FMOD Designer FEV File Version and Header

#1

Hey, I am in the process of modifying sounds in a game. I modified some sounds but they are very quiet in game compared to original sounds.

I will fix it myself later, but I noticed something different with FEV files.

I opened a FEV file that ships with the game using Notepad, and I saw its header is “FEV1”.

But when I opened my FEV file ( Built with FMOD Designer 4.36 which supports FSB Version 4 ) using Notepad, its header is not “FEV1”. It is “RIFF? FEV”.

I suspect that header difference for getting low volume sounds in game.

I like to know why there are header difference in FEV files. Are they different versions of FEV files?

Hi,
Older versions of FEV said FEV but later verrsions of FEV were moved into the RIFF format.

Thanks for the reply, I already managed to make my sound mod properly using FMOD Designer 4.32.09.

Because it is the latest version that supports FEV 1.
I had to do it because the game only supports FEV 1 and FSB 4.

When I used latest version, the sound doesn’t work because version mismatches.

Anyway thanks for the help.
