Sound "Areas"

Hi,

first of all - thanks for the great lib and hassle free installation on linux!

I've got two small suggestions: Remove CMakeCache.txt from svn as it has to be regenerated on individual machines anyway (and causes an error if one does not delete it). And instead of the "#ifndef LINUX" checks use "#if OGRE_PLATFORM == OGRE_PLATFORM_WIN32" or something like that, its a preprocessor define we can rely on (I had to explicitly define LINUX in my Codeblocks project).

Now for my actual question. Is there a preferred method to define "areas" of sound? Like the sound of the ocean - I have a feeling that arranging sound nodes at the coastal line will not only be tedious but also result in patchy volume distribution or clashing. Thanks for any input

For this you can apply the scene node for each area

attach sounds to the scene nodes and set up listener relative to the camera.

Hi,

Thanks for linux hints, I'll sort that out.

As for areas, there's nothing built in for this so its really a 'whatever suits your needs' approach, either do as MusgooDKZ suggests or define some kind of bounding volumes and do simple box tests to switch sounds..

Thanks guys

Honestly the best approach to me would be creating a trigger region along the coast, and whenever you enter this region an ambient sound plays. (not relative to listener)

oops guess I revivied an older thread, sorry.
