Tags: °SS2 °tutorialA categorization list of SS2 ambient sounds in Microsoft Excel format by Doc4.

I created this list of sounds to make it easier to see what all the amazing ambient sounds were in System Shock 2, to categorize them, and give a description to each of them. Basically, I listened to 243 ambient sounds so you don't have to.

Usage

1) Sort the XLS file an darn way you want to help find the sounds you want (mainly by type)
 OR do a search for a keyword you have seen (alien, airy, warble)
 OR just skim through looking for something you want

2) Use the command "play_schema ###" where ### is the name of the schema to hear it. "halt_schemas" stops all the playing sounds.

3) In ShockEd, add a "Trap - Ambient Sound Trap" to where you want the sound to be heard. Go to its properties and add an "A - Ambienthacked". Enter the radius for the sound (in feet), type the name where it says "Schema" and your done. If you want the sound to be ever present (good for rumbles) then add the Environment flag (this will make it once the raidus is entered the sound will start and will not stop ever unless another environment sound is triggered).

4) And dont forget to add a "room" and rebuild the room database for the sounds to be heard.
