PICKED_POCKET and what else?

[Miloch]

Random ones, as far as I know. In other words, they fire semi-randomly.

No, that's not right. PICKED_POCKED plays as an existence sound, and others too.

 

It's one of those great things about this board: you ask a question and you don't know if it's going to be answered the same day, in a week or never. So unless you are prepared to delay your modding by a day, a week or forever, you have to test everything yourself, and often enough you find contradictions with the official wisdom. Hey, hey, hooray.

Well, phrasing your question explicitly and offering actual examples of what you're trying to accomplish helps. As for timing, what can I say. You're studying a dead language essentially (IE modding) and the oldtimers who might help aren't around very often. RL and all that... I'm lucky to get around here once a month.

 

What I can tell you without further details is that EXISTANCE (sp. - should be EXISTENCE) sounds overlap with specific-purpose sounds as you see, and there might be an actual bug here too, maybe one Avenger_teambg could confirm (if anyone could... I might've even asked him about it at one point). What Avenger linked shows that HIDDEN_IN_SHADOWS, SET_A_TRAP etc. overlap with the same numbered slots. I'm pretty sure PICKED_POCKET does too. I'm also pretty sure there's another (potentially buggy) overlap with a slot that's not even close. One fat merchant in Athkatla kept randomly firing such a line I eventually just deleted, because I couldn't figure out any other way to get around it (pre-EE).
