dark engine sound

[c0mputer-fr0d]

Does anyone know how in the dark engine you were able to lean against a door and you could hear the sound outside of thedoor got louder? I listened to a podcast or something about it once but I forgot , had something to do with a room database or something.

I believe we can already do this in TDM, and we are tweaking it for the upcoming 2.04 release.

[New Horizon]

Yes. TDM already does this.

oh ok. I tried it on the new edgar's bathhouse map and it didn't work for me. I'll test it again. I'd be really interested in understanding how it works.

[Bikerdude]

you walk upto the door, then lean into said door, just like in T1/2/3.

It works by temporarily placing the player's "ear" on the other side of the door, which prevents any occlusion from the closed door's visportal being applied to the sound.

Was this a feature or bug in the Dark engine?

[SeriousToni]

Bug? What?! This worked fine for me everytime!

[demagogue]

It was a feature. It prevents you from opening a door into a waiting guard on the other side.
