Sir, your EAX insults my EARs

[7upMan]

LEGION is/was the resident TDM guru for EAX-enhanced FMs, but he is busy with RL and I haven't heard back form him for a while. I have, however, occasional contact with his girlfriend on Facebook. Next time I'll talk to her, I'll ask her to ask him to post a guide on how to enable EAX. I remember that he said that it's fairly straight forward.

there might even be a wiki entry on the subject -

will try this inside my Elixir map...

I purchased a Creative USB Live external kit hoping for the same thing. Horribly disapointed. After hearing the Thief devs wax nostalgic about Aureal3D and how he still has a win95 system with 3D headphones and an Aureal3D card and Thief 1 on it, and how amazing it sounds I want one now. EAX is fail these days, it was never that good.

Does Thief 1/2 have an amount of reverb baked into the original samples? I first played both with a Soundblaster EAX card and have recently started replying them with an Edirol UA-25 and noticed that there is still noticeable reverb going on.

 

If so, would TDM consider following this example? This might go someway into increasing immersion whilst playing.

At least Thief 1 had as far as I remember!

If I remember correctly there was choice of "size" and "echo" (like carpet/stone tiles) for particular room zone.

 

I thought I will try TDM reverb system, but it look like I need to crawl through this settings for every_single_room. In T3 editor at least rooms were separated automaticly (each one with different colour in 3d view), so I had just to pick them from list and assign ambient sound.

 

Is there a chance that devs will take a look at simplifying reverb options in TDM?

I know these were options in Dromed but I thought they only had an effect with EAX cards? Or have I totally missed the point in all this?

 

Either way, both original games still sounds absolutely terrific on my decent modern, but non-EAX card. Is it possible for TDM to emulate that?

 

 

EDIT

P.S - I didn't expect anyone to respond to this as it doesn't appear bumped in 'recent threads'. Not sure why that is...

Serpentine was talking about a way to simulate EAX in TDM but he hasn't been around much lately.
