Spring RTS Engine

Hey!
Since 3d audio is in and spring is fully 3d, I'm wondering if it would be possible to add more soundcategorys than the order sounds, for example movingsounds, a low engine rumble and say the sound of tankstracks to tanks, whupping rotors for helicopters, jet engine sound etc. Right now only weapon sounds in Spring makes battles sound a bit unrealistic, and when you zoom real close to a tank collumn for example its kinda unnatural for it to be silent. AFAIK this hasnt been asked for before and perhaps would not be to hard to do?

it seem in this release some change for sound
for selected it s better

but you can replac all sounds by yours always
i do it for reduce lag in ota
and keep it in taspring

I have a lot of Fallen Haven sounds, and steam too, should I make engine stall sounds and idle sounds and moving sounds, and just keep the engine running?

keep always running?
so it s a new feature sure

Well, you can call sounds from the script, so...

orly?



As far as idle sounds and sounds to play while moving... +1.

It's one of the change logs, hang on. It came with the support for a few TA:K scripty stuff if I recall.

I'll see if I can find it

EDIT: -Added support for loading TA:K COB files and implemented the TA:K-specific opcode play-sound.

so why does no mod use this yet? (as far as i know..)
I love the "whop whop whoop whooop whooop" when helicopters go down in C&C Generals.

we didn't know... honestly.

Because, we are new, open minded, and don't mind sticking our fingers in the mud to find something

Even though we may find nothing.....

I am so gunna do this, it would be awesome to hear a bunch of engines coming when you make a large ass rush, the enemy could guess what was coming....

Searching the changelog can be rewarding!

Pic filled with equal win.

and searching the forum....

Yup its in my mod now

I am gonna have the robots have a weird ambient sound... Like a Vhooommm, with an electrical tinge

What I'd like would be more soud categories so units could play a different sound for confirming attack orders vs. move orders. Also allowing multiple files to be listed and one played at random each time. That would allow the confirmation comments units make in other RTSes. Currently you have to make them generic since you don't know what order the unit took and you have to make them short so repetition doesn't matter as much.

i was planning on doing that before my units open fire (when they're unfolding/readying for attack)
