Alright, so I finally got around to adding some weapons to my campaign. However, the sound effect that's supposed to play along with it doesn't work with the .tbm file I've attached below. I believe I've isolated the problem to the .tbm file, since I can force the sound to play using the play-sound-from-file SEXP. The weapon table that uses the sound works (minus the sound).

Code: [Select]

#Game Sounds Start
$Name: 192 sound.ogg, 0, 0.80, 1, 2000, 3000
$Name: 193 smallexplosion1.ogg, 0, 0.80, 1, 500, 1000

#Game Sounds End
I looked at other mods to see what they did - It looks like they just outright replace the .tbl file with their own. When I tried adding the above entry to the appropriate section in the copied sound.tbl, I ended up generating 270 errors. I feel like I'm just missing something here. Would anybody care to help me out?

Sounds tbms are quite new, so most mods probably just haven't used it yet.

The hard part is that the tbm has a different format than the old sounds.tbl. With the TBM, your entry should look like this.

Code: [Select]

$Name: SOMESTRING1
    +Filename: sound.ogg
    +Preload: no
    +Volume: 0.80
    +3D Sound:
        +Attenuation start: 2000
        +Attenuation end: 3000

$Name: SOMESTRING2
    +Filename: smallexplosion1.ogg
    +Preload: no
    +Volume: 0.80
    +3D Sound:
        +Attenuation start: 500
        +Attenuation end: 1000

With a tbm, you don't need to specify a number/sound index, you can just name the sound as a string and call it elsewhere with that.

Additional information about the sounds.tbl and sounds.tbm can be found on the Wiki. Hope that helps.

That worked like a charm. Much thanks!
