The sounds.tbl is a file for defining the various sounds played ingame.

This table is one of the Modular Tables and can be extended with xxx-snd.tbm

Format

Table file consists of several sections
First section defines the sound for the actual game play. It begins at #Game Sounds Start and ends at#Game Sounds End
Second section defines the interface sounds. It starts at #Interface Sounds Start and ends at #Interface Sounds End
Third section defines the flyby sounds for different species. It begins at #Flyby Sounds Start and ends at #Flyby Sounds End
This table has three possible syntaxes. The "Sound set" syntax allows to use multiple sounds. The "SCP Syntax" was introduced as a general improvement over the retail Syntax and is very similar to the sound set syntax.
- The Sound set syntax allows to specify multiple sound files for one sound entry and also has a wider variety of options for specifying how the sound should be played. This syntax is based on the SCP syntax and it should be easy to adapt sound entries that use the SCP syntax to the new sound set syntax. This is only required if the new features of the sound set changes are to be used. Otherwise the SCP syntax can be used.
- The SCP Syntax is an improvement of the retail syntax whis is easier to read, and likely preferred for modular tables and extendability.
- The Retail Syntax is the syntax used by the retail tables which was kept in place to keep retail compatibility
Most of the sounds are hardcoded in the engine (that is, the engine expects sound 33 to be the missile rearm sound, as an example). Modders should follow the retail table layout, and not assign sound numbers smaller than 250 to their custom sounds. This avoids index collisions.

Sound set syntax

Note: Many retail sound names are hardcoded to a specific type of sound, so removing entries is not recommended. However adding new ones or altering existing ones is possible. See the hardcoded sounds for a list of which sounds have hardcoded names.

FS2 Open, 19.0:

If this syntax is in use then the new sound set features can be used. These include the ability to use multiple sound files for one entry and with this feature it is possible to randomize the volume and pitch values when a sound is played. Compared to the SCP syntax there are only a few changes: Instead of +Filename this now uses +Entry and allows using that option as often as needed. The +Volume option accepts a random range for possible values and the +Pitch option is new.

In most entries, the name of the file (Second value) can be replaced with 'empty' if the particular sound index is not in use.

#Game Sounds Start

Notes

Cockpit sounds are in general non-3D sounds
All the other in-flight sounds are, in general, 3D sounds
Non-3D sounds do not require the +3D Sound entries

Example Line

$Name: 6
    +Entry: breakup
    +Cycle type: sequential
    +Preload: no
    +Volume: (0.60)
    +3D Sound:
        +Attenuation start: 100
        +Attenuation end: 800
    +Priority: High
    +Limit: 3
    +Pitch: (1.0)

$Name:

Specifies the sound handle which FSO will use to identify the sound from other tables
If +nocreate is to be used, it must come after $Name: and before the String
Syntax: String

Warning: The name may not contain any whitespace (space or tab characters) or the old parsing code will be used.

+nocreate

Allows editing of the sound without creating a new sound handle
Must be placed after $Name: and before the String
Example
- ```
$Name: +nocreate SoundName
```

Warning: Unlike most other tables, existing entries cannot be overwritten/modified without the presence of +nocreate.

+Entry:

The name of the actual sound file. This option may appear more than once if multiple sound files should be used for this sound entry.
Always required once, even if +nocreate is used.
To specify no sound file, use "empty" (without the quotes)
If +nocreate is used then sound files can only be added to the sound but no other modification is available.
Syntax: String

+Cycle type:

Specifies how the next sound entry should be chosen from the +Entry list
Required, optional if +nocreate is used
May use one of the following modes:
- sequential: The entry will be chosen sequentially from the list. Note: The sequence of played sounds is determined globally so if there are two sound sources using the same entry then the sounds may appear as missing parts for either source since the other source used that entry before.
- random: An entry is chosen uniformly at random from the entries list
Syntax: sequential or random

+Preload:

Specifies whether FSO should always preload the sound before the mission or not
Optional if +nocreate is used, required otherwise
Syntax: Boolean

+Volume:

