[3.72#1 Windows 10 Steam] Dog names causing sound effects?

[Bert Preast]

I have a dog I called SNAPPER, and when I interact with him I get the twig snapping sound effect you get when you fail to sneak.

I have a dog I called GRUNT, and when I interact with him I get the wild boar grunting sound effect.

I am going to call my next dog FARTER, just to see what happens.

I think I may be losing my grip on reality...  becoming Unreal, if you will.

Note:  Dog names are in capitals in the game as that's how I roll, easier to see them in the combat text logs.

 This is old 'magic' (which used to work also) where words (that indicate some sounds) used as names cause URW to to spark the sound.

 Been a year or more since I've seen these

It is a rather endearing bug

And for that reason it's kind of left in place as a legacy easter egg thingie.
Could be fixed/changed easily, but we (and also community) has been hesitatant about that

Maybe now it's time to let it go...

It does get irritating after a while, though.

Is there a list of the names that give sound effects?

Please do not! It's such a nice "feature" for the magic mod, the little ritual sound effect that triggers with appropriately named recipes...

No list available, but it's based on the ancient mechanic when the sounds were played based on what was displayed as a message. They were triggered by these certain keywords.

I guess we won't invest time to deliberately get rid them,
but they are prone to disappear along the way as the code evolves and we're not making effort to deliberately save them either.
