(2) Long description

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Point Lookout is my favourite DLC, such atmosphere with a map large & interesting enough for continued play.

One annoying problem I noticed a long while ago was the absence of open & close sounds from many of the Point Lookout specific doors.

Particularly noticeable on the big gate outside the Ark & Dove cathedral but also on wooden doors & kitchen cabinets.

Recently I was learning to animate .nif's & as a side effect I figured out what the issue was with the doors. So I fixed them & decided to release it.

Only open & close sounds have been added, no other changes have been made to these meshes.

Apart from the kitchen cabinet single door, the animation has been corrected so that it now opens & closes as well as the sound being fixed.

All sounds used are the vanilla ones that were intended for use with these models.

To uninstall, open your mod manager, open the Package Manager, left click on the mod & select Deactivate.

Manual Install:

Download manually, unpack the archive, drag the extracted folder & drop it into your Fallout 3 folder (not into the Data folder as the package is already named Data). Say yes when asked to overwrite.