Specifies the volume the sound should be played at as a random range between 0 and 1. The actual volume will be picked within that range whenever a sound is played
Optional if +nocreate is used, required otherwise
Syntax: Parsed random range

+3D Sound:

Sets up table syntax for specifying 3D sound options
If present the sound will be loaded as a 3D sound
No argument should be specified
Must be accompanied by +Attenuation Start: and +Attenuation End:

+Attenuation Start:

Defines the distance from the origin of the 3D sound where it begins to attenuate
Must be preceded by +3D Sound:
Syntax: Integer

+Attenuation End:

Defines the distance from the origin of the 3D sound where it is inaudible
Must be preceded by +3D Sound:
Syntax: Integer

+Priority:

Optional, for use with enhanced sound
Can be used with or without an accompanying +Limit:
Specifies the priority of this sound when enhanced sound is used
Should be based on how important this sound is and also how likely the player will notice if the sound drops out
overrides the engine default value
For valid values, see the table below. Values are not case-sensitive.
See the Enhanced sound page for more information.
Syntax: String

Value         Meaning
-----         -------
Must Play     Absolutely must play
High          Very important
Medium-High   Important
Medium        Somewhat important
Medium-Low    Only a little important
Low           Not important

+Limit:

Optional, for use with enhanced sound
Can be used with or without an accompanying +Priority:
Specifies how many instances of the sound can play at the same time
overrides the engine default value
Must be in the range 1 - 15

FS2 Open, 22.2:

Limit can now be set as high as 255

See the Enhanced sound page for more information,
Syntax: Integer

+Pitch:

Specifies which pitch values the sound may be assigned
Optional, defaults to 1.0
This is a random range which specifies the possible pitch values the sound may be assigned
The actual effect of these values is very complicated to describe so you should simply test to check which values sound well. A value of 1.0 plays the sound without any changes.
Syntax: Parsed random range

Section ends with #Game Sounds End

#Interface Sounds Start

Notes

Interface sounds are not 3D sounds. You may specify +3D Sound: properties, but they will be ignored.

Example Line

$Name: CraneSound1
    +Entry: Crane_1
    +Cycle type: sequential
    +Preload: no
    +Volume: 0.50

$Name:

Specifies the sound handle which FSO will use to identify the sound from other tables
If +nocreate is to be used, it must come after $Name: and before the String
Syntax: String

Warning: The name may not contain any whitespace (space or tab characters) or the old parsing code will be used.

+nocreate

Allows editing of the sound without creating a new sound handle
Must be placed after $Name: and before the String
Example
- ```
$Name: +nocreate SoundName
```

+Entry:

The name of the actual sound file. This option may appear more than once if multiple sound files should be used for this sound entry.
Always required once, even if +nocreate is used.
To specify no sound file, use "empty" (without the quotes)
If +nocreate is used then sound files can only be added to the sound but no other modification is available.
Syntax: String

+Cycle type:

Specifies how the next sound entry should be chosen from the +Entry list
Required, optional if +nocreate is used
May use one of the following modes:
- sequential: The entry will be chosen sequentially from the list. Note: The sequence of played sounds is determined globally so if there are two sound sources using the same entry then the sounds may appear as missing parts for either source since the other source used that entry before.
- random: An entry is chosen uniformly at random from the entries list
Syntax: sequential or random

+Preload:

Specifies whether FSO should always preload the sound before the mission or not
Syntax: Boolean

+Volume:

Specifies the volume the sound should be played at as a random range between 0 and 1. The actual volume will be picked within that range whenever a sound is played
Optional if +nocreate is used, required otherwise
Syntax: (Float) or (Float Float), example: (0.5 1.0). It is also valid to only specify one value if there should be no randomization.

+Pitch:

Specifies which pitch values the sound may be assigned
Optional, defaults to 1.0
This is a random range which specifies the possible pitch values the sound may be assigned
The actual effect of these values is very complicated to describe so you should simply test to check which values sound well. A value of 1.0 plays the sound without any changes.
Syntax: (Float) or (Float Float), example: (0.9 1.1). It is also valid to only specify one value if there should be no randomization.

