GWater2 - Sound

[@AvotGames]

why is there a motor sound behind the water sounds

[@Catnippy]

i guess it was recorded from a boat, hopefully it's just a placeholder audio source

[@TinyDeskEngineer]

I don't hear any motor sound

[@Meetric1]

Internally it uses the airboat water spash effect and I didn't notice the engine sound I'll make sure to change that lol :P

[@NoToTheNo]

lmaooo

[@Aeduo]

Oh I thought that was just ambient sounds from the map or something haha.

This is the next big evolution in gaming

[@goldfishglory]

awesome! Kind of reminds me of a waterfall. although one thing is that one sudden impact of water doesn’t really make that “kaSPLOOSH” sound you hear when somebody dumps water into a tub. other than that it’s perfect

[@Meetric1]

yeah... unfortunately that is a *ridiculously* difficult thing to calculate because (from what I understand) its based on how water forces air out of a cavity (meaning you'd have to literally simulate air) so I have yet to figure out how to calculate that performantly, and I probably never will

[@goldfishglory]

@ ohhh, i never thought about that. my first thought would be to kind of “cluster” water up into bodies and the detect how many of those are being impacted/how hard they are, but that probably wouldn’t work, either.

[@RaginYajun020]

I imagine running this under RTX Remix would Chernobylize the entire US lmao

[@NotABean_]

this is really cool omg!!!! the one thing i will say is that I think it should have a higher pitch when impacting a surface at a higher velocity, although in other cases it is quite convincing

[@Insanabiliter_In_Linea]

That sounds great, it helps a ton with immersion. Also, random thought, but have you added an optional feature that allows the player to set a limit to the amount of sprites that can be active in the map and once it goes over that it starts deleting the oldest sprites in the scene whenever the player spawns new ones. If not, I feel like that'd be a good way to handle fountains and would allow the player to not have to delete the water manually so they can just continue messing with it despite hitting the limit.

[@Meetric1]

Yes that is already a feature

[@MrHeliMan]

Finally! I've been waiting for this for so long! Guess you'll have to change it cuz of the airboat background sound, but it sounds really good anyway! Now I just gotta wait for the wet surfaces...

[@mastertheboi]

i wonder if the sound will change with the liquid's properties in the final version

[@Meetric1]

slightly yes

[@FishistixIsHere]

You should make a temperature system where the water can be hot and cold, and depending on the temperature of the water it would be ice, and maybe Stormfox 2 support. This would be kind of odd to implement or it's not possible/easy, but it's something that would make this great mod perfect. This would be understandable if you denied this as, it would be too complex or maybe unnecessary, but it would be cool.

[@Meetric1]

it sounds cool but ive packed my features set pretty tight, if I work on anything else I may go over the promised release date If I get time I'll look into it but as of now it isnt too high of a priority

If this works off of some sort of velocity system for the sound, if a group of them instantly deaccelerates it could make a splashing sound? Unless that's what you've already thought of. Would help a LOT with it. :)

[@CturiX.IREALLY]

Strange buzzing sound amongst the water, but it makes it sound distinct. Are you just planning for the one sound to play overall? Is there a way to describe how it works? much thanks

[@Meetric1]

1. The water flow sound internally comes from the airboat so youre probably hearing that lol 2. I may only do one sound, I'm not sure yet, it depends how expensive the sound calculations get 3. Description has some info on how it works if interested

[@ilovegarry]

Nice!!

[@RedBloxStudios]

It's wierd without water drop noises You should also probably Low Pass filter it for more viscous fluids and high pass for low viscosity fluids

[@Meetric1]

unfortunately gmod sound is insanely limited, I can only really control volume and pitch although there is DSP, but its a flag and not very versatile

[@Dichete]

[@artificialexecution]

you may say it sounds like a shitty blender animation, and you may be right, but even mid sounding water enhances the overall gwater2 experience immensely

you should try implementing realtime caustics next lmao

[@Meetric1]

Its probably possible but not a high priority for me rn

[@shbeebo1176]

you should try slowing, and pitching down the audio the more viscus the liquid gets.

[@Meetric1]

I already do this dont worry

[@KingSonicBoe]

make it so that depending on the speed and amount there is it could make a lil splash sound? (also add a setting that lets us turn the water sound off) and also will you make it sound different if there is super high viscosity or sm?

[@Meetric1]

1. I have yet to figure out how to calculate that performantly 2. planned 3. yes

[@KingSonicBoe]

@@Meetric1 1. maybe to stop every single water drop from making sounds uhh you know how you made the water drops merge? try to make the game check if they are merged, and that changes the pitch and also stops it from playing 1000000 splash sounds at once! (idk how any of this works i don't code or anything but it might work?) (also if it has 100% viscosity make it play the minecraft slime sound hehe) (cloth sound when??)

[@drobotk]

does the sound change if liquid is made more goopy etc?
