A Nice Addition

Love the redone sounds, well done!

One note though, I had to do some digging to unearth this but it seems as of 2024-02-17 there is still a bug in the Minetest core that does not allow stereo sounds to be played at their proper position. I had to convert the ogg files from the 2 channel stereo to mono to fix this issue but after that it works great!

Thanks you! Would you by any chance be able to do a PR on github that woud replace the current ones with mono? Thanks for bringing the issue to attention! If you are not able to, I will try to find some time to convert them myself.

Yea I'm also realising something similar. In addition to the HUGE amount of warnings I get every day that have amounted to uh...

.minetest/debug.txt lines quarter of a freaking million

Every time I do something that makes this mod play a sound, one of these lines or similar may appear:

Is it a 'warning' because stereo can be buggy?

I think you can downmix audio files to mono using commands or GUI apps. I think you can use e.g. VLC for GUI. I heard of FFMPEG for CLI but if you're getting it, make sure it's not compiled with nonfree/nonlibre parts.
