Sound shaders are completely new for Doom 3. They allow for more control over the sounds
|
||
than what was previously allowed in id engines. They also allow designers to drop sounds
|
||
in levels without having to set some common parameters every time.
|
||
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
Let's take a look at a simple sound shader:
|
||
</p><pre class="code">c1_sentry_loader_in
|
||
{
|
||
minDistance 10
|
||
maxDistance 25
|
||
|
||
no_occlusion
|
||
volume 3
|
||
|
||
sound/movers/comm1/sentry_loader_in.wav
|
||
}
|
||
</pre>
|
||
<img src="images/sounds_a.png" align="right" border="1">
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
</p><li>minDistance / maxDistance sets the radius where the sound fades out. The sound is at maximum
|
||
volume inside 'minDistance' radius, and it completely silent after 'maxDistance' radius.
|
||
</li><li>The no_occlusion key tells the engine not to take level geometry in to account when calculating
|
||
volume.
|
||
</li><li>'volume' is the volume inside the inner radius of the sound.
|
||
</li><li>The last line sets the actual sound file to play.
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
Let's take a look at another one:
|
||
</p><pre class="code">emetal_impacts
|
||
{
|
||
minDistance 5
|
||
maxDistance 45
|
||
volume 5
|
||
no_dups
|
||
|
||
sound/impact/ambient_impacts/emetal_01.wav
|
||
sound/impact/ambient_impacts/emetal_02.wav
|
||
sound/impact/ambient_impacts/emetal_03.wav
|
||
sound/impact/ambient_impacts/emetal_04.wav
|
||
sound/impact/ambient_impacts/emetal_05.wav
|
||
}
|
||
</pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This one has multiple sound files specified, which means the engine will randomly choose one to play.
|
||
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
The cvar s_maxSoundsPerShader limits the maximum number of sounds that can be in a shader. This is set
|
||
to 0 (no limit) for high end systems and 1 for low end systems (which means it always plays the first
|
||
sound in the list).
|
||
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
Here's a list of all the keywords that can be in a sound shader
|
||
</p><table class="datatable">
|
||

|

|
||

|
||
</tr></tbody></table>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If no channel masks are set, it will default to playing through all channels.
|
||
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
Valid sound files are 1 or 2 channel, 16 bit OGG or WAV files at 11025, 22050 or 44100 Hz.
