So I've been looking around for some sort of tutorial on making soundets for BG2 and have been failing. Thing is, I've made soundsets for NWN2 (I know. They were for NWN when I started, but when NWN2 came out I figured I'd just make them for it, this was before I knew the controls in NWN2 were horrid) so converting them to be usable in BG2 shouldn't be too difficult. I just don't know what to name everything or what all sounds I'd need to add/remove. Nor do I know what awkwardly specific wav format is needed.

You can find previews to the sets in the above link. The video descriptions provide links to where you can download them in the NWN2Vault.

I also had two others that were once exclusive to a NWN2 rp module that I've not been able to join in some time.

A kobold

and a mute.

It took me a long time to hunt those down now that Bioware doesn't have the NWN2 forums and the Isandor forums (the module they were exclusive to) is also down.

No previews for those, so if you're wanting to hear them you'll have to download them.

The format is standard "Windows .wav" for soundset files. Nothing special, and thankfully not proprietary, but they probably need to be 8-bit mono (and I further assume PCM, if that's important).

This might be a bit late, but whatever. The instructions for making custom soundsets for BG2 are in the game readme, in the SoA section.

(MAX 7 CHARACTERS in XXXXXXX, plus one character as noted
below for a total of 8 letters). All the WAV files should be
22 khz, 16 bit mono sounds.
