Type

This page is about the usage of Type= in relation to sound-files; for the use on Superweapons, see Types.

eva(md).ini

Flag:	Type
File(s):	eva(md).ini
Values:	Whitespace-separated list of strings. (Limited to: hardcoded values, see below)
Default:	STANDARD
Applicable to:	VoxTypes

In eva(md).ini, this flag, if present, is only set to QUEUE. There are, however, hundreds of sections omitting it, suggesting there's a default value. Whether this is QUEUE or something else is not known. If this flag is present and set to QUEUE, the voice in it's section will be played after the currently playing voices have finished (the alternative being that it gets ignored).

Note that this questions the use of the alleged QUEUE and QUEUE_INTERRUPT values of Priority. What would you need a priority of QUEUE for, if the type tells the game to queue the sound anyway?

Special values

Template:NeedTesting All of these are case-insensitive. More information is needed to determine their exact effects.

• QUEUE
• STANDARD
• INTERRUPT
• QUEUED_INTERRUPT
