Sound Support
The server sends the game a list of primary and secondary sound tags for certain events. The primary
tags
are those preferred by the current modpack. The game does not need to have these sounds. The secondary
tags should refer to standard sounds that all installations of Freeciv21 should have.
Tags are used to give an easy way to change sounds. A specfile is used to indicate which tags refer to which sound files. A change of spec file, given as an option at startup, will change sounds. For example:
$ freeciv21-client --Sound mysounds.soundspec
will read sound files from mysounds.soundspec
. You will need to download or copy or link those sounds
into whichever directory is mentioned in this file first, or edit it to refer to the right files. All
references are by default relative to the data/
directory. Soundpacks can be downloaded from the
Freeciv21 modpack installer.
