New ubersound work-around!

[Random]

DOH!! ok i will give that a go and see what it does for me.

[jv_map]

You need to type "local" (with quotes) when using the work-around.

[Random]

local.master = spawn ScriptMaster

local.master aliascache Mach_loop sound/amb/Amb_MachineLoop_02.wav soundparms 0.5 0.0 1.0 0.0 256 512 "local" loaded maps "obj dm"

Like this?

Cuz as i dig through the uberduber thingy it has it like this?


aliascache dm_hit_notify1 sound/null.wav soundparms 1.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 160 1600 local loaded maps "dm moh obj"

see no quotes? Now i am really con-fus-ed

[jv_map]

Yup but when using the work-around you need to type it with quotes , otherwise the game will read 'local' as the current thread object (as in local.player).

[tltrude]

Your min distance is very small (160). That means the volume will only be full for a radius of 160 units from the source, and it will fade untill you get to 1600 units away--where it cuts out.

If you set those values right, only one speaker entity will be needed for the room--unless it is a very long room.

[Random]

Remade LOL:V2 so yeah there are some big open spaces and turning down the volume as well as shortening the min distance seemed to be the only thing i could do to balance out the sounds in the room. Otherwise with larger min distances you would either be overwhelmed by the sounds or hit a dead spot between the sound origins and not hear it enough. BTW does the uber work around disable the cinemtatic command? If so i think thats great. Sounds are a big part of the ambience of the map and i think its a shame for peeps to turn them off.

[jv_map]

I made this a sticky since it turns out to be a 'frequently asked question'

[small_sumo]

May I once again say how good it is thgat you sorted out our mohaa sound problems, my maps are so much more realistic with specially placed sounds now.

Thanks JV

Anyone ever got this to work with Spearhead? Just doesn't work for me at all.

Just get an error saying can't find alias in ubersound or uberdialog

I am having the same problem. I also justarted a thread on this for Spearhead and I am hoping someone comes up with a solution. Look for Spearhead / Ubersound Problem.

Yeah um guys Mirek once stumbled onto something that seams to work for SH and that is you can write a scr of your map name into the ubersound folder with aliases you need and that worked. He did it for a card game ion my very first map hanger_se.

[theMechanic]

Ok, can some one help a real uber noob here. This is my script, the plane flys fine, bombs fine, the whole bit, but i get this error in my log about the sound using this work around.

$pl1 playsound alarm_siren (maps/dm/mohdm1.scr, 88)

ive tried loopsound also.

You are executing

Code: Select all

$pl1 playsound alarm_siren

before you run the plane thread... and $pl1 is created in the plane thread... Applied to NULL listerner means that the object you are trying to acces does not exist.

[theMechanic]

Well, i've had that issue before and did think that as a possibility, can you give me a heads up on where i might put it?

[Bjarne BZR]

After "thread plane" ( as it does not exist until you run the plane code ).
