I had asked this question shortly after the EA version was released:
Quote: "I want to assign a different "sound when walking over" to my user created ground types, ie snow and leaves. I have figured out the setting to change the sound, but my user created ones will not play. I have renamed them to default names and they play fine, so I know it's not my sound files. This is what I have found out so far...
Inside the .fps file, under Segment Parts, is the materialindex0 = X entry, this changes the sound for each segment, when walking over it. It refers to the materials folder in the audiobank folder for each material type 1-4, and another one without a # named goo.
I have tried naming my snow sound file 5snow.wav, and pointing the entry to materialindex0 = 5, that doesn't work. I also tried using the full path to the file, no luck either Is there a setup script that has to be updated with my added materials? Or is this something that will not work until we have the segment editor?
Thank you"
Lee had graciously replyed with this:
Quote: "Only the pre-set ground sound types are supported for EA. In V1 this material list will at the very least extend 0 through to 9 so you can add five custom ones. At best, a user configurable list that you can set-up per game. Watch the V1 space!"
Is this still on the agenda for V1, or has it already been incorporated and working with the beta?
Thank you
It's easy not to get lost when you have no idea where you are going
