Environment sounds

[spirit 0]

Hey guys,

Well i managed to finalize a lot on my watkins map and i am running in something i dont know yet. The environment sounds for the map.

I did manage to get sounds attached to the textures but when i open my winte rmap i hear all sorts of insects QWAAAARK en ttrrrrrr. Fine but not in the artic.

I seem to miss out where i can set the standard environment sound setting for the day and during the night.

Can anybody be of any help to that? Thanks in advance.

Well i am not a config file export but i try explain better. I have snow textures and rock textures. Now in the config i can link the sound to the textures like example below (just all files get water sound)

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

class wegisies : Default {

access = ReadOnly;

files = "*";

rough = 0.005;

dust = 0.01;

soundEnviron = "water";

character = "Empty";

};

That done then indeed everywere you walk you hear if walking on water. Just example going here, nothing i realy implement.

Now i killed all insects like example of another winter map.

class Species {

class Mosquito {

probability = 0;

cost = 0;

};

};

};

};

Works fine. So now i have watersound everywhere i walk and i have no insect flying.

Still the sound when i walk away from the coast is like a cricket (zzzz zzzzz zzzz) going nuts. Not to mention when it is night its sounds like one big insect party.

Where do i change that and better yet, where does this sound come from?

Hey Q, Tx for the offer mate and i might go make use of that if it aint what i think it is.

After some searching i came into this (for those intrested i post here). I didnt quite get the link i got before but i gues could have understood back then. The one down under gave direct hints to the cricket:)

Et voila, my cricket is gone. Changed it to wind sound till i figured out something more fun.
