Problems with sounds (more help needed) - Sazureth - 05-09-2012
Hey, what could be the reason for a .snt sound loop not playing unless I'm inside a certain area? If I'm simply not in that mysterious area, I can't hear the sound play at all.
The only function I'm using is PlaySoundAtEntity ("", "general_rain_m.snt", "Player", 1, false); which I've tried to call both on OnStart() and in its own function.
Changing the bool or the fade time has no effect.
/E: Solved, thank you!

I assume that it's big, but I'd be very happy for exact measurements.

The map, compared to most campaing maps, is enormous and the area is about the size of Wine Cellar, maybe slightly bigger.(05-09-2012, 06:06 PM)Sazureth Wrote: Hey, what could be the reason for a .snt sound loop not playing unless I'm inside a certain area?

Post erased. My theory was completely wrong.

The SNT file specifies the maximum distance the sound can be heard at.

Why not place the sound file in the level editor? Much more convenient for looping/ambient sound effects.

Open up the .snt in Notepad++, and look for the maximum distance setting. That's the 'mysterious area' of effect for the sound

Okay, everything above is solved and working, but now I've come up with another problem - I don't know how to make the custom story use sounds from the custom story sounds-folder.
I ran some tests; tried to change the file names and editing the .snt and I noticed that my story plays all sounds from the Amnesia parent folder, not the custom story subfolder. How can I change this? (because now I cannot use custom sounds at all)
