Add support for additional sound effects

Post by Arreon »

I have a bit of experience with audio design and I would like to contribute some of the sound effects I made to Warzone 2100. The problem is I don't know how to use them in the game without overwriting others. Someone told me before that the sound effects are hard-coded, and since I'm no coder, I probably can't do this on my own. Perhaps someone like a dev can add support for custom sound effects, if that hasn't been done already.

If it is possible to add sounds to Warzone without overwriting others, by all means, explain. :) I made a thread on Mapping/Modding that contains some of the sound effects that I have designed.

This is good candidate for new scripts usage, to register those sounds (set path, type and when they should be played).
Although I see issue with inconsistent voices, and build in synthesizer could weight some KB. ;-)