#Flyby Sounds Start

Notes

Each species has two flyby sounds. One for the fighters and one for the bombers.
Flyby sounds are all 3D sounds.
Each flyby sound is defined on a line that begins with the species name (String, species name, eg. $Terran:).
THE FLYBY SECTION CANNOT USE +nocreate

If you want to modify a flyby sound entry of a species in a modular table then you will need to have entries for both types.

SCP Syntax

Note: Many retail sound names are hardcoded to a specific type of sound, so removing entries is not recommended. However adding new ones or altering existing ones is possible. See the hardcoded sounds for a list of which sounds have hardcoded names.

In most entries, the name of the file (Second value) can be replaced with 'empty' if the particular sound index is not in use.

#Flyby Sounds Start

Notes

Each species has two flyby sounds. One for the fighters and one for the bombers.
Flyby sounds are all 3D sounds.
Each flyby sound is defined on a line that begins with the species name (String, species name, eg. $Terran:).
THE FLYBY SECTION CANNOT USE +nocreate

If you want to modify a flyby sound entry of a species in a modular table then you will need to have entries for both types.

Line starts with $SPECIES: in the place of $Name:

Example Terran Section

$Terran: 0
    +Filename: T_flyby1
    +Preload: no
    +Volume: 0.75
    +3D Sound:
        +Attenuation start: 200
        +Attenuation end: 400

$Terran: 1
    +Filename: T_flyby2
    +Preload: no
    +Volume: 0.75
    +3D Sound:
        +Attenuation start: 200
        +Attenuation end: 400

$Name:

$Name must be replaced with $SPECIES as from the Species_defs.tbl
Specifies the sound handle which FSO will use to identify the sound from other tables
In this case it will usually be a 1 or a 0
Syntax: String

Warning: The name may not contain any whitespace (space or tab characters) or the old parsing code will be used.

+Filename:

The name of the actual sound file to play
Syntax: String

+Preload:

Specifies whether FSO should always preload the sound before the mission or not
Syntax: Boolean

+Volume:

Specifies the volume the sound should be played at as a percentage
Syntax: Float

+3D Sound:

Sets up table syntax for specifying 3D sound options
If present the sound will be loaded as a 3D sound
No argument should be specified
Must be accompanied by +Attenuation Start: and +Attenuation End:

+Attenuation Start:

Defines the distance from the origin of the 3D sound where it begins to attenuate
Must be preceded by +3D Sound:
Syntax: Integer

+Attenuation End:

Defines the distance from the origin of the 3D sound where it is inaudible
Must be preceded by +3D Sound:
Syntax: Integer

Retail Syntax

Note: Many retail sound names are hardcoded to a specific type of sound, so removing entries is not recommended. However adding new ones or altering existing ones is possible. See the hardcoded sounds for a list of which sounds have hardcoded names.

In most entries, the name of the file (Second value) can be replaced with 'empty' if the particular sound index is not in use.

#Game Sounds Start

Notes

Cockpit sounds are in general non-3D sounds that ought to be of type '0', however all the other in-flight sounds are in general 3D sounds and ought to of type '1' (or type '2').
Type 0 sounds do not require the Sixth and Seventh entries.

Example Line

$Name: 6 breakup.wav, 0, 0.60, 1, 100, 800

Line starts with $Name: and has seven entries separated by commas except for the first and second entries.

- First value is the index number of the sound (Integer)
- Second value is the name of actual sound file (String, filename).
- Third value sets the file to always preloaded before the mission (Integer, 0 or 1)
- Fourth value defines the playing volume of the sound in percentages (Float, from 0 to 1)
- Fifth value sets the sound type to either standard sound (type '0'), 3D stereo sound (type '1'), or Aureal A3D (type '2'). This defaults to 3D stereo if it is not available (Integer, 0, 1 or 2)
  - Sixth value defines the distance from the origin of 3D sound where it begins to attenuate and is not used with normal non-3D sounds (type 0)(Integer)
  - Seventh value sets the distance from the origin of the 3D sound where it is inaudible and is not used with normal non-3D sounds (type 0)(Integer)

Section ends with #Game Sounds End

#Interface Sounds Start

Notes

Interface sounds are not 3D sounds. Use type '0' sounds. The Sixth and Seventh entries can be left out of sounds in this section.

