I'm working on the Star Wars: Nova plugin. At the moment, I am inserting the sounds in Novatools (sorry if this means that Ambrosia people can't help me). However, whenever I try to put a sound in a weap resource, it doesn't "stick". I'll type in the RID, say 138, and close the weap editor window. Next time I open it, it has reverted to -1. The sounds won't play in Nova either. I've tried saving at every pount - just after typing it in, etc.

The weirdest part is that Somehow ID 208 works, but none of the other weaps do. The sounds work great otherwise - hyperspace sounds, etc. are fine.

Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong here?

Thanks a lot.

Reading the Bible would have given the answer.
look:

Sound          Which sound to play when the weapon fires
               -1               Silent but deadly
                0-63            Play this sound (snd ID 200-263)

edit: In Novatool, you must write the full ID (200-263)

Thanks...I just noticed that on going through the bible again. Argh....

Well, at least now the weapons are working. But his might bring up another problem - I have more than 64 weapon sounds....

Thanks anyway.

Hmmm. I have to wonder if the 64 weap sound limits is a hold over from EVC/O. Alot of the limits they mention deep into the bible are for EVO, not EVN.
