Yes ! sorry !
What happens is as soon as the map starts I can hear the planes coming.
I then sounds as though they pass over me but I cant see anything.
Then 15'ish seconds later the planes go over ! LOL

OK, I've managed to get the planes to fly over intime with the sounds effect.

But.... I cant here them when I move to the end of their flight path.
If Im near the origin then its perfect. I here them evertime and in synch.

If I move to the point where I make them dissappear at the other side of the map, I hear nothing !

Ok I fixed it for you Paulo

Change your alias entry for this one:


Quote:stuka_flyby,,vehicles/stuka_by02.wav,1.5,1.5,0.8,1.1,12000,16000,auto,,,,,

The reason you didnt here it before was you didnt specify a min distance.

Quote:,dist_min,"within this distance in inches, the sound is always full volume (default = 120)"
If not specified it will default to 120 which is way too small.

The way sounds work in this engine means if your not within hearing distance it wont start playing the sound. As the planes get closer to you the engine dosn't know your location and that you should be able to hear the sounds now, not unless you wanted to track the locations of every player in the map every second... :) It only check players origins when a call is made to play a sound. This is my understanding of it anyway.

Also your planes start a long way out of the play area which meant a of the time payers would be out of range or outside the min distance value.

I found the sounds to be erratic, as I say above, it depended on where I was located in the as to if it played the sound file or not.
With these changes it plays every time unless your way over the back corner of the map.
