 type { event_type }
       event modifiers
         folder { base path }

           {sample name} ...
         folder { base path , in case files have different location}
           {sample name}     modifiers (any of probability, volume etc)

"event_type" is type of event as declare in descr_event_enums.txt. This is also same name id as using by descr_event_image.txt and name of files in eventpics subfolders in UI folder.

"arrived" event is always coming as subcategory which pair with event without it (as you see above). Not all events needed it but event which have it would have alternate sound which trigger when event is done by third party and reported to player as its own event, not as another event which player is recipient of that action.

{sample name} = name of sound sample file (if extension is .wav, extension could be omitted)
