Hey Everyone, I was wondering if it is possible to add a delay between playing sounds within a sound shader file?

 

Say I have a crystal sound with a couple different .oggs in a shader. Is it possible to add a delay in between playing those sounds without creating a trigger wait?

This should help

make a darkmod/sound/tehsaccade_voices.sndshd


random_sewer_sounds
{
editor_displayFolder tehsaccade_sounds

sound/voices/player_comment_1.ogg
sound/voices/player_comment_2.ogg
sound/voices/player_comment_3.ogg
sound/voices/player_comment_4.ogg
sound/voices/your_custom_sewer_sound_1.ogg
sound/voices/your_custom_sewer_sound_2.ogg
sound/voices/your_custom_sewer_sound_3.ogg
sound/voices/your_custom_sewer_sound_4.ogg
sound/ambient/environmental/any_tdm_sound_1.ogg
sound/ambient/environmental/any_tdm_sound_2.ogg
sound/ambient/environmental/any_tdm_sound_3.ogg
sound/ambient/environmental/any_tdm_sound_4.ogg
}

Add your sound files to
darkmod/sound/voices/
or unpack tdm archives to find location of existing .ogg files
(darkmod\tdm_sound_ambient01\sound\ambient\environmental)


One of listed sounds will be randomly picked every time speaker is triggered. If you want "looping", add to speaker
"wait" "15"
"random" "10"

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
