[CF-Devel] maps - media arch

[Michael Toennies]

No, the media cmd should be some special, different from normal sounds.
Also ambient sounds are different used, sound sources too.

Voice action is really easy to implement - just get a microphone, record
some and
voila! If we have the cmd, i can ask a friend to make some real cool speech
effects.
He has some professional equipment and can speaks good english, so he can
make some
fancy things.

Also, this can be easily implemented with scripts then - thing about maps
you assign a media
tag and then you show a big 120x120 drawn pixel map when you examine the
map.

Please lets insert this cmd YET because i just have the code of the client
in the hand and we
can insert it without real work.

When this stuff is insert, map makers will use it.
Well, some speech or sound effects should be no problem.

       Arguably, the media command should be used for all sounds.

       My only thought is that it won't get used that much (except for perhaps

       So I guess in summary: IMO, yes, this is a cool feature.  I just
