Making stuff go 'click' (DMute)

[Gambit37]

How do I make things go 'click' within the dungeon when I operate them? I've made a small dungeon with buttons, pads, keyholes, etc. and none of them make the click sound when they are used. Other than that, they do work correctly. Any ideas???

There was a hex code and there was one which made teleporters perform the electric buzz. It was mentioned on the DM board quite a bit ago. I can't remember off the top of my head but it wasn't a major change... If anyone knows them, please post it, thanks.

I've been fiddling with this for a while now, and still haven't found the solution. Has anybody worked it out yet?

OK, I found the solution to this one. For any activating object, whether it's a button, a keyhole, or a pad, the fifth byte controls the activation. For normal wall objects that activate something the fifth byte is 80 - change this to D0. For other objects, the activation byte is 8x - change this to Dx.

Click, click, click, click, click, click

Oops, that's a bit wrong. The generic byte change ONLY applies to wall objects, NOT pads. If you change this byte in pads, they WILL click but it will also change the pad activation type. I'll explore this some more.

Note - you can also use Cx in wall objects as well as Dx - not sure what the difference is though.

I can't investigate myself because I have no sound on
this PC, but from what you said for the 5th byte, it looks
like the click is caused by the 2nd bit:

80 : 1000 0000 No sound
D0 : 1101 0000 Click
C0 : 1100 0000 Click
_____^
__2nd bit

Looks like I was barking up the wrong tree a bit here... I hadn't noticed that the activation type was also changing when I changed the 5th byte.

I can only assume then that 'Type 2' stuff is the one that clicks, and other types are silent.
