I think that for sounds to play in TB, they can't be vbr encoded mp3s. -----Original Message----- From: ian-reeds-games-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ian-reeds-games-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Monkey Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2015 1:52 PM To: ian-reeds-games@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ian-reeds-games] Re: looking for some help That's no problem, I was asking a lot of questions when I started too. Most of mine were mistakes that I kept making though, if I remember correctly. For the death sound, yes. grunt_death would theoretically play when the grunt dies, if you specify the sound=grunt in the grunt's unit file. Some sounds might not play, though. I guess it depends on the bitrate of the sound, or something along those lines. I have a couple of sounds that won't play in the game that do play in media player, so I have to look into them one of these days.
