I'm trying to alter the sound of the SecurityBotX (DEDX AI) to sound like it's clomping around on a stone surface. Right now, it's a cheesy metallic sound. What do I change in the schema?
[INDENT]//COMBATBOT FOOT METAL
schema foot_combotmet
archetype FOOT_AI
volume -300
ft_cb1m ft_cb2m ft_cb3m ft_cb4m
env_tag (Event Footstep) (CreatureType CombatBot) (Material Metal MetGrate)
env_tag (Event Footstep) (CreatureType CombatBot) (Landing True) (Material Metal MetGrate)[/INDENT]
Does the schema have to be shipped with the mission, or does "Reload Schemas" update the gamesys?

You don't want to modify that schema. That's for the sound the bot makes walking on metal. This is the schema for the sound it makes walking on anything else:
//COMBATBOT FOOT
schema foot_combot
archetype FOOT_AI
volume -600 //was -400
ft_cb1 ft_cb2 ft_cb3 ft_cb4
env_tag (Event Footstep) (CreatureType CombatBot)
env_tag (Event Footstep) (CreatureType CombatBot) (Landing True)
If you want a new sound for walking on stone, or walking on wood, you need to make new schemas with the env_tag calling out the material desired. For example:
//COMBATBOT FOOT STONE
schema foot_combotstn
archetype FOOT_AI
volume -600 //was -300
// new sound files that you have to make for footsteps on stone
ft_cb1s ft_cb2m ft_cb3s ft_cb4s
env_tag (Event Footstep) (CreatureType CombatBot) (Material Stone)
env_tag (Event Footstep) (CreatureType CombatBot) (Landing True) (Material Stone)
Possible material surfaces which may need their own schemas, depending on where your bot can go, might be Wood, Liquid [you will also need (MediaLevel Foot) for this one], Ice, Snow, and so on. Look in the FEET.SCH file for materials used on other AI footteps.

Yeah, this bot is confined to one room, which has a stone floor. But if I have to create the sounds, forget it.

You will need to make the sound files. Sorry.
