Library of Missing Audio Files for NWN2

In the NWN2 toolset, the soundset.2da file defines the sound sets that are available for selection in a creature blueprint. Many of the sounds sets have their ancestry in NWN, and examination of the NWN2 SSF files shows the individual sound names match the sound files in NWN. Unfortunately, a large number of these sound files were never migrated from NWN to NWN2, so the sound sets with those sound files are non-functional.

This library is intended to address this limitation by providing the missing .wav files. To locate the missing sound files, I looked through the soundset.2da file for rows with no STRREF value. The individual SSF file was examined with the toolset's Sound Set Editor plugin, and the .wav files extracted from NWN using the NWN Explorer tool.

Note that if you use this set in combination with the Sound Set Selection Menu Fix, you won't need to use the 'soundset.2da' file from that mod.
