It's the game's master sound mixer. It defines all sounds that can possibly be used in game (whether sound is effect, hydro sound, etc.). You have to define a new sound here or you will not hear it in game.

So if your adding sounds like lets say depth charge shake which has a sdl and thmesen sound pack sdl. Which one should be installed first. Do they over write each other. Im not sure how jsgme functions when theres mulitple sdl files over 3 or 4 different sound mods?

when JSGME 'installs' a mod it overwrites all files in conflict. So the last mod that modified a file 'wins'. You have to manually edit the sdl file to add entries from other mods (or use my SDL editor app)

You can use S3D to edit .sdl files (and a whole lot more):

it's available freely in the SH5 mods forum: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...96&postcount=1

It works with SH 3/4/5 .sdl files

I don't use S3D so don't even ask me about it
