why is there only 2 sounds playable at the same time I have music playing a door opening and i have assigned a buzzing sound to a light, but when the buzz is going the door opening sound does not play, and vice versa... will there be an update soon to allow more polyphony??

I really hope so, as to build atmosphere sound needs to be good, the 3D engine is impressive already.

Also what is the signifcance of sound0 string and sound1 string in the properties of an object, is sound1 ever used?

From this very thread on Steam (via Lee):

Quote: "You can have MANY sounds overlaying each other if you like. Just create a soundzone, change the script to musicinzone.lua and then assign a music WAV file. Then create a second, third, forth, each with its own track and see how they all try to play at once. For the sound0 and sound1 fields, these are used when the entity uses a script that calls PlaySound(e,0) or PlaySound(e,1) respectively. You can also use the LoopSound, StopSound and similar commands too. "

you can only assign 2 sounds to 1 object/zone but it should still play all (unlimited) sounds from multiple objects as long as it's scripted correctly

sound0 and sound1 are simply the names to tell between those 2 sounds, for example a doorbell might be set as sound0 and a knocking effect might be sound1

Looks like default.lua does not play sounds, at leas for me, and default.lua file is not in my scriptbanck folder, it should be harcode now.

Way back in December I ask the question - where is the default.lua file found and the answer by pirate myke was...
Quote: "The file does not exist in the folder structure. If any thing it is a place holder for the importer.
