Question - Custom Sound

[Rare Spawn]

Hello all,

I play with EQ sound volume off, but want some custom .wav or mp3 files to be played for some events. This means EQ audio triggers, and the EQ /vplay features won't work for because EQ sound is turned down. There used to be some old plugins called MQ2sound and MQ2customsound that have been deprecated. What replaced them? I am needing a simple command I can use in all other scripts and plugins that support a custom command to be executed. I know mq2posse can play a custom sound when a pc is detected nearby, and mqtargets can play sounds for specific spawns. It looks like spawnmaster can trigger a custom mp3 to play via the EQ client. What can I use to play a sound (other than /beep) from a home made macro?
Thanks

You can play any sound in the Everquest sounds directory using /beep sounds/filename. So /beep sounds/achievement will play the achievement notification. Plays at your PC sound level, ignoring the in-game volume settings.

That is awesome, thank you! I took the liberty of updating the wiki for /beep with this hidden gem. https://www.redguides.com/docs/projects/macroquest/reference/commands/beep/
