Player movement sounds.

Recommended Posts

Hello! I'm working on a few extra player movement sounds as an experiment in my next FM.

 

A couple questions:

  • Is there any way to add a player jump sound for when the player begins the jump?
  • It looks like there is some setup for a player swimming sound, but it only seems to do exit/ enter splash sounds. Is this broken/ known issue? Is there anyway to hotfix this?
  • Is there a setup for playing a sound when the player is moving above a certain speed? Likely a script that says play sound shader when player velocity is above a certain value. Think of a wind rushing sound..
  • Lastly, is there a way to fade in and out a sounds using scripts? Something like adjust volume over time.

Regarding the last point, yes, there is such a script command: fadeSound(...) see tdm script reference in the wiki.

Awesome, found it.

 

scriptEvent void fadeSound(float channel, float newLevel, float fadeTime);

 

I imagine something like this would work.

void sound_event () {
   sys.trigger ( $mySpeaker)
   sys.wait (5);

   $mySpeaker.fadeSound (SND_CHANNEL_??, -15 , 5) //Not sure which sound channel to use
   sys.wait (5):
   $mySpeaker.stopSound (SND_CHANNEL_??) //Not sure which sound channel to use
}

Is it possible to fade all the sounds the player is hearing?

I'm not sure if I should be calling the player here or just any speaker.

void fadePlayerSound () {
     &player1.fadeSound(SND_CHANNEL_ALL, -15, 5)
     sys.wait(2)

     $player1.fadeSound(SND_CHANNEL_ALL, 0 , 1) // fades back to normal?
}

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
