Lol, my sounds must have super sucked. I am not sure what you were referenceing int he beginning about objections, unless you mean the effects sound announcement. I think My email is either slow or something. Anyway, I like the idea of those sounds being placed in like that. I have lots of whooshes and lots of thuds and hits, but very few of them are actually connected in one sound. The only problem is that right now, I have started to notice some some sound hiccups. It isn't often and it isn't reproduceable in a consistent manner, but I do notice it in the zombie map a bit. Sometimes a death sound will happen before the attack sound is played, sometimes the death sound is not played at all. If those sounds you are talking about are able to be consistent I think it will be cool. So, if there is a sound with all the whooshes and grunts and whatnot are included, would that still be able to be used? For instance the Red wall abbey map has good sounds that feature several elements already. It sounded like it wouldn't be a problem but I wanted to make sure I read that right. How would that work? Would the full sound be labeled as the pre one?

Additionally I'm thinking of having sounds like this: attack_pre.wav attack.wav warrior_hit.wav attack_pre would happen first, then when it finishes the 2 other sounds would play together. In this way you could have an attack_pre sound for an arrow flying and a sound for it making contact would play at the same time as the grown of the warrior. Similarly a sound for creating and firing a fireball could be fireball_pre, then when it finishes the explosion sound and the unit getting hit sound would play at the same time. Potentially for a fireball since it does splash damage all the units hit would play their pain sounds at the same time as the explosion. I think that allows for a reasonable amount of flexibility. And if you don't have all those sounds then attack_pre versus attack are pretty much the same and you can have the current kind of behavior. Ian Reed
