I'm also known as "Tycho" on Strategycore forums. I've been learning about disassembly and coding since December of 2011. I guess I started learning disassembly to mod the tank/cannon into a chaingun. I started playing with DOSbox but switched to the CE version and began focusing on its sound problems. Lately, I have been tinkering with Seb's UFOloader and added those fixes of my own. I've also been trying to rearrange Seb's INI file to make it less overwhelming to new users.
Table of Battlescape sound calls
The following is a list of how most events in TACTICAL generate sounds. This data is scattered throughout the executable in various data arrays. First an event number is passed to the sound subroutine. The program then compares the event with its corresponding entry in another section to determine how to play that sound. 06 is the standard method. 01 plays the sound uninterrupted by other sounds.
Play CAT Evt# Setting reference Description 00 00 -- Normal bipedal movement. Routine refers to tileset and alternates between 1 and 2. 01 01 0E normal tank move 02 01 00 snakeman move 03 02 -- 04 01 0F Flying unit move 05 01 10 Celatid move 06 01 2F Silacoid move 07 02 -- 08 02 -- 09 02 -- 0A 01 28 hovertank/cyberdisk move 0B 06 04 rifle/pistol shoot 0C 06 16 bullet hit 0D 03 14 sliding door opens.
