Something's not right...

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playerenters || timeout) {

  playlooped shore.wav;

  timeout = 0.05;

}

---

On the previous version of Graal, it would loop the file and, of course, change as the player changed position...allowing somewhat for ambient sound...now, everytime it loops with timeout, it plays a new instance of the sound...or at least that is what it does to my sound card and it floods it and slows down game play...Stefan, please fix this

You could change the sound to a longer .mid file, though then only players who have music enabled would hear it.

I also believe play stays normally centered on the player, though that means you'd have to make the timeout exactly equal to how long the sound is.

midis are disgusting :/

It's just a sound sample of waves hitting a shore...it's not long.

If you've ever played on 2k1 and was near Bomboria River, you'd here the running water (if SFX were on)...that script I posted is exactly how it works because any sound that is played starts at the NPC's origin unless you use play2 which allows you to set the x/y for a sound.

Another bug I've found is after setting a mod (s3m, xm, it, etc.) to play on the current level when you go to a new level that has a new file specified, it keeps playing the one from the previous level...this only happens when on a map...or one song overrides another even after doing stopsound <filename>; and stopmidi;

if (playerenters){
playlooped name.mid
}

works everytime for me!

Midi's automatically loop when you use play :/

playlooped is for SFX since wav files cannot loop on their own

The playlooped bug is fixed in the new version (v2.14 revision 4) which has been released yesterday
