HEIGHT: How high above (or below) the ground the sound is heard from. If
you insert a lamp breaking sound, it shouldn'e be at ground level. I
like to put bees and gnats buzzing around head height (2.5 meters).
3D SOUNDS: All the grey boxes in the middle can only be edited by clicking
the "Edit..." box to the right of where it says "3D Sound" near the
bottom of the section.
PLAYBACK- Two blanks="number" to "number" sec.s
First blank: The time that the sound begins at
Second blank: The time that the sound ends at
Ex- If you want to use the gnats sound (3 seconds long), but just the
second half of it, then you put 1.5 in as the first number and 3 as the
second. That way, the sound starts 1.5 seconds through the recorded
sound and ends 3 seconds into the recorded sound.
VOLUME- The percentage of the recoded volume that this sound plays at. If
you put this at 0.50, then the sound will be 50 percent (half) of
it's original volume. You can't go above 1.00 which would be 100
percent.
MAX PLAYS- This is the maximum number of times the sound repeats itself.
If you set it at -1, then it goes on indefinately until you end the
mission.
USE 3D POSITION- whether or not the sound uses the Z-axis while in game.
When turned off, all sounds only work on a flat plane (X and Y).
LIMITED 3D PROPOGATION- sets a limit to how far the sound goes (????)

POSITION- X, Y, and Z coordinates for the sound point currently select-
ed. Change X and Y by clicking and dragging the music icon, and
change Z by changing the "Height"

A zone is any area on the map specified by a dashed square or
circle and a box at one of the corners. Zones are used to specify places
that can be used as enemy or friendly strongholds, the map's central area,
insertion zones, extraction zones, etc.. You can also assign sounds to
zones (editing).
To insert a zone, CTRL+click where you want a corner of it. If you
want it to be a point zone, than just leave it...but if you want it to be
the area of a circle or square, than click on one of the corners of the
little square and drag it to where you want the other corner to be.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++EDITING ZONES+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You also edit the zones in the specifics area. To edit a zone,
click on the little box in the corner of the square or center of the cir-
cle. It should turn yellow and add another square in the opposite corner,
or somewher on the circle.
You can change the size and location of these zones by clicking
and dragging on one of the little boxes. The dashed line is the entire
zone.
"Zone Properties"
NAME: Change the name by clicking on the name in the tab and renaming it
in the po-up window.
RECT: click if you want the zone to be rectangle in shape. It will change
on the command map.
RADIUS: click if you want the zone to be a circle. It will change shape on
the command map.
MAP:
POINT- check if you want the zone to be a single point on the map. You
can change the way the point faces by SHIFT+clicking on the command
map. This is useful later for scripting if you want to specify a
trigger event for a certain point. *more in ADVANCED*
BASE- check if you want the zone (must be rectangular or circular...not
point) to be a base. You can specify what these are used for by writ-
ing a script and planning out triggers. *more in ADVANCED*
CENTRAL AREA- Click if you want this zone to be the central area for the
mission. Don't know exactly what it's for, but i think it's for
scripting *more in ADVANCED*
RECON INSERTION- check this to make the zone an insertion zone when
playing this mission in the "Recon" mode in the custom mission section
RECON EXTRACTION- make this zone the extraction zone when playing this
mission in the "Recon" mode in the custom mission section
DROP-DOWN MENU- this is the type of room (sound wise) that the zone is
in. If it's a hallway, select hallway, and the sounds inside will sound
louder than if you had outside slected. Very helpfull and adds a lot
of realism...
MISSION:
ISERTION- check to make this zone the insertion zone when playing in the
"mission" mode
EXTRACTION- check to make this zone the extraction zone when playing in
the "mission" mode
