First. Thank you for getting this Sound Mod Thread created!

I understand everything you have replied.

However, I would like to understand WHY Intro and Strikeout were designed into the game. I would prefer to have sounds that fire. Just make them appropriate rather than delete.

Strikeout to me has great opportunity. Think Cleveland Indians, strike_three1.ogg plays to call the strike out. Then the strikeout.ogg plays the super mario sound to rub it in their face. My issue is that strikeout.ogg also seems to play for key double plays?

For intro.ogg I may change it to a Tiger roar for Comerica Park.

Bottom Line, a huge opportunity is to make a strike_three1.ogg for HOME TEAM and a strike_three1.ogg for VISITORS to create a home field advantage.

I play Detroit Tigers, so I compensate the horn1.ogg with Ecstatic Home Run Calls from Dan Dickerson (radio pbp guy) and for road games (Think Tigers at Target Field) I make the horn 1 for Target field be a subdued hr call by Dickerson as he would be disappointed that the Twins hit a dinger of a Tiger Pitcher.

Hope that makes sense. Thanks again for driving this thread!
