If you look at the materials.txt you see a few useless sounds such as: snow (no maps have snow you can walk on) computer (what would it sound like?) wood (I have not see one side of any brush in NS have anything resembling a wood texture on it) and tile (which has that waxed floor sound; which sounds cool, but no maps IIRC have it)
Uhm yeah... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I made a sound for my generator so your speaking the truth, I like this idea, now I need a day when im full of inspiration to create sound <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
[edit]meh, I give up on that sound making idea... This is more as you youself have already guessed (wrong that is) a topic for the suggestion forum <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Regardless, this is <i>mapping</i> forum, for <i>maps</i>, not sounds.
The file goes into your ..\ns\sounds\ directory, copy it over the existing one. None of the existing textures were changed at all, and i have tested this and it works fine.
*EDIT: Also, this cannot be map specific, it is general settings for the mod itself, meaning if you ammend it with any of your own textures, you'll have to distribute your own materials.txt also, or give directions as to how to ammend it with your custom textures. And finally, no, this is not the job of a mapper, i only did it so wRaven would shut the hell up.
wRaven, not everything to do with mapping is the mappers job. Some of it is for modellers, texture artists, sprite artists and the like, just because a lot of us do our own texture or modelling work does NOT mean that they are the rightful jobs of the mapper. Now please kindly remove your head from your arse.
Did I say ALL mappers did everything? No, I said a lot do. Mappers are the ones who also usually make materails text, or at least help with it, hence, the mapping forum.

Jesus H Christ..... *sigh* You really don't get it do you? We are <b>mappers</b>... we <b>map</b>. We are not texture artists, nor are we sprite artists, nor are we sound creators. No. We are <b>mappers</b>. We make <b>maps</b>. Yes. Maps. That is spelt <b>M-A-P-S</b>, which you may notice is significantly different to <b>M-A-T-E-R-I-A-L-S-.-T-X-T E-D-I-T-O-R-S</b>. We make maps? Do you understant that?
Technically the materials.txt is to be ammended by the <b>CREATOR OF THE TEXTURES OR WADS</b>, which you may also note that is not spelt <b>M-A-P-P-E-R-S</b>

Here you say you map, which of is course, obvious. I am alive! I have skin! Both are true, but have little to do with this conversation.

Here, you skillfully point out that maps, and a text document are different. That is true, but that does not mean they are not related. Like you said, a lot of you do textures, models, and other little things. While these also aren't releated to mapping, you do them anyway.

True. That is 100% correct. However, as you said, many mappers do textures. Ergo a mapper would be able to edit the .txt because they created the wad.

Great! No more walking over a green mass of alien bacteria and growth only to hear the metal that is no longer there.

I'd rather not argue with you, I do think you are a skilled mapper.
to wRaven: Think before you post since that last post is probably going to get flames and then you react to it then thats going to get flamed etc.... Get my drift? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Requests for sound or texture changes do not belong in the mapping forum, regardless of the habits of some mappers.
So don't tell me to make my infestation sound organic, tell Flayra.
