How would I add sounds to my terrain?

[lukeprtr 10]

How would I add sounds to the map? I have played maps like Bornholm and Lingor and they play ambient sounds like birds chirping and such.

[Alucard_Voss 1]

It's seems it is done by Addon itself like JSRS etc. if someone is smarter then me, correct me

Taviana also had doors slamming around houses and branches snapping in the forests, I'd be intrested in this also.

@ Richie The door slamming are defined in the model.

Do add custom sound to your Map check this :

the customsound on a Map get defined in the config, something like this:

class EnvSounds: CfgEnvSounds
