Frakin Toasters Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 This is an extremely good idea dude, but what if you are directly next to or above something that is exploding? Then it would be quite the opposite of realistic. Even so, that is probably less likely. So i'm gonna get this for sure :) Cheers!
coopercobra03 Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 Yes I thought about that! Most likely you will be away from the target in most situations.
KrUEgER888 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 1 second delay not realistic, could also be a 5 sec delay. It all depends on the distance from the impact, like in real life. My 2 cents, --I dont drive fast , I just fly low.-- I dont drive fast, I just fly low:pilotfly:
Razorback Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Hi, I agree with Krueger but I find your add-on very nice and I will for sure add it to my BS. Very good idea !! Keep working Raz
Heiliger Bimbam Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 1 second delay not realistic, could also be a 5 sec delay. It all depends on the distance from the impact, like in real life. My 2 cents, --I dont drive fast , I just fly low.-- You have to be 102,8km (at 20°C temperature) away from the target, for a 5sec delay. Even 1sec is far -> 20,5km. Thanks for the Mod, Cooper :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
EtherealN Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) How'd you figure that? AFAIK the speed of sound is about 350 meters per second or ~1200km/h. Way it looks to me, if 1 second is 20,5km, the speed of sound would be ~73 800km/h. It isn't. :P Edited March 30, 2009 by EtherealN [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester

If that were true, man could never experience the effect of echo, because at the needed distance the impedance of the air would have eaten up all sound energy. Don't know where you got those numbers from, but they are complete nonsense, sorry. Btw. does the BS sound engine not feature doppler effects and sound delays by default? Edited March 30, 2009 by sobek Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
MadTommy Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) Nice idea, however without some way of making the delay dynamic i can't see any benefit to this. I often find myself very close to explosions. How'd you figure that? AFAIK the speed of sound is about 350 meters per second or ~1200km/h. Way it looks to me, if 1 second is 20,5km, the speed of sound would be ~73 800km/h.

Heiliger Bimbam Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Sorry, my fault. 340m/s is correct... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Jigsaw Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) Nice idea, however without some way of making the delay dynamic i can't see any benefit to this. I often find myself very close to explosions. It certainly is more realistic than an instaboom from exploding targets 6 kilometers away. ;) Good thing. I'll give it a shot! I think so far Operation Flashpoint is the only game that takes sound delay into account. Or did ArmA do it, too? Don't remember. Edited March 30, 2009 by Jigsaw
Frakin Toasters Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Frontlines Fuel Of War has an excellent Doppler sound engine. Also, Half Life 2 did. Those aren't sim games of course. It really would be nice to fire a Vikhr at a tank a short distance away and hear just the thud of the explosion a few short time after, as opposed to the detailed high-frequencies.
crazysundog Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I think 1 second is a good idea..!! thanks for the mod!

EinsteinEP Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Nice idea, however without some way of making the delay dynamic i can't see any benefit to this.Dynamic sound GREATLY added to the immersion of Silent Hunter IV. It caused a pretty signficant but not unreasonable performance hit, though. It is so cool to see a fireball rise up from where your torpedo hit the fat merchie, and get hit with the sound a few seconds or so later. Same with the muzzle flashes and sound of incoming gun fire from bad guy ships. That said, I'm not certain this'd add a whole lot to Black Shark. Would have to try it. Although I applaud the effort (and the efforts of all the fine modders out there), I don't think a static delay for sound effects would cut it for me. I would love to try a dynamic sound ranging mod out though... Shoot to Kill. Play to Have Fun.
Frakin Toasters Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I'd imagine you'd have to rewrite half the engine just to incorporate that. And if it did incur a performance hit, i doubt many would be able to play with it considering the game is pretty hefty already, and a lot of people struggle to keep the FPS high. It would probably mean surrendering my level 8 anti-aliasing in singleplayer, an level 4 in multiplayer. The game looks ugly without it.
Chibawang Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Rewrite half the engine for Dynamic sound? That's pretty ridiculous, unless you're referring to the sound engine specifically; then it's just excessive. Doppler effects or no, the sound engine pretty desperately needs a massive tune up. IMHO, it would add to the immersion more than any improvement other than dynamic AI for ground forces. 1

There's a good expansion out as well allowing you to operate a german boat in the pacific, including functions like calling in support from scout planes and get airstrikes on convoy escorts that are chasing you. :P There's also some very good-quality realism mods that sort out some issues that aren't really bugs but just places where things aren't quite right.

Frakin Toasters Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Actually it isn't that ridiculous, if the game engine is old and doesn't have things set up into modules or layers. But yes i meant the sound engine. My friend is on a games programming course at uni, so i know a bit about what goes on with coding game engines. Anyway, stop reading things to the letter.
