Topic: Crickets; could a sound could be joined with a terrain?

Currently there are only sound of birds when placing trees on a map. I thought maybe it could be nice if we have also sound of crickets? This sound could be used when placing palm trees to indicate a more hot area. Here is the sound file. Currently i test this file and try to adjust the volume and make different files with other length or parts of silence.
What do you think of this?

The idea to spend some time on sound files comes to me during working on the terrain water lily... it would be great to hear a frog croaking Of course the sound has to be not too noisy.

Is it possible (or wishable) to have a sound file played when placing a type of terrain?

I couldn't find an animation table related to the terrains, but i think it would maybe too much sound if we join sounds with terrains.

I decided to join the frog sound with the 3 types of grass immovable. There is a branch available so everyone could test this. I believe they are not disturbing

You don't have to compile the branch, just use the datadir option like:

./widelands --datadir=/path/to/branch

For windows user it must be something like:

widelands --datadir=C:\path\to\branch

There are already cricket sounds at palm trees in the game and they can be quite annoying. I cannot make your soundfile working...

I love it if the terrain is silent (wasteland terrain), i don't like bird sounds neither.

I like the cricket sounds (Maybe because i added them to the game? )

I wonder if you've ever played a long match at a huge palm map (f. e. The old Nile or The Great Escape) with normal sound volume

I love it if the terrain is silent (wasteland terrain), i don't like bird sounds neither.

From what i remember you don't like any sounds

Not really I like many sounds in the game, i just don't like the annoying ones
