or in your common folder. :wink:

Perfect. So that explains it. Every folder in the AltNN need to have the exact number of files and naming. I can do this. Thanks

Would I be able to do this for Tracks as well?

25

Not for tracks. Tracks are not effect sounds. Alt Sounds only apply to effect sounds.

Will the special function idle sound be able to be used in alt font by chance? If so, would naming be idle1.wav

Thanks

Sure, you’d just have to put the sound the Ability is looking for in each altNNN/ directory, but the Special Ability doesn’t use idle.wav it will use a transition sound. The library will generate the sound instructions based on what you’ve selected, this includes the expected filename for the sound. Then you’d just put a copy of that sound in each altNNN.

Thanks. So the sound itself would be Trloop00.wav if that is what I set. I misunderstood that that sound was an activation sound. If I am using a shared Tr00 sound for all alt sounds in a shared TR folder, would it be a best practice to add all of the TR sounds directly into the altNN directories or just the Trloop sound.

I appreciate the help.

If the library instructions say use trloop00.wav, then you need to have trloop00.wav in each altNNN/ folder -AND- not in the root. If you select other options that include using trloop, then those sounds also need to be in altNNN/ as well. They can be the same exact sound, but they need to be represented in the alts the same way for all sounds that share a name, even though the code expects a specific file, the sound is an effect so all of the sounds with the same name need to be in the altNNN folders.

For clarification, trloop.wav and tr.wav are two different effects, if you only want trloop.wav to change with the alt and you don’t want tr.wav to change, the trloop.wav needs to be in the altNNN/ and tr.wav does not. But if you want ANY of the tr.wav or trloop.wav sounds to change, they all need to be in the altNNN/ respectively. You can’t have some tr.wav in root and some in altNNN and you can’t have some trloop.wav in root and some in altNNN.
