[RESOURCE] GUI Soundscape Editor

[TheTurnip]

Sweet! Out of curiosity, what did you program this with/in?

 

[Terr]

In hindsight, this probably should have been posted on a L4D Mapping site, but whatever.

Toss it up on the VDC Wiki page.

C#
(with Visual C# Express 2008)


Also, I'm currently testing a version that is fully compatible with the official L4D soundscapes. I know it's a pain to keep downloading new versions so I'll try to make this the last update (assuming there's no bugs) for a while (or at least until Portal 2 )
Update should be out tomorrow or friday.

 

[Cynick]

OK I forgot to tell you that the "Thursday or Friday update" was in valve time. I'm aware that it's annoying to download a new version so often, so this should be my last major update (except bugfixes) for awhile (until Portal 2 most likely).

This update should fully support loading of L4D and L4D2 Soundscapes into the editor. It also fixes a few bugs with file loading.

What's changed in 1.8:
  - BUGFIXES:
      - Fixed crash on loading a file with a null keyvalue (Editor and Debugger)
  - NEW FEATURES:
      - Fully supports loading of L4D and L4D2 Soundscape files
  - MINOR CHANGES:
      - Combined the "DSP Settings" and "Soundmixer" entries in the rule list into a "(Settings)" entry which also contains new settings when mapping for L4D/L4D2

Thx, but i have a problem...
I select "PlayLooping" and Browse for a file, which in directory
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\sound. And i have an error when i try to play it from that programm: "That file wasn't found on any GCF or on disk for the selected game, Team Fortress 2". WTH is going on?

Looks like another casualty of the Steampipe upgrade.

Geez. I think every single third-party Source modding tool has been wrecked by this thing. And of course, all of their creators have dropped off the face of the earth. This is exactly why all freeware should be open source, always.

 

[ZLOI_DED]

So?

Looks like another casualty of the Steampipe upgrade.

So how could i add ambient sounds to my map? If u know, of course

env_soundscape

Use the "soundscape" drop down list and pick one used there from other maps.

Personally, I set Radius to -1 and put one in front of every transition from indoors to outdoors and match the soundscape accordingly.

What does "player can see the soundscape" mean? That it is in PAS? PVS? Hitscan?

 

[Crash]

I never quite understood it, but I know if I put one inside of a doorway and outside of it (decent distance between) my transitions work perfectly.

Yeah, this was definitely broken by the steampipe thing. The app's XMLs list TF2s sounds as a GCF instead of a VPK. I tried editing the XML to open the sound VPKs in the \tf folder, but it doesn't seem to work. :/ Hopefully someone out there can fix this.

Just had a funny moment where I did the same thing I did 2 years ago and was like "hey, I should go ask for this to get fixed." And what do you know, I did this same thing 2 years ago and don't even remember it... >_>

Anyway, any chance of this being fixed? I know cynick hasn't posted here in like 4 years, but it must be possible. Anyone have any ideas?
