Discussion Changing Bandits to Skeletons in Dungeons

[Jacob]

Hi!

I have a question, is there still a possibility for skeletons to show up in dungeon and catacombs?

Im just....curious about that.

Check out this thread: Need Help - Is there a way to add the Skeletons back in to Caves/Dungeons

 

[Jacob]

That's really helpful thank you but i got another question, is there also another possibility for death sounds after killing the enemy?

I noticed that they only appear when you killed someone with Poisoned Rapier but with normal it doesnt make any sounds

 

[Pieter Boelen]

There must be a way.
But I'm not sure how.

I'd expect related code to hide in the Loc_ai folder.

//Проиграть звук
void LAi_CharacterPlaySound(aref chr, string soundname)
{
// LDH This shouldn't be happening, but it's here until we can get all the .wav sounds into the sounds_alias.ini file - 24Mar09
// the problem is mostly with pistol sounds at the moment
/*if (strRight(soundname, 4) == ".wav")
{
// KK -->
float u, v, w;
if (GetCharacterPos(chr, &u, &v, &w))
Play3DSound(soundname, u, v, w);
else
SendMessage(chr, "s", Sound_GetName(soundname));//MAXIMUS
// <-- KK
return;
}*/
if (strLeft(soundname,3) == "Gr_")
PlayVoice(chr, soundname); // LDH plays sound at voice volume - 18Mar09
else
{
if (LAi_IsDead(chr)) // LDH need this to play "body" sounds when dead character falls - 22Mar09
SendMessage(chr, "s", soundname); // LDH this plays at the right volume but the wrong location
else
PlayCharacterSound(chr, soundname); // LDH plays sound at soundFX volume - 19Mar09
}
}



Code from Lai_characters from New Horizons










void LAi_CharacterPlaySound(aref chr, string soundname)

{
SendMessage(chr, "s", soundname);
}





and that's the code European uses, got any suggestions?

I noticed that they only appear when you killed someone with Poisoned Rapier but with normal it doesnt make any sounds

PROGRAM\Loc_ai\LAi_events.c:

           if( CheckAttribute(weapon, "poison" ) )    // if weapon poisonous
           {
               findCh.chr_ai.poison =  300 ;   // poisons EVERY near character
               // NK play sound too 05-07-10
               if(findCh.sex == "woman") {LAi_CharacterPlaySound(findCh, "OBJECTS\Voices\dead\female\dead_wom2.wav");}   // groan
               else{LAi_CharacterPlaySound(findCh, "OBJECTS\Voices\dead\male\dead4.wav");}
           }

And:

    if( CheckAttribute(weapon, "poison" ) )    // if weapon poisonous
   {
[...]
           if(IsMainCharacter(enemy))
           {
               if(enemy.sex == "man") {PlaySound("OBJECTS\Voices\dead\male\dead4.wav");}       //JRH: was very hard to hear at all
               else{PlaySound("OBJECTS\Voices\dead\male\Death_NPC_03.wav");}
           }
           else
           {
               if(enemy.sex == "man") {PlaySound("OBJECTS\DUEL\man_hit6.wav");}       //JRH: was very hard to hear at all
               else{PlaySound("OBJECTS\Voices\dead\female\dead_wom2.wav");}
           }
[...]
   }

I think those are the responsible bits for those sounds.

I mixed a code in LAi_events, replaced a code from Polish version to Modded one, and it's true, it's very hard to hear it.
But the question is then, what's the way to turn the volume higher?

#event_handler("Event_ChrSnd_Body", "LAi_ChrSnd_Body");
void LAi_ChrSnd_Body()

    aref chr = GetEventData();

        {
        case "man":
            LAi_CharacterPlaySound(chr, "body");
            break;
        case "woman":
            LAi_CharacterPlaySound(chr, "body");

I didn't know that's why I changed to
PlaySound(" etc

I checked again, Those "Death_NPC_01 - 08" are the some quiet, so far the best solution in to tune the music down a bit just to hear the effects
