Info_location: leak problem

[Bikerdude]

I've got two leafs setup, with one VP, info_location_separator and info_location speaker in each each leaf.

• the VP is sealing correctly and the edges are flush with the hole its sealing.
  
• the info_location_separator is correctly positioned
  

If there is no leak what would cause the info_location speaker from one leak to play in the other..?

if there's a leak wouldn't there be a pointfile?

 

did you set up the location_settings entity?

 

edit: what exactly do you want to achieve?

 

edit2: did you check in-game if the visportal is working? if so there should be no leak and you may have set up something wrong.

Read my post, I don't have a leak. Basically info_location speakers are another way of having ambient world speakers speakers. A simple example is you have an outside info_location and an inside info_location, then maybe you have a sewers info_location and so on.

 

You then place an info_location_separator on VP's where you want the zones to start/stop, this configuration dosent work if 1. you have an actual leak between zones or 2. you forget to place an info_location_separator on all of the VP between the zones.

 

Anyway I have managed to fix this is rather bizzarly, by having two VPs & accompaning info_location_separator's...

sorry, misread that

I know that as I used it on my first FM (betatested by you ). It worked pretty nice for me, that's why I was asking

did you set up the location_settings entity?

This may mean that 1. the first VP doesn't work or 2. the location_seperator touched the VP brush, but not the facet with the VP texture on it.

 

Just guessing.

The config I have is text book and should have worked, in fact it was working. So god knows why it stopped, I did the dual VP/ILS for a laugh not thinking it would actually work.

Or the devil

unless you have an internal leak, or a transparent texture between the inside and outside thats letting the sound through, the same way that a transparent texture will let an inside light shine though to the ouside through another transparent texture even though there is void between the two textures.

[Bikerdude]

No, none of those two situations either. Just solid stone & sky brush and a single VP between the leafs with no internal leaks..

 

But the point is mutes as I manage to fix if by applying the bizarre fix above.

Just remember that I had a similar problem with my FM. The ambient of the outer yard was played when I entered the upper floor. It also worked before, but IIRC there was a leak between these two areas caused by a brush, of which some vertexes seemed to have moved slightly and causing a gap.

Took me a long time to find out. Who knows.
