The Mana World Forums

Thought I'd create a thread by category...

Going through the list, I have a burning fire effect recorded recently. I think I read somewhere that the means to implement environmental location based sounds is not present at the moment. But hopefully, if and when it is, the sounds will be there.

If this is a good idea (admin? Rotonen?), the next person to post up sounds could also thread by category? E.g. weapons, enemies, environmental, interaction etc.? May be easier, organisation-wise in the long run...

This categorization is more than fine.

Also it'll be excellent motivation for the tech devs to get on it if there is already a pool of sfx waiting to be used.

Hey all,

The other two listen location-based FX are attached. If any amendments are needed, please let me know...

Both getting approval by me (disclaimer: crappy headphones and no spectrum analysis, but I trust your sound work enough not to bother).

Hi,

Are these three sounds ready for commit?

I propose to add prefix for ennemies, player, system, environmental sounds, ...

Something like:
- maggot-hit1.ogg -> monster-maggot-hit1.ogg
- and in this case: env-burningfire1.ogg

What do you think?

I'd rather have folders: monster/maggot/hit1.ogg , env/burningfire1.ogg , etc

I agree about having folders...

I committed the environmental sounds from Dariuas, who I thank this nice contribution.

Now, to add environmental sounds, positional Audio + ability to get sounds objects in maps is needed.

I propose to add the latter as an issue and link it with the positional audio issue.

Regards,

The client's effect system can already do sounds.

Not attached to tiles, though.

If the server asks for it. NPCs can do that easily.

And if NPCs can have invisible GFX and a whitespace for a name, problem solved.

In my humble opinion, that sounds like a quick, but ugly workaround.

I'd prefer having ambient sounds with own properties (sound radius, loop, restart-each-sec, ...)
all of that being nicely handled in the map file.

Just my thought.

Regards,

Well, I've also been advocating the adaptation of OpenAL, but in the lack of someone who would actually code the support into the client, no luck so far.
