the big-town project was only a first idea...

7upMan joined to the "team" of my fanmission (from the screenshots...) to do some story and voice work there...

 

i or now we dont need help for ending this...but if somebody can help (because of no other project or to much freetime) it could be better or faster finished...

 

but thanks sh for the offer...but if u want to help here as well...

little trigger problem:

 

is it possible to trigger one sound of a list randomly? for example triggering randomly one barking sound of 5 implemented ?

 

Well yes, but it isn't a 'trigger' problem. It is a soundshader thingy.

 

You make a single soundshader with multiple audiofiles on it.

Then you make an ordinary speaker with that single soundshader as its sound. Then you trigger it.

 

The speaker should choose randomly the sound among the audiofiles listed.

 

The soundshader entry looks like this (taken from Transaction)

transaction_torturer_generic_torture
{
	description ""
minDistance 	1
maxDistance 	25
volume	9
	sound/sfx/transaction/transaction_torturer_generic1.ogg
	sound/sfx/transaction/transaction_torturer_generic2.ogg
	sound/sfx/transaction/transaction_torturer_generic3.ogg
	sound/sfx/transaction/transaction_torturer_generic4.ogg
}

Welp - I can't help with any teething problems - but what I can do is shower praise on these screenshots and say that I'm really looking forward to playing this ambitious looking FM, when it's ready. =-3

We did the story (FM and overarching both) together, with me fleshing out what we agreed on. Also, I've recorded some voice clips, which showed me what a huge effort NHAT was. Kudos to the mapper!

 

As for the ETA, there's a lot of work to do. Not only the maps are not finished, but the storytelling heavily relies on voice clips, and work (English and German both) has not even begun yet. You don't happen to consider yourself an undiscovered (German) voice artist talent? ^_^

Yes it does. Audacity is the way to go to un-screw even bad recordings, although I'm certainly no expert on audio recording. I tried noise removal yesterday, and it worked like a charm. I also have a headset mic (Speedlink Medusa 5.1), which is far from studio equipment.

and now the official title and missionscreen for the upcoming fm:

 

 

Looks super cool!

 

thanks sotha, the sound shader is finnished...where should i save it ? in the mapsfolder with the map name or in a new "sound" folder ? tested both but didnt work...

 

In your darkmod folder you should have folder

sound

 

Put your mapname.sndshd (the file that contains the soundshader definitions) in that folder.

 

When you restart DR, you should see the sound shader name ("transaction_torturer_generic_torture" in my example) in the speaker choose sound dialogue.

 

If you have some custom sound .ogg files, that the soundshader points to, you should put them in

darkmod/sound/sfx/mapname/

and refer to them in the soundshader file like seen in my example.

 

OR if you want to use TDM asset sounds, you could just find their location in the zip-files and point there.

Like this:

transaction_lady_where_could_he_be
{
	description ""
minDistance 	1
maxDistance 	25
volume	9
sound/voices/lady02/tdm_ai_lady_searching_no_evidence05.ogg
}

 

With that it should just work. You might need to go ingame and check that the min and maxdistances and the volume are okay.

 

I hope this helps!

got the next prob with the sound....

 

i created the soundshader like sotha described. in DR i see this one and when i choose it i also can see all implemented sounds ( i alsoo can play all of them). So the shader work how it should do.

 

But ingame there is only a short ping instead of the sounds.

 

EDIT: the console says that in line 7 of my shader is a unknown token...but i used same syntax like sotha described...and in the DRE it works ???

ok, after a new run all runs fine. changed in shader:

 

sound/...../xxx.

ogg

 

to

 

sound/..../xxx.ogg

 

normaly this doesnt make a difference !? is this a diff in the soundshader ?

Argh, it is this stupid forum code tag, broke the lines. The lines should be intact, of course. :wacko:

 

Most likely TDM saw first ordinary sound reference (should work without file suffix) and then it was thinking that WTF is 'ogg'?

ok, know the problem, but most programs read over the line break (fe C#). Is this in TDM, so C++, not the way to go?

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
