How to link footstep sounds to texture colours

#1 Do you mean this?

Not all of it may be working. The detail arg isnt, for example.

#2 Yes I do thanks.

How exactly does this work? If I paint an area of the landscape with a texture I've called "grass", if I define:

AddMaterialMapping("grass","detail: fps/data/terrains/details/detail1", "environment: fps/data/skies/sunset_0007 0.25", "color: color: 0.46 0.36 0.26 0.4 0.0", "sound: 0");

When I walk over that area, will it play the sound defined by sound: 0?

Thanks

#3 Yes, basically. It would play whatever predefined sound you have. I think it lists some there... 1 thru 4.

You don't need the detail: section and the environment section. The detail isn't working right now (though I guess you could leave it in in case they ever get it working) and the Environment is for reflection maps on interiors/.difs only. I'm not completely sure that is working either (at least, I cant get it to work yet).

ddMaterialMapping("grass", "color: color: 0.46 0.36 0.26 0.4 0.0", "sound: 0");

SHOULD suffice...

#4 Ok thanks Eric.

I tried playing around with it, but now when the player moves, no sound is played for footfall and the game visibly pauses when he steps. If I fire, this partly solves the problem as the game no longer pauses, but his foot steps now sound like his weapon!! Weird.

Thanks again

#5 Odd...

Did you change the sound: 0 to 1,2,3 or 4?

BTW, this is the one from RW's PropertyMap.cs :

addMaterialMapping( "grass" , "sound: 0" , "color: 0.46 0.36 0.26 0.4 0.0" );

#6 I don't know! I can't remember what I changed, at least I didn't think I'd changed anything.

#7 Does anyone know any way of changing the sound presets (e.g. sound: 3) so instead of snow it plays sludge or the rustle of carpet when footsteps are made on the material?

I would imagine it is do-able but wonder if it's a code change rather than a script change.
