Title: Comlink Sounds
Post by: LoneKnight on November 13, 2010, 03:30:54 pm: This is a simple question - I recall that somewhere (either online or on FS disks) there was the sound effects for when a ship started a message, and then click for when the message ended. It's been a few years since I've used those, and I was wondering where I could find those two sound effects.

Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks!

You also might want to check in data/freddocs of your FS2 root directory. msgstart.wav, msgend.wav, emptymsg.wav, and vasudantalk.wav are in there.

That was exactly what I was looking for - thanks!

I'm pretty sure they're underscores.
