THE AUDIO TOOLS YOU NEED - Quick Reference Guide

[toadlife]

If you play the Taxman mission I made with the custom voices that use the "say" command, if a unit "says" a sound file 60m away, it sounds like it's 10m away. If I just tone down the volume, it still sounds 10m away, but just at a lower volume... know what I mean?

Probably the limitation of either your sound card and/or the games usage of EAX - which is NOT very good. The game has never handled directional sound very well. :-\

Hey ebud,

if you find yourself stuck, send me a copy of the sound file and i'll try to fix it for you. I've made a template of the efx i used to simulate the outdoor invironement, so it wouldn't be much trouble for me to reproduce it.
You can send it to:

ruipadinha@netvisao.pt

thanks for the info. Sometimes it does sound good, but sometimes it doesn't. RP I sent you a file to test it on. Hope it works.

to ebud:

i've now sent you back the processed files. In the quick test mission i made, they sounded ok to me.
I hope it works out for you.

Maybe it's time to solve this out.
I hope it can be one more sorce of information in the forums, especialy for those less familyarised with these kind of tools.
Thanks everybody, for the feedback you gave.

RP out.
