Re: SCENARIOS!
 

NEVER heard the "null" sound during scenario creation tests.
ONLY that there seemed to no sound when the mini-drones advanced (Maybe because they were advancing hex-by-hex?) but normal drone sound (i.e. 19) when they fled (multiple hexes).

Re: SCENARIOS!
 

The only way to know what you are hearing is for you to test every sound then tell me which it is because what I am hearing when I hear anything is the normal drone sound FX

Start with Drone19.WAV..... is that what you hear ?
Next try Null.WAV.. is that it ?

Null certainly fits the description of what the two of you were telling me you heard

If it's neither of those then start and the beginning and run every effect until you find the one you hear and then we can trace it back in the code

If I advance a mini drone I hear Drone19.WAV

Re: SCENARIOS!
 

Go to Game Data / Sounds and click on Null.WAV and tell me if that is the "zap laser gun sound" you are hearing

Re: SCENARIOS!
 

Null.WAV is definitely the the laser gun.
NEVER heard it during my scenario building/testing.

Again ... the only oddity I'm commenting on is a lack of movement sound when the mini-drones advance. Presumably hex-by-hex. Apparently a one hex advance isn't triggering the movement sound to play. Not a big deal, but perhaps worth noting.

Re: SCENARIOS!
 

Yes, that is the sound I heard.

Re: SCENARIOS!
 

I check the INI file and listed the Drone sounds as the Drone19 sounds and the Sound folder has that file in there and it plays when I click one it.

Re: SCENARIOS!
 

OK. We have established that we have a mystery to be aware of

I needed to know for sure you were hearing what I thought you were hearing but to add to the joy Suhiir built it and has never heard it and was commenting that the drone sound was not being heard in an advance. You say you heard NULL when a drone retreated. I have seen one(1) drone survive ground fire and retreat. On that one occasion what I heard was the drone sound FX, not Null

If anyone else hears NULL.WAV while using a light drone let us know and if you can get a save game that repeats it all the better

Re: SCENARIOS!
 

If I get it again, I will save it as separate save and forward it on.

Also, I am thrilled to report a P47 took out one of the Alien super tanks. So crazy Null Sound FX or not, that was a great moment in this insane battle. Plus, both P47s managed not to get hit by Stinger SAMs. Good times.

Re: SCENARIOS!
 

There are times with this game that stick with you. I have clear and vivid memories of having my A$$ handed to me in chunks by the AI in an SP1 campaign as the Germans. My carefully built-up core was absolutely savaged by " THE AI AIRSTRIKE FROM HELL" in a January 1945 battle. I have never seen such a concentration of AI air do that much damage before or since and that happened before SP2 was released so we are reaching way back

Re: SCENARIOS!
 

Seen the AI do things smart before with heliborne infantry in a generated battle; it actually skirted the main fighting and hit my rear, catching me off guard; I didn't know it had the force. After that, I was a bit more careful of the AI, which was SP2. This game system has always been a big hit with me, and the stuff you and Andy have done has made it a lot better.

Always fun moments in this game, and sometimes frustration as well. Looking forward to more.
