description	Audio guidance for SS14 SS14-ART-CORE work, including SoundSpecifier, sound collections, predicted audio, MIDI/soundfonts, resource placement, localization-adjacent feedback, and avoiding duplicated or hardcoded sound playback.

SS14 Audio

Rules

• Put new SS14-ART-CORE audio under Resources/Audio/_Art.
• Use SoundSpecifier; prefer SoundCollectionSpecifier for reusable sets.
• Do not hardcode sound paths in gameplay logic when a data field or prototype can configure them.
• Use SharedAudioSystem.PlayPredicted in predicted paths.
• Use server/PVS/local playback only when the local pattern and prediction requirements allow it.
• Avoid playing sounds from predicted update loops unless explicitly designed and guarded.

MIDI

If MIDI or soundfont behavior changes, read the local WizDen MIDI docs and current repo code first.
