 Its the Distress Call mod by Defiant, It comes with either Km or BCS:TNG, the one that actually brings ships in to help you. My version doesnt play any sounds at the mo, was wanting to add a sound which is in wav format

thanks

If so post the script and the sound and I'll do it in 2 mins lol

I do need the sound file, or at least it's full filename, extension and path info. I have to 'tell' the script which sound to play, where to find it!

  Thanks again for your help guys!

 This is the path of the file C:\Program Files\Activision\BridgeCommander\sfx

and i have included the file sound file as a .pyc, i changed the extension with irfanview. It plays fine if you just change it to wav again by renaming the file lol

 Thanks again everyone for you help   :D
