Final testing of a new soundsystem: it can mute for a while Bird's if they afraid of shooting or explosion noises.
first i was thinking this is done within a few hours, but at the end it was nearly a one week project, including creating a complete new set of sounds for the scene, and the code was also not so easy like i was thinking it would be.
the worst thing: i was expecting this could be nice for the immersion, but honestly, if you dont know it, you did not mention it, didn't you ?
technically info: the birds are taken out of a pool from 10 soundslots, they are dynamicly random played and random positioned around the player with random volumes.
a second soundlayer is for the wind.
a third layer is again a multilayered random pool which holds things like crickets, bees, leaves, small windblowings.
every loud noise like a shooting gun or a explosing sets a timed marker which is asked and processed by the first bird 10-set-layer, it scales down his volumes, play a birds-fly-away sound and process then a long volume infade, so like the birds come back after some time and start again, at low volume, with singing.
i also scaled down the snipers on towers because they was way to strong in testplays, but now they are to weak, have to re-adjust them again :D
inbetween i have nearly 558 gb of videos with testplays of different scenes from last days which i have to work out step by step (and which i do since days, mostly tweaking AI behavior and weaponbalance) -.-
ah, nice to know: we have had this week here (Germany) temperatures between 30 and 39 degrees celsius, and i have outside of my window a ******* cricket sitting and doing EXACT the same sound i have in this map so i always try to mute down sandbox and it doesnt help :D
Great
