If anyone wants the sound effects of the xian skull and the GIFTS (the "hey!" and "hello" from Avernum 3) Strangely I got them from Avernum 3, which means Jeff kept the sounds from Avernum 2 in Avernum 3 just didnt use them, Geneforge is also filled with sounds of the Avernum games as well (most of them in fact)
For the sounds click here

The 'hey' and 'hello' are definitely still in BoA, and unfortunately we can't use custom sounds.

These might be the other sounds:

113 – talking skull 1
114 – talking skull 2
115 – talking skull 3

Maybe Jeff will either add more sound effects later or allow for custom ones to be used. :)

I have a hunch the number of the sound effect is the number of it's position in the resource file. Other people might be able to add sounds to it and use a number to access that sound without having to modify the code.

Now all we need is for somebody to test it. :D

That probably would work, but it would mean changing the core game files, if not the application itself. Don't do that, please. It's very annoying.

Especially if we forget to take out your modified sound file when we play a new scenario.

Even if I intended to add anything to the game files, they wouldn't have to be removed later since their presence would not affect other scenarios. I was mainly stating that if Jeff wanted to add sounds later on (say from future games he makes) that it would be extremely easy and therefore more likely of it happening.

As it is I haven't the software to enable me to add anything even if I wanted to. :(

You do have ResEdit, don't you?

Don't forget - the way sounds are stored on a PC are different, so hacking the Mac sound files this way is a Mac-only solution.
