Hiya,

I've been working on my model for a while now, and it goes pretty good, but it does miss some stuff!

One of them is the sound (Motor / Machine sound)!

How can I add a sound when I let something rotate / move, the sound goes up / higher (Like a car does^^) ?

This is 100% C-Script, it might be simple, so just think of a car that goes faster and faster, it sound changes, how to do it?

Thanks in advance!

ok. i give u the pseudocode, maybe u can make the c-script urself. (cause am using lite-c)

in the car action, u need to check for the events e.g.



this is the logic. u can convert it to c-script. let me know if there is any issues.

You can tune the sound in runtime via "snd_tune".
So you can achieve seamless pitch / volume blending.

Pseudocode:

var vSoundhandle;
var vVolume;
var vFreq;
vSoundhandle = snd_loop(sndEngine, 100, 0);
while(vEngineRunning)
{
vVolume = vCarSpeed*vVolumeFactor;
vFreq = vCarSpeed*vFreqFactor;
snd_tune(vSoundhandle, vVolume, vFreq, 0);
wait(1);
}

Ok thanks, I'm not sure yet but I will try it out and see if I can get it to work.

I've got an avi / mp3, how long should the sound sample be?

like 5 seconds or 1 second.. ? :P

use mp3.. y use avi. mp3 gonna be smaller file. less load. ah.. if u want best results. play around with the timings. run the game, turn ur car.. play around with the values then u can find out the best sample time.

Problem is, I've got a mp3 of 4 minutes long, I need to cut some part out, so that will be hard 'playing around' ^^

haha

You´ll need a short (~ 1 second), looped engine sound.
Take a look at your GS folder:

projects --> carlevel --> engine.wav

to get an example.

I´ll upload some sounds, just wait a minute.

Edit: Here you go: http://www.vulkanware.de/stuff/enginesounds.zip
Edit2: They are already looped - but you can change the charactaristics with Audacity if you want to.

Well thanks, thats a start, could you also tell me how to load in a sound, I am fairly new to 3DGS and scripting, so I've no experience with sound / adding sound!

Thanks in advance ^

use a free audio tool like audacity to cut off ur sounds into multiple small loops where u gonna use them. fogman gonna upload some for u !

cheers

Oki, I might need help setting it all up, but I'm already working on some small loops perfect fitting loops of lets say, 1 second.

I will see the samples coming!

Ok thanks for the upload, I have to go soon for a short period of time, and whenever I'm back I will take a closer look at it, and see if I can figure it all out by myself, if not, I will let you guys know!

See you later.
