Underwater Sound?


New Horizon

Recommended Posts

@NH: I know we have an ambiance called "Underwater," but I'm not sure if this was intended to be the sound always played when underwater or not.

 

@GIMG:

Hmm, the new sound engine could potentially do that, but I'm not sure if Id gave us enough reference functions to the sound engine to tell it, in the SDK, to apply certain things only when we're in water.

 

You could definitely do it using the existing sytem by putting a visportal at the water surface and putting an info_location in the water and an info_location_separator at the portal, but that would be a pain to do for every bit of water.

Couldn't you do it via scripts or something as well, or tie it into the code that defines when the player is in the water? Even lowering the volume of everything when the player is in the water would be fine. It would be bizarre to be in water under a bridge or something and hear people walking on the cobblestones or wood clear as you were above water.

 

Heck, isn't there a sound shift when you go slomo in RoE? Couldn't we use a similar code to that?

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
