Changing SFX Volume?

[catyp 10]

I've added a new sound effect for the downforce thrusters on the racer example addon, but I can't figure out how to adjust the volume without editing the .wav file itself. The file shaders.h seems to have a volume setting (e.g. buggy_engine1 "volume 0.500000") but it doesn't have any obvious effect. Anybody know what I'm missing? Thanks.

Hi, yes it is in the following file:

AddonExample\data\scripts\OnSim_Racer4Reflip.h

Specifically, the volume is modulated there, line 172, 174, 193, 195:

thrusterPart.PlaySnd(PART_SOUNDS_EXTCHNL1, fxEnt.FX_Snd_Thruster, SFX_3D, fxEnt.FX_Vol_Thruster * fabs(thrusterPart.GenVec2[0]), 0.2 * fabs(thrusterPart.GenVec2[0]) + sndFreq * sndVar);

But if you just globally want to change the volume maximum for that sound, it is here:

AddonExample\data\configs\FX\Thruster_DownForce.cfg

Specifically here:

FX_Vol_Thruster			0.8
FX_Vol_Thruster_Far		0.4

Where the "far" setting is for the sound played in the distance.

Hope that helps!

Ah, awesome, that's it. Thanks Dram! I feel a bit silly now not having looked properly in the config file...

P.S. The mod tools are looking awesome so far!
