Modern | + | Note that the first table lists only the keys supported by the original [[Engines|engine]] and [[Map_compiling|compile tools]]. Modern compile tools and engines very frequently use keys stored in the worldspawn entity to do things the original tools and engines did not allow. Since the supported keys differ between different tools and engines, some of the most common keys are listed in a separate table below. Non-standard keys are usually prefixed with an underscore, which causes engines that do not support them to ignore them. |

For example [[QuakeSpasm]] will try to load the file ''music/track02.ogg'' if ''sounds:2'' is specified. The exact location of the file lookup as well as the audio formats supported depend on the engine. Most commonly supported is Ogg Vorbis. | |
