Need help for object vehicle client and sound.

[anantdeathhawk]

I am trying to mod F16 3p gun sound for my private use and when i put some sound files it says this.
even though the drive has 10Gbs of free disk space.Previously i put two files,but it isn't taking anymore files or any files at all.



Thanks.

It might copy files to a temporary directory on your main drive (I guess C:\) Make sure you have enough space there too.

[anantdeathhawk]

Yay! thanks that worked.
I only had 1Gb of space left in C drive, so deleted some files on the downloads folder and now i have approx 3Gbs of free space.

[anantdeathhawk]

Could you please tell me,what these do?

There are 3 sound files linked in this tweak file, how does all the 3 work?
I tried linking the 3P gun tweak file with two sounds although i noticed the "stopType 2" for the F16,that means full auto right?

The stopTypes corrospond to the way the sound is supposed to loop. I am not sure which stands for what, but I think the loop settings are:
- No loop
- Loop while holding button
- Loop while firing

[anantdeathhawk]

Ok thank you.

[anantdeathhawk]

So i noticed, the codes;

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.minDistance           <<--------------------(defines the minimum distance to hear the sound.)

ObjectTemplate.halfVolumeDistance    <<---------------------(defines the distance for half of the total volume you hear at min distance.)

In most jets' tweak file or gun file in case of harrier,these were the values of these codes for 3P sounds;

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.minDistance 30 (20 for Mig 21/20 or 30 for A10)
ObjectTemplate.halfVolumeDistance 450 (350 for Mig 21/250 for A10) 

I don't know if this is intentional or not.

I changed it to:

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.minDistance 400
ObjectTemplate.halfVolumeDistance 500

and i was able to hear the guns 400 meters from the target.This video below made me realize what was missing, when a jet in PR straffed a target.
I also tried the sound from this video, in game.

[Mats391]

minDistance is the minimum distance you can hear the sound. That means until it reaches minDistance it will not lose any volume.
After that point it loses half the volume for every halfVolumeDistance until it falls under a certain threshold and sound wont play

[anantdeathhawk]

Ok, so i interpreted it wrong, but it still means that i'll be able to hear the sound from atmost 400 m, if the min distance is set to 400?

[Mats391]

No. You can hear it to 400m as if you would be standing right next to the gun. Only after that point it will get quieter.

[anantdeathhawk]

Alright, i understand now.Thank you.Not messing with them anymore.
