Sounds like a good idea, although naming the rooms by size makes more sense to me. Maybe a guy such as Dario D. would be willing to put some time into making accurate presets. On his website he wrote: "I'm part of a small crowd that believes that great sound in games/movies can be more powerful than the best visuals". (I pretty much agree).

 

Agree, too, the sound was the most stunning experience in Thief 1 (yes, I had EAX :) Would you please ask him what he thinks?

I can't get it to work after changing some settings. I'm not sure what i did, but im getting 2 different errors now. I'd like to make sure it works in one of the regular maps with mulitple portals and info_locations, but that might take awhile for me. If you have any spare time, its pretty easy to set up and test. You might also have an easier time troubleshooting with your programmer perspective. If your busy, maybe someone else can help test this out? Otherwise i'll simply have to get to it when i get to it.

Apart from having almost no time, :( and no machine to run TDM on, :( the last time I tried I couldn't get it to work at all...

Im completely stuck with the same error anytime i try to load a map with .efx references other than the walk.map. Its:

 

"Error: eax testmap.efx, line 1: expected "Version" but found '{'.

 

.efx files start with "Version 1" at the top of the file. Whatever is happening here, i can't seem to get around it. I think im going to post in the public forum in case anyone wants to investigate it.

I can't look for the sound name now, but was thinking about it so I figured it would be good to document...

 

So hum sound on the 'grill light' is VERY loud. Completely overpowers everything around it. Playing MadMountain I found it unbearable to crouch under one of the lights.

It MAY be a machine sound, so the volume might be good, maybe we just need a quieter buzz for this lamp.

 

Other lamp buzzes are pretty loud too considering they are just lamps.

--------

 

And placing a 'bell ring' (we have 2) are pretty quiet. I understand they are distant up in a tower, but maybe we need a loud one for being closer, or even in the tower with the bell.

(I think) the sounds were already quitened for 1.03 by Sneaksie,although it wasn't tracked:

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      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!
