| - | The sounds need to be<nowiki> *</nowiki>.ogg files, so if you got the files that are<nowiki> *</nowiki>.mp3 or<nowiki> *</nowiki>.wav or anything else, use Audacity or Sony Vegas to convert them to<nowiki> *</nowiki>.ogg files (<nowiki>*</nowiki> is the sound file.). | + | The sounds need to be in **.ogg ** format, If your soundfiles are formatted as **.MP3**, **.WAV** or anything else, you may use one of the said above programs to convert your soundfile of choice to an **//.// ogg** file format. |
| - | For my example, my file is called tutorial.ogg | + | For my example, my script file is called **tutorial.txt**, and the sound is **door.ogg**. |

| - | Maybe your asking, what the hell is all this? I will explain | + | <**SOUNDENTITY** > is the start of the sound file to know what it will play, it can only have one. (Like the extra_english file you have normally in your Custom Story :)) |

| + | <**Sound File** =" //YourFileName//.ogg" /> is the sound file it will play, if you add multiple sound files, it will play the sounds randomly. | ||
| - | <SOUNDS> is the sound what it will play | + | <**PROPERTIES** > Are all the options you may use to decide how the sound will behave in-game, like **MinDistance** is what distance you have to be in to hear it, since 1 is the players exact size, You will hear the sound perfectly if you stand on it. Beyond that, you will be able to hear the sound until the distance specified in **MaxDistance**, I don't know exactly but I think that "1" distance is a meter, excuse me if i'm wrong :). (Probably an inch, a person 1 meter in width? **Needs to be confirmed**) |
| - | + | Well thats it! You now created your very own sound! Use it with PlaySoundAtEntity(syntax) in your custom level-script; (check [[http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/amnesia/script_functions|Engine scripts]] to know what syntax to use) | |

Well ; [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/262/501/be7.gif|NOPE]]. Music has only two "layers" (Priorities). 0 and 1. I.E: only**one can play at once.** |
| - | Now maybe your thinking that you could use this like a sound effect? Well no, it will override all musics that are in. So all musics will be gone. | + | If 1 **is //__not__ // specified**, track 0 will play. If 1**//__is__ // specified**, ONLY "1" will play.\\ |
| + | (You can use that to suddenly or smoothly fade-stop a track in it's place, initiate a different track for your scene, and than resume the previous track. Pretty much what happens when a grunt chases you; only that is automatic!) | ||
