.snt properties - Homicide13 - 08-23-2011
I know what most of the .snt properties do (well they're mostly self explanitary) but I can't figure out a few of them, namely:
Random="<number>" (what does the number do? o.o)
and
Stream="<bool>"
Does anybody know how these two things affect the sound/the way it's played?
RE: .snt properties - Juby - 08-23-2011
Random="<number>" determines whether to play one of the sounds in <SOUNDS> at random. Should always be one.
Stream="<bool>" refers to the delivery method of the medium rather than to the medium itself. Best to keep at false. If true, it should play at the player, rather than an entity.

The rat critter noise has random set to .25 why?
also what does stream do? sure it changes the method, but how? what does that mean? how is it different than loop?

This implies more work for the hard drive but saves on RAM.

Makes sense. What about the random number value? O.o
