say 92% pls !

[Leki]

Well, OK - only hits and souds to do. Then some polishing and it will be ready for publishing. So I can say 93%...

[Leki]

Well, I have no idea, how to solve custom monster sound problem...
Monsters like skeleton_warrior_sword has definition like this one:

defineObject{
	name = "skeleton_warrior",
	class = "Monster",
	model = "assets/models/monsters/skeleton_warrior.fbx",

	},
	moveSound = "skeleton_walk",
	footstepSound = "skeleton_footstep",
	attackSound = "skeleton_attack",
	hitSound = "skeleton_hit",
	dieSound = "skeleton_die",
	hitEffect = "hit_dust",
	capsuleHeight = 0.7,
	capsuleRadius = 0.25,
	collisionRadius = 0.6,
	health = 120,
	sight = 4,
	attackPower = 9,
	accuracy = 10,
	protection = 5,
	immunities = { "poison" },
	movementCoolDown = 2,
	noRecoilInterval = { 0.25, 0.5 },
	exp = 90,
	lootDrop = { 100, "legionary_spear", 100, "legionary_shield" },
	healthIncrement = 15,
	attackPowerIncrement = 5,
	protectionIncrement = 1,
	brain = "Melee",
}

as you can see, there is a part of sound definition:

Code: Select all

        ..	
        moveSound = "skeleton_walk",
	footstepSound = "skeleton_footstep",
	attackSound = "skeleton_attack",
	hitSound = "skeleton_hit",
	dieSound = "skeleton_die",
        ..

in grimrock_assets\sounds.lua you can find "skeleton walk":

SpoilerShow

Code: Select all

local function monsters()
..
	defineSound{
		name = "skeleton_walk",
		filename = "assets/samples/monsters/skeleton_walk_01.wav",
		loop = false,
		volume = 1,
		minDistance = 1,
		maxDistance = 10,
	}
..
end

in grimrock_assets\animation_events.lua you can find "skeleton walk":

SpoilerShow

Code: Select all

..
defineAnimationEvent{
	animation = "assets/animations/monsters/skeleton_warrior/skeleton_warrior_walk.fbx",
	event = "footstep",
	frame = 9,
}

defineAnimationEvent{
	animation = "assets/animations/monsters/skeleton_warrior/skeleton_warrior_walk.fbx",
	event = "footstep",
	frame = 20,
}

defineAnimationEvent{
	animation = "assets/animations/monsters/skeleton_warrior/skeleton_warrior_walk.fbx",
	event = "footstep",
	frame = 31,
}

defineAnimationEvent{
	animation = "assets/animations/monsters/skeleton_warrior/skeleton_warrior_walk.fbx",
	event = "footstep",
	frame = 42,
}

defineAnimationEvent{
	animation = "assets/animations/monsters/skeleton_warrior/skeleton_warrior_walk.fbx",
	event = "footstep",
	frame = 55,
}
..

As you can see, it's easy:
You have sound deffinition, and you have animation event definition. In monster definition you have to write "sound_name" of your custom sound. When monster is walking, there is animation_event and this events calls sound in defined frame.

Here is custom monster script:

But, if he is walking, you can hear only first step - does not matter if in monster script is defineAnimationEvent defined. Attack works without problem. Party gets hit on defined frame, so event"attack" is ok, I guess. But event "footstep" does nothing.
As you can see there is not "turn" animation_event definiton, but ingame you can hear sound. Its in the beggining of animation - the same as walking and you can hear it once as well.
For human bowman I used skeleton archer walking animation, as you know. Current version is without walking animation events, only attack. It sounds in the same way so I wrote there walking events and it's ok now, so I will update bownam files soon, but it does not solving human warrior problem. Bowman is ok, because I just copied skeleton archer animation and renamed it. Warrior has whole new walking animation. So maybe there is smth wron in export and frames are corupted or smth like that... I can loop walk sount 3x to mimic his sounds, but its piece of shit and the same happens for attack - I don't like to fake whole sounds. Any ideas?

[maneus]

Maybe you can set in your sound.lua loop = "true". ? No idea if it fix your problem, but I would try it.

[Drakkan]

80 % ? Thats a nightmare !

[Eleven Warrior]

Leki I don't know what or if this right, but when I use your Human Warriors (archers) I don't hear them walking but I don't care because imam so busy trying to kill them I don't even notice their walking Sounds ahy.. And I guess nobody else would either ahy.. Anyhows I love your work sound or no sound its awesome, buts that just me.. When you are trying to kill something, the last thing imam thinking about, hey can I hear its foot steps LOL

[bongobeat]

Hey,
Eleven Warrior is true, that sound problem doesn't really a problem, or?
I use actually your archer and I hear a sound like skeleton archer's sound. Seems now, that is the first step you mentionned?
I just come back from the editor and I hear now that the bowman did only a "first step", while the skeleton did have a additional walk sound.
If you didnt had post that here, I would not notice anything. And honestly, this doesn't bother me, my attention is on their shoots, not on their moves

Well, it doesn't bother me as a player, but as a conceptor, I understand it may hmmm, make angry? Sorry I dont find the word !

Anyway, this is a small detail

[Leki]

I still cannot solve human warrior sound problem. The same sh*t happend to the dragon, so I made fake attack sound (dragon bite) controled by script and timer. It's terrible to synchronize it with animation - because different speeds of computers - so it's only around 90% match... But this method doesn't helps for standard monster like human warrior is. So I will release him with this known bug :-/

Just to keep continuity of this thread , here is the Dragon. You can see him in the action in ORRR2.
After some polishing, I will release him as monster plugin as well, with simple tutorial how to use it - so you can play with dragon in the editor as well!
