I have the .snd... now what?

allright, i made the .snd file but i have no idea how to add it into nova, can someone help me?

OK, this is actually a little more difficult that one would expect at first. I'm going to operate under the assumption that the sound file is a weapon sound effect or some such (basically not the intro music).

First get some recording equipment, which you obviously have done. Then, take the recorded sound and see if your program will allow you to save or export it as a "System7 Sound" (.sfil) file. To my knowledge, this is literally the only format that will work. If your sound software can't save int his format, I know that Sound Studio can, as should some decent freeware (although I don't personally know of any) so browse around. Once you've saved the sound as a .sfil, open the file you just created using ResEdit. You should see your sound effect with a randomly generated ID#. Copy it, paste into your plugin, and you're set.

I don't think it matters if you have the Nova templates for ResEdit or not. When you open the plug, the data will look all funky, but just don't do anything except for paste the sound and you should be fine.

Mission Computer will open the sound file too.

Check out the audio guide from the link in my sig for detailed information on sounds.

I'm pretty sure system 7 sound support was dropped in version 3.

allright, I added the sound file (not that you were helping), but now i cant make my lazer shoot a sound, not even one that comes with nova.

Have you set the sound of the weapon to 0 - 63?

yes i have, still no progress

Ok, try this. Set the sound's ID to be 263. Then set the weapon to look for sound 63. If 63 is taken, use a not-taken number. Also, check to see if you have the mute on.

the mute?

Mute, as in System Preferences -> No Sound.

as in nova? if so then no...

Assuming that your speakers aren't muted and you can hear everything besides the weapon you're working on, does it work?

yes, nova works, I tried to change another weapon to the sound that i want and now it wont work any sounds for that weapon
