[CF-Devel] Sounds

[Michael Toennies]

Hi
Ah, yes. I have put in the sound 2 weeks ago and forget the spell flag.
As i rebuild it with new sounds, i skip it and then i wonder about
the sound numbers.

Btw: how many spells are in game at this moment?

Has anyone a idea how we can group then on sound side?
Except from fire/ice/lighting spells, which main groups
like summon, invoke etc. are from interest and need/should
have an identification sound?

I want give my friend a list for spell sounds we want.
