I'm having a bit of trouble assigning sounds to an already made segment.

I'm trying to come up with a collection of alien room segments using rooms from segments I've bought, everything is going fine except I can assign 'footsteps' I've created. In the audiobank:materials folder there is a 'materialdefault.txt' file which has 16 footstep types in, I'm creating a 17th called squelch. In the segments .fps file I've changed all the materialindex's to 17 and I've added



to the materialdefault.txt, but no matter what it's playing the 'on wood' footsteps. Can you only have 16 footstep types or is there something I'm missing?

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know, but it sounds like a likely restriction. Have you tried replacing the 16th with yours to test the theory?

best.

Followed your advice Xplosys and it does seem 16 is the limit. I've now substituted my squelchy sounds for the '16oldwood' set and it works.

In that same file (materialdefault.txt) did you try changing the materialmax to 17? Not sure if that would work but it seems like it should. Although, the "16" still might be something that is hard coded into the engine despite the variable in the text file.

==========================

;material list (default)

;header

materialmax = 16 (change to 17?)

;core materials (SID=Scrape,Impact,Destroy)

Maybe you should talk to Lee about this, he could possibly leave us room to insert our own material sounds in v2?

I imagine adding the facility to add our own material sounds would be low on the list.

Especially when we can do it by just replacing the current ones.

Good info... thanks Nickydude.

just backup the old ones and switch the materials around for each project, so once you build your game you can switch back
