sound for mounting a scanner?

Sat May 05, 2007 1:02 pm by FadeOut

I added scanners and tractors do unmountable equipment of the ship, but when I mount - unmount them, there is no sound. Now, I do have desired sound.wav in audio directory and it's mentioned in sonuds's ini, but what next? I cannot find where it is assigned, that this particular sound is supposed to by played when mounting thruster or shield. Or, in my case, scanner.

You will need to add the sound here

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\DATA\AUDIO\SOUNDS\UI

Other than this file, I can find no other for adding it.

Yes, but how I'll make it to be played when the scanner is mounted/ unmounted? There in not original wav to be replaced.

Take this file for instance:
ui_equip_mount05

copy it up one folder and rename it to: ui_scanner_mount01
Then move the new sound file back to the original folder where it came from.

Next: Add this line to the interface.ini file:

Sound <-enclose in brackets
nickname = ui_scanner_mount01
type = interface
file = audio\sounds\ui\ui_scanner_mount01.wav
attenuation = -8

That's about it unless I missed something.

It's not working. To make the scanners visible I added to the file misc_equip.ini following entries:
Good <-enclosed in brackets
nickname = ge_s_scanner_01
equipment = ge_s_scanner_01
category = equipment
price = 100
item_icon = equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\EQUIPICON_radarjammer.3db
combinable = False
ids_name = 263750
ids_info = 264750
shop_archetype = equipment\models\commodities\crates\crate_grey.3db

And changed misc_equip.ini to:

Scanner <-enclosed in brackets
nickname = ge_s_scanner_01
ids_name = 263750
ids_info = 264750
volume = 0.000000
mass = 100
range = 2500
cargo_scan_range = 2000
lootable = true
explosion_arch = debris_normal
debris_type = debris_normal
hit_pts = 6752
explosion_resistance = 0.500000

Shall I add some line about the "ui_scanner_mount01" sound? The others items (thrusters, shields) do not have such a lines, is it hard-coded or something?
