I added a feature to remove the ambient sounds (random gunfire, computers beeping, wind blowing, etc). So here is a video with all the maps comparing these 3 settings turned on and off:
gm_fx_ambient_sound_enabled
gm_fx_volumetric_fog_enabled
gm_fx_visual_enabled
The video is pretty long because I show off all the maps, but it's easy to get the point after the first few. I also boosted the sound in the video 200% so its easy to hear the diff.
You mentioned that it's possible to turn off the Train on WMD, the rocket on Launch, and the blast doors on Radiation. Are there DVARS built into the game to do this or is it part of your ambient_sound feature?
ReplyDeleteAlso in your vid I noticed that you were still making sound while you were crouched, albeit at a lower volume. I never noticed this before; am I mistaken? If it's true then you should create an enable/disable option for this since you never made sound while crouched in previous CODs.
i initially grouped the train/rocket/etc with the "gm_fx_visual_enabled" dvar but i'll probably branch it off into seperate ones
ReplyDeletei dont recall hearing any noise when I was crouched but i'll look into it
oh yea i really had to turn up the volume but i heard it... most likely the other ambient noises always hide that sound so it was never noticable
ReplyDeletei can do what i did with aiming down the sight to make you silent when crouched
setdvar("gm_silent_crouch", true);
ReplyDeleteeasy enough
actually it appears that you make that slight noise even when you have ninja on.. i dont think its footsteps.. but somethign else on you that makes the noise
ReplyDeletealso
setdvar("gm_map_launch_rocket_enabled", false);
setdvar("gm_map_wmd_train_enabled", false); setdvar("gm_map_radiation_digger_enabled", false);
Hey mate, nice work, but i just wanted to know if we can say put this in to the config file, cause i dont want a mod to get me VAC banned :/
ReplyDeleteits mod only.. but im not releasing anything util the mod tools are out. At that point it will be safe to mod without the risk of VAC bans
ReplyDeleteWhatever is making that noise, is it possible to turn off or did you figure it out already?
ReplyDeleteyea im not sure.. its either deep in the audio script code somewhere or in the actual game.. i'll investigate more
ReplyDeleteit may not be a big deal tho, the sound might be only to the local player only which is not a big deal.. once i can test with other people i'll be able to see if that is the case
also the volume of the noise you make moving when you are supposed to be silent is very very low.. i had to blast my volume in order to hear it.. and then went i fired a shot i nearly blew out my eardrum
i guess everything is fixed now and not working anymore
