specific questions do not hesitate, we will try to answer them the best of our knowledge (however limited ) :

1) About Soundset
2) Customs Sounds Ideas
3) IE Soundset

" music soothes the soul "

Sources :

Data Sounds Base

Tool :

PS GUI

SoundSet:

Here is a very good Charac. Sounds Compilation : (Attached Files) For Baldur (BG1/BG2)

These are sounds converted (with IWD Voice Pack Converter by Greystar) of Icewind Dale : 1, 2 and Extension ; plus a few guests ...

-To unzip, and to integrate sounds files into the sound directory of the game (BG1 or BG2), and read from the Custom/Sound/Game U.I.,
-Or to read with a Game Editor like Near Infinity (N.I.).,

-Sounds exploitables, also,
for NPCs or other charac/avatars (in the case of a Single, Multiplayer, Single / Multiplayer Game),
for Mods (NPC, KIT, etc) ...

Enjoy, !

P.S. :
Also it would be nice of you to tell us what are your skills of engineering sound,
because I like put online a database of different sounds from the role play games and if you actually enjoys a high level of equipment you could attend ...
Also I enjoy more ambient sounds in Baldur, if you have something to offer us at long term it would be great...

N.B.
FYI, if you want a precise correlation between BG and IWD Soundset,
As above for BG2, here are the references of the sounds of IWD2 from the manual of the Game .

Customizing Icewind Dale II Sound Personalities
===============================================

The following is a list of the WAV files required to create custom sound
personality sets. In the 'Sounds' folder located in the directory in which
Icewind Dale II is installed in, you will need to create a subdirectory that is
used to store your new character personality. The new folder can be up to 32
characters in length. This folder will be displayed in the game as one
of the voice set options. Below is a listing of all the required voice sounds
that are needed in that new subdirectory. Replace the xxxxx with a unique name
that would not be used in other subdirectories. For example, mysnd01,
mysnd02, etc. As long as the xxxxx is unique, the voice sounds will show up
and work properly in Icewind Dale II.

All of the sound files must be 22 kHz, 16-bit, mono WAV files.

xxxxx01.wav : Morale Failure 1
xxxxx02.wav : Morale Failure 2
xxxxx03.wav : Battle Cry 1

Eric: Yes.

Salomon: I have an M-Audio cound card and pre-amp and SM58 mic. I use Sound Forge for recording. It was originally for recording songs.

I'm looking to come up with more gnomish/dwarfish/orcish voices lacking in the stock sets of BG2. I just have to take a break from playing to get around to it. Hehe. I will upload it when done. I don't have Icewind Dale 2, btw.

-Regarding Soundset Compilation I uploaded, they are sounds that I converted for Baldur Gate ...

[CaleyM]

Yeah, so, two years later I'm working on a serious voice set. The human set is mostly done. I'm trying to concoct some really goofy stuff for the Orc/Gnome.
Here is what I have so far: http://speedy.sh/23M8a/BG2-Voice-Sets.7z
Please critique.
