Zoners with sound

[geekbot]

When I get a zoner with sound, my computer stops to think about it. During that split second, keystrokes don't do anything.

Is there a way to force those sounds into memory? I only see forcing graphics into memory in the advanced options. Or do I have to delete all the wavs or whatever they are?

It'd be nice if I could still hear the laggout scream when I cap..but I've heard that in zoners too.

BTW, what's the difference b/t sound=0 and music=0?

.?sound controls game sounds and .?music controls the victory music that is used in warzone %100.

I think most advert sounds besides the default one are pretty rare. If you want, just go into the sounds directory and delete that one. I'm not sure which file it is but I'm sure it's one of the first ones. What I don't understand is this: don't you get the lag spells when the scream sound plays when a player lags out?

The difference between sound/music is this. Sound effects are everything that you can hear, other than the really annoying/crappy "techno" bit that plays in the countdown of Warzone, etc. That's considered "music". I usually do ?music=0 or 1 if I play warzone.

I don't always get that second of lag, just when my computer feels like it (like when I'm headed towards a burst). If someone lags out and I'm cap, I have bigger things to worry about than the second of lag. I'd rather keep the lag and know they're gone.

Maybe running fewer programs might help. You'd think a gig of RAM would be enough though.

I renamed almost all of them...

FYI:

Renaming to .wav lets you play them.
