Hello, im new to the visual pinball world and just recently got some tables setup in vpx to play on desktop and im having fun! now i want to try reskining / modding the original Black Knight 1980 to have new images and sound, but leave the table as is. i learned how to do the images but for the audio i need some help. Since it effects the rom, from what i gather im guessing i have to make altsound and altmusic, and edit scripts on the table to point it at what sounds to use? are there any tutorials for this? i know a little about scripting from messing with modding doom wads and stuff but im just looking for the right info to get me started

@lastbornwolf
There are Rom sounds, and there are table sounds.
The table sounds are often simply .WAV files, stored inside the table and managed by internal sound manager. They are used in table script for all "physical" sounds/noises. Like ball rolling, ball hits at walls,metals,rubbers,...., drain sound, plunger sound and so on...
You can exchange these sounds with your own sounds of course.Keep the same name for it, or you need to change the names in script, too.
