Several types of music and sounds are played in Stars! Supernova: ambient or background music, race anthems that play briefly during diplomatic relations or during a battle with another race, scenario themes that play at the start of each turn, random event sound flags, and different user interface noises. You can provide your own music and sound for all of these circumstances.
You'll be also able to tie music and sounds to types of events. Sounds can include voice: for example, you may want an event to trigger a verbal comment instead of music or another sound.
Note. Sound and music can also be turned off separately from within the game.
The maximum allowable file size for a theme is 100k, regardless of format. Players hear each other's themes when they read mail from the other player, watch a battle involving the other player and so on. In multiplayer games, themes are transferred automatically to all players once at the start of the game.
Scenario authors can also supply a short theme that each player hears at the beginning of the game and at other times, off and on throughout the game. Scenario themes are also limited to a maximum size of 100k.
It will also be possible to replace any of the built-in music tracks and sound effects on your own machine with your own files in any of the above listed formats. Instructions for replacing the built-in sounds and music will be included with the game.