Example Line

$Name: 26 Crane_1.wav, 0, 0.50, 0

Line starts with $Name: and has five entries separated by commas except for the first and second entries.

- First value is the index number of the sound (Integer)
- Second value is the name of actual sound file (String, filename or Empty).
- Third value sets the file to always preloaded before the mission (Integer, 0 or 1)
- Fourth value defines the playing volume of the sound in percentages (Float, from 0 to 1)
- Fifth value sets the sound type to either standard sound (type '0'), 3D stereo sound (type '1'), or Aureal A3D (type '2'). This defaults to 3D stereo if it is not available (Integer, 0, 1 or 2)

Section ends with #Interface Sounds End

#Flyby Sounds Start

Notes

Each species has two flyby sounds. One for the fighters and one for the bombers.
Flyby sounds are all 3D sounds of type '1' for the Fifth value.
Each flyby sound is defined on a single line that begins with the species name (String, species name, eg. $Terran:).

Retail flyby section

$Shivan:	1	S_flyby2.wav,	0, 0.75, 1, 200, 400	; * Shivan ship1 flyby player sound (3d sound)

#Flyby Sounds End

Line starts with $SPECIES: and has seven entries separated by commas except for the first and second entries.

- First value is the label of the flyby sound, usually 0 for the first (small-ship) entry and 1 for the second (large-ship)entry. (Integer)
- Second value is the name of actual sound file (String, filename).
- Third value sets the file to always preloaded before the mission (Integer, 0 or 1)
- Fourth value defines the playing volume of the sound in percentages (Float, from 0 to 1)
- Fifth value sets the sound type and should be set to 3D stereo sound (type '1') (Integer, 0, 1 or 2)

FS2 Open, 3.7.2:

Sound Environments

Allows defining custom EFX sound effects (reverb) as well as changing the default. You can then select these in FRED2, under Mission Specs - Sound Environment. Fred2 already has a bunch of default ones coded in.

#Sound Environments Start

$Name:

Lets you define a name for this preset.
If it's "Default", it'll be applied in all missions that don't define their own.

$Template:

Lets you set the EAX template which will act as a default for all subsequent settings.
The default setting in FSO is "Hangar".
The default presets available in OpenAL-Soft can be found here. Please note that not all of them are implemented (anything not listed below the default section).
For easy editing, simply set a template and +gain.
The EAX Reverb manual contains detailed explenations of what all of these do if you want to fine tune them

Note:

All Subsequent settings are optional.
Their defaults are defined by $Template:

;  If a sound entry appears in this file, there is a hook into the game to
;  play the sound.  This file can only be modified to change *existing* sounds.
;  Talk to a programmer if you want to add brand new sounds.  Adding a line to
;  this file will not make your sound appear in the game, it will more than
;  likely break something.
;
; 	If you don't want the sound to play, put none.wav as the sound to play.
;
;	The fields for a sound entry are:
;	1) unqiue sound signature
;	2) filename of the sound
;	3) flag to indicate sound should always be pre-loaded before a mission
;	4) the default volume (from 0.0 -> 1.0)
;	5) 0 - not 3d  1 - stereo 3D  2 - Aureal A3D (if available), otherwise use stereo 3D
;	6) distance at which sound starts to attenuate (for 3d sounds only)
;	7) distance at which sound is inaudible (for 3d sounds only)

