the EAX reverb on the info_location objects in my map were set to default, because EAX on my sound card causes the game to pause for 4 seconds everytime you go into a new sound area, so I didn't bother to set them.

 

the pauses are causes by the sounds reloading at every sound area change, even though I had it set up to load all sounds at start.

I´m actually playing the Christmas Contest Missions and as I read the threats no one seems to have issues with too loud music but me! Only demagogue confirmed on his mission.

But I haven´t had the footsteps problem. Likely because I´m now always ghosting and is there a guard that could be in the way I take him out. (and because I´m so good it never ends in them searching for me, so no sound-bugs can be triggered like the ones I mentioned in the posts before)

 

What about my method in the Crown of Penitence? Did someone tried it? It´s really only about 5 minutes!

I never got any pauses between rooms, that actually sounds promising. I should clarify that i did get the reverb effects to work in a one room level (and the footsteps and guard chat sounded amazing), but i couldn't get it to work in anything else and got seriously burned out in the process of trying to make it work. But because it worked in one room, it seems the pipeline to the EAX card is not broken and therefore might be caused by changes in the way DR compiles maps?

LEGION: Have you tried upgrading your sound card drivers?

 

I've never been terribly impressed with Realtek (back when I did tech support, we had some work PCs with embedded Realtek HD chips, and they were kinda dodgy). You might have better luck with a better soundcard.

 

After much sound testing in 1.0, I came to believe that TDM's sound propagation code somehow hinders the surround sound effect, since in Doom, i can pinpoint a needle dropping, where as in TDM, a sound is often heard the same way while rotating around a large number of degree. In addition, it often snaps to a whole new position which to my ears seems like going from stereo to mono.

 

TDM's sound code is identical to D3's, since it's in the closed-source bit. Soundprop only works for AI, and does not affect what you hear.

 

It might be a problem with how sounds are set up in TDM maps.

Oops, sorry, I misread.

      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?
