Long story short, ezQuake 2.1 will not check megahealth pickup sound.

ezQuake 2.2, on the other, will check it. So far following sounds pass the check:
- original vanilla megahealth pickup sound
- sound the us community seems to use widely
- sound that some members of Russian community might be using (same as the previous one, just resampled to 11 kHz)

Suggest here other megahealth pickup sounds that should be allowed. We will not allow a sound only because you want it allowed. More people should be already using that sound and you should be able to explain why (was it included in some public alternative pack?)

Provide a link to such sounds. Please try not to use public upload services where one has to type captcha and wait for minutes to download such a small file.

this is going to be totally newb but where does this file go so i can use it..

<quakedir>\id1\sound\items

What will the client reply if one of the us/ru files are used?

Nothing, only ezQuake 2.1 beta 1 will report modified r_item2.wav. But all other versions (including those before beta and after beta 2.1) will not report anything. As far as I know FTEQW won't report anything as it doesn't check the sounds anyhow, but ensures the length.

Hmm, so what you are saying is that both ezQuake and FTE allows players to use modified sounds... and it's been like that for ages?

this topic is only about megahealth sound

id1/sound/items doesnt work for me do i need to rename the file to something ??

qw/sound/items

Remove the _us or _ru from filename.

Md5 of r_item2_us.wav = b7a3649c715ef35cd2e88ecc01e91194
Md5 of r_item2_ru.wav = 052fc8e7749947ef51d340c96f44ddd3
Md5 of %quakeroot%\qw\SOUND\ITEMS\R_ITEM2.WAV = 91ec734af4474a1bef03a088bef21202

Mine is almost the same as r_item2_ru.wav .
