Detailed description from the Mod Author[edit]
Took me ages to finally figure out, but it works! This was one of the first mods I ever started on, but I hadn't known how to make it work until now!
Technical stuff because I'm proud of myself: Previous versions simply slotted Hatchlings into the "light" (gnomes, saris, etc). category, Adults into "medium," (humans, fiends) and Ancients into "heavy" (half-giants, welger) which already existed in the vanilla definition. But I'm pleased to say I was able to imitate the format used for biped categories to write a whole new section into the footstep soundmapping, enabling dragons to use semi-custom sounds. Most are lifted from the vanilla sounds used for each biped category, but I also edited 20+ tracks for pitch and material quality to try and make everything fit. It's definitely not perfect, but I'm quite happy with it!
Installation: simply unzip into your resources_override folder and enjoy!
Compatibility: will not play nice with any other mods affecting the same files (namely, the track definitions for Dragons of all ages and the Sound_Footsteps definition file).
Known Issues: Sometimes footstep sounds will simply not play, especially when moving over terrain transitions. Possibly related to cache loading? Usually this will resolve itself by moving to a different location, but I'm still working on a real fix.