 *Second section defines the interface sounds. It starts at '''#Interface Sounds Start''' and ends at '''#Interface Sounds End'''
 *Third section defines the flyby sounds for different species. It begins at '''#Flyby Sounds Start''' and ends at '''#Flyby Sounds End'''
+*This table has three possible syntaxes. The "Sound set" syntax allows to use multiple sounds. The "SCP Syntax" was introduced as a general improvement over the retail Syntax and is very similar to the sound set syntax.
+**The Sound set syntax allows to specify multiple sound files for one sound entry and also has a wider variety of options for specifying how the sound should be played. This syntax is based on the SCP syntax and it should be easy to adapt sound entries that use the SCP syntax to the new sound set syntax. This is only required if the new features of the sound set changes are to be used. Otherwise the SCP syntax can be used.
+**The SCP Syntax is an improvement of the retail syntax whis is easier to read, and likely preferred for modular tables and extendability.
+**The Retail Syntax is the syntax used by the retail tables which was kept in place to keep retail compatibility
+*Most of the sounds are hardcoded in the engine (that is, the engine expects sound 33 to be the missile rearm sound, as an example). Modders should follow the retail table layout, and not assign sound numbers smaller than 250 to their custom sounds. This avoids index collisions.
+==Sound set syntax==
+{{Note|Many retail sound names are hardcoded to a specific type of sound, so removing entries is not recommended. However adding new ones or altering existing ones is possible.  See the [[Hardcoded sounds|hardcoded sounds]] for a list of which sounds have hardcoded names.}}
+{{Table381|
+}}
+If this syntax is in use then the new sound set features can be used. These include the ability to use multiple sound files for one entry and with this feature it is possible to randomize the volume and pitch values when a sound is played. Compared to the SCP syntax there are only a few changes: Instead of ''+Filename'' this now uses ''+Entry'' and allows using that option as often as needed. The ''+Volume'' option accepts a random range for possible values and the ''+Pitch'' option is new.
+In most entries, the name of the file ('''Second''' value) can be replaced with 'empty' if the particular sound index is not in use.

+====+Entry:====
+*The name of the actual sound file. This option may appear more than once if multiple sound files should be used for this sound entry.
+*Always required once, even if +nocreate is used.
+*To specify no sound file, use "empty" (without the quotes)
+*If +nocreate is used then sound files can only be added to the sound but no other modification is available.
+*Syntax: '''String'''
+====+Cycle type:====
+*Specifies how the next sound entry should be chosen from the ''+Entry'' list
+*Required, optional if +nocreate is used
+*May use one of the following modes:
+**'''sequential''': The entry will be chosen sequentially from the list. '''Note:''' The sequence of played sounds is determined globally so if there are two sound sources using the same entry then the sounds may appear as missing parts for either source since the other source used that entry before.
+**'''random''': An entry is chosen uniformly at random from the entries list
+*Syntax: '''sequential''' or '''random'''
+====+Preload:====
+*Specifies whether FSO should always preload the sound before the mission or not
+*Syntax: '''Boolean'''
+====+Volume:====
+*Specifies the volume the sound should be played at as a random range between 0 and 1. The actual volume will be picked within that range whenever a sound is played
+*Optional if +nocreate is used, required otherwise
+*Syntax: '''(Float)''' or '''(Float Float)''', example: ''(0.5 1.0)''. It is also valid to only specify one value if there should be no randomization.
+====+3D Sound:====
+*Sets up table syntax for specifying 3D sound options
+*If present the sound will be loaded as a 3D sound
+*No argument should be specified
+*Must be accompanied by '''+Attenuation Start:''' and '''+Attenuation End:'''
+====+Attenuation Start:====

+====+Attenuation End:====
+*Defines the distance from the origin of the 3D sound where it is inaudible
+*Must be preceded by '''+3D Sound:'''
+*Syntax: '''Integer'''
+====+Pitch:====
+*Specifies which pitch values the sound may be assigned
+*Optional, defaults to 1.0
+*This is a random range which specifies the possible pitch values the sound may be assigned
+*The actual effect of these values is very complicated to describe so you should simply test to check which values sound well. A value of 1.0 plays the sound without any changes.
+*Syntax: '''(Float)''' or '''(Float Float)''', example: ''(0.9 1.1)''. It is also valid to only specify one value if there should be no randomization.
