On brand new effects, i dont really know much beside modifying the existing ones to my liking. On sounds i think your "sound" is not linked to your sound file. Example:
On shields. Look at st_equip.ini in equipment folder:
[ShieldGenerator
nickname = npc_shield01_mark01
ids_name = 263759
...
shield_collapse_sound = shield_offline
shield_rebuilt_sound = shield_rebuilt
...
these sounds you will find here: audio/sounds.ini:
...
[Sound
nickname = shield_rebuilt
file = audio\sounds\equipment\shield_rebuilt.wav
attenuation = -2
range = 50, 450
crv_pitch = 5
[Sound
nickname = shield_offline
file = audio\sounds\equipment\shield_offline.wav
attenuation = -4
range = 50, 500
crv_pitch = 5
...
And they point to existing sound files in audio\sounds\equipment directory.
Almost the same with weapons, in weapon_equip.ini you find:
[Munition
nickname = fc_c_gun01_mark05_ammo
...
one_shot_sound = fire_neutron5
...
This also refers to audio/sounds.ini:
...
[Sound
nickname = fire_neutron5
file = audio\sounds\weapons\fire_neutron5.wav
range = 60, 500
crv_pitch = 9
attenuation = -7
....
And this also links you to an existing sound file.
Beware what your sound format is, as far as i remember there are sounds in the game known as lame mp3, and they also have WAV as extension. The range = 60, 500 means in what ranges the sound will quieter and louder as i know. But surely we got something for this in the tutorials section.
Every sound ingame is referred this or similar way, just look closely. When i search for any data in the game i do this: I got the sdk extracted in a different folder and i search in this, which file contains the text or string i need. This way you will find every possible way the game uses the thing i need to know more about.
Hope i helped.
