Sound Question

by Bob "Colonel_Klink" Watt · in Torque Game Engine · 04/05/2004 (5:36 pm) · 10 replies

Hi
I've noticed that the sound directions don't appear to be working as they should. For example.

When firing the crossbow in the fps.starter if I face in one direction the explosion sounds are correct i.e. left- center- right, however if I face in the opposite direction and fire the sounds are now right- center- left. Is this a bug? or something I can fix locally.

Also on the question of sound, how can I make it so I can hear the explosions at a greater distance?

The torque sound engine is buggy (to the best of my knowlage). to make it heard long distance edit their audio profiles in crossbow.cs i think. (im sooooo happy the hotel seems to have wireless LAN and i can access it with moms laptop!!)

Got the distance sound bit. thanks.
However is there any way of fixing this sound direction issue?

Has anybody else encountered the strange sound directional problem I have mentioned above?

There were a few people who went through and messed with a lot of the settings. I suggest you do some forum digging or hope someone drops by with links. :)

Hi Ben.
Been digging myself. Opened all the 'sound', 'direction' and 'explosion' threads and found nothing. Also checked the snippets section with the same result.

You might check under "openAL" too.

That's too bad. I got nothing for you. You'll have to dig through the code yourself. :(

If you set the sound properties to be 3D and it's still doing that (sounds like that's what's going on)... try to make the sound a mono wav file and see if that affects things. I think the engine just works far better when you use mono for 3D sounds.

I'm a bit out of practice, but see if that helps anything. :)

Hi Paul.
AT the moment I'm using starte.fps demo. The sound problem exists in there for me. Dunno if it does for anybody else, but its very annoying.
