Fallout 2 Modding - New SFX

Importing new sound effects into your Fallout 2 mod is not the easiest thing in the world, mostly because the game uses a proprietary file format for sounds. But there are a couple of older pieces of software out there made by some of the original Fallout modders (ABel of TeamX in the case of snd2acm.exe), and this step by step tutorial should help new-comers to the Fallout 2 modding scene to add sweet new sounds to their awesome mod!
