Sector and Ambient Sfx List Updated 6/25/97
A sound is a sound. Make it an Ambient Sfx (#710) and it repeats over and over. Make it a Sector Sfx (#709)and it plays up to 4 sounds in a row one sound at a time. Any sound can be used either way which means there are thousands of unexplored possibilities for creating new effects.
Tired of making doors that sound like doors. Ok, make them talk when they open. The haunted wind a little boring, why not a menacing voice in the background that repeats over and over something like "Worship me!" The hand that chokes you, hate it right? Me too! Why not make a door that says "I'll swallow your soul" when it opens. That's gonna back a few people up and bring out the TNT.
There are already some good tutorials on Sector Sfx triggers. There are 4 sound switches in a Sector Sfx and the easiest way to visualize how this works is to start with an old fashioned Doom door. (See Tempest's excellent tutorial on Doom doors.) Set a #709 sprite in the Sector that defines the door itself. (Inside the red lined box) For data#1 select the sound you want to hear when it opens. For Data#2 select the sound you want to hear when it stops opening. (bang, click, scream?) For data#3 select a sound you want the door to make when it is sliding closed and for data#4 pick a sound the door will make when it stops. (Like I'm gonna eat your soul.)
For Sector Sfx sounds use any of the Data #3 Sound numbers of the Ambient list and just transpose them to the Data #1 through #4 positions in the Sector Sfx set up box.
Some popular Sector Sfx #709 combinations:
Doom Doors: (106,157,106,157) (103,158,103,158) (32,312,32,312) Metal Gate: (104,159,104,159) Sliding Door: (111,159,111,159) (114,151,114,151) (111,163,111,163) Hinged Door: (119,0,119,159) (101,0,100,150 (117,0,117,156)
Why the 0 for data#2 on the hinged door? A door may squeak when you open it but it makes no noise when it stops squeaking.
P.S. In choosing names for the sounds I tried to be objectively descriptive, (most of the time), but I did not listen to each sound as both an Ambient Sound and a Sector Sound. I didn't really follow a pattern. Try them out and enjoy experimenting!
P.S.P.S Yes there are sounds up in the 4,000's all the way up to 8,000. After listening to several hundred I found nothing but duplicates. In fact some of the sounds here are duplicates just with different numbers. Why? Why ask why?
Ambient Sfx For Ambient Sfx State 1 must be turned on, all other settings remain off or unchanged. Data#1 and Data#2 describe the diameter of a brown and yellow circle the center of which is your ASOUND sprite (#710). These 2 circles define the area in which the sprite will be heard.
Data #3 identifies the sound that is assigned to the sprite.
