Sound stereo channel strange effect

[Fidcal]

I'm setting up a couple of slow doors with snd_move but it's noticeable with both that while opening if I stand in the middle I hear the sound from far left or right. If I make a tiny step left or right then the sound leaps across to the other speaker. There is no in-between. Never heard this effect before. These are my shaders...

I think it's kinda normal for doors. Just type

 

s_drawspeakers 1

 

and you will see where the sound is generated. It is also an issue when you open a chest or a locker while standing/crouching near to it. It depends on where you stand relative to the sound generating object, so I guess it can only be fixed in the code that makes doors work in the first place.

 

btw: mindistance 7 and max 40 looks like some BIG stone door to me. . .

. . .mmh. shakes indicates the same. I don't think you need the unclamped keyword there.

 

Maybe -- I didn't test it -- if you just use a mover instead of a door?

What does unclamped actually do? iddevnet tells me it means 'don't clamp'

 

 

Anyways, its basically just because my doors are very wide that I'm noticing what is always there for all doors? Maybe I should just trigger a speaker.

No need to stray so far -- it's in our wiki:

http://modetwo.net/d...ing_Up_Speakers

see "volume" and "unclamped".

Haven't seen your doors -- but I think so.
