In regards to http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=37765.0 :

I'm having a similar issue with adding weapon sounds. I enter them exactly as other weapons are in the sound file, but I hear nothing when i fire. they are in wav format. any ideas?

It's not really the flyby I would change into the table but the engine sound we (as a player) could heard into the cockpit.
AFAIK in X Wing Alliance, we heard clearly the tie engine inside the cockpit, as well for other crafts.

About the flyby I would prefer to add a new variable into the ships.tbl (like $FlyBySnd:   sample_Number ).

Engine sound entry refer only to external engine sound.
For the one you hear inside the cockpit, you need use this line: http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Ships.tbl#.24CockpitEngineSnd
Flyby sounds are species specific, for the time.

Was it absolutely, positively necessary to dig up a six-year-old thread and resurrect it instead of, you know, starting a new one?

Edit: split, dammit.

Code: (sounds.tbl header) [Select]

This file can only be modified to change *existing* sounds. Talk to a programmer if you want to add brand new sounds.
Adding a line to this file will not make your sound appear in the game, it will more than likely break something.
I don't *think* you can add sounds yet, AFAIK all you can do is edit existing entries. So if you want more different weapon-firing shots, you'll need to scavenge the shots from elsewhere.

You can add any number of new sounds. As of now, BP has 500 entries in it's sounds.tbl, though most are empty (500+ are reserved for the Betty script, so a long table is needed).
