In like snow grove, when you fire the pistol it has the metalic sound to it, but the pistol sound it uses is the default halo 1 pistol firing. So I'm wondering. What did they do to make it have that metalic sound to it?

they got the sound into an MP3 format, (or wav, i dunno) and edited in Acid Music Studio. Or Acid Pro. and put the default sound into the pallet and the metallic sound aswell. then rendered it into a new sound. and Compile.

not sure if they did it that way, but that is how i would to get the same achievement.

I've actually got all the sounds from snow grove, and its not there.

ok well they could of done it the other way that i know of. Obviously they compiled the metallic sound. and for their firing effect they added 2 sound_loopings.
1. the default halo sound.
2. the metallic sound.

so every time that you fired to sounds were played at the same time.
(if you o into small details they are actually played with a split second difference, bt you dont notice it ingame.)

They used the "eject.sound" from the tags file. Its in the same location as the "fire.sound" for the pistol.

Thanks. Now I just gotto mess around with the Pistol firing stuff, to figure out how to make it play at the same time.

In the fire bullet effect for the pistol, duplicate the fire.sound and reference 1 to the eject.sound

I lol'd at that.

But any one on topic. I do it like that
