Can anybody explain me how I may add new sounds into SOUNDDEFS wad lump and call them in progs? These Defs changed much since last time I used them. And the same question is about music.

Just put your new sounds definitions in a new SNDINFO lump. Music of a map is till specified with MUSIC command in MAPINFO lump.

Sorry, it is SNDINFO ofcourse. But actually I wished to know what is the meaning of all these $playeralias, $playersounddup, $limit etc keywords. About music - there's a function ChangeMusic. What parameter it takes? - name of music lump, yes? Do I need to register it somewhere, in some wad lump?

[quote="Crimson Wizard":3jgiv8s6]About music - there's a function ChangeMusic. What parameter it takes? - name of music lump, yes? Do I need to register it somewhere, in some wad lump? ChangeMusic take as parameter the music lump name inside the wad (D_RUNNIN, for example), the music lump should be inside the wad file, there isn't need of anything else.

I remember making new definitions in SNDINFO once, and then none of the sounds worked properly. <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? --> Is there any correct way to create new sounds and have everything work? Or was it just a hardware problem? <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

The problem is that original Hexen does not allow to add NEW SNDINFO entries, you may only change existing ones (replace sound lump name for example), because all sound titles are written into EXE. Vavoom engine allows to add as many new entries as you wish.

Can I give music lumps titles as for sounds and use them in progs? I am not sure using lump names is a good solution, because I may forget them and they may change in future, and so on.

[quote="Crimson Wizard":1lr9ai5v]Can I give music lumps titles as for sounds and use them in progs? I am not sure using lump names is a good solution, because I may forget them and they may change in future, and so on. What do you mean? SNDINFO already has a way to define the sound to play, even if it changes the default name, using another SNDINFO with different names won't change anything. Unless I didn't understood what you mean.

I mean giving names for MUSIC. For example: WinnowingHallBackground for Winnowr.
