Hi there

I have been playing around with CharacterSounds for a while now. They dont seem to be played in the right way to give a distance and angle feeling of the source/character. Sometimes left/right is wrong, sometimes they are loud for characters that are far away, sometimes you shoot an enemy in front of you and f.e. the volume of the dead sound is very low.

Whats wrong?

Are the sounds you're using mono? They need to be mono for Game Guru to 'place' them in a three dimensional sense.

mono .wav files and only 22k files NOT 44.1k files.

mono .oggs will not give the 3D placement of audio.

I have also noticed strange things from the 3D sounds. Only from PlayCharacterSound as well. Not anything major but like Snake675 said, sometimes it is as if the sound is played from a random location that is far left or right of the character that the sound should be played from. I notice this most when an "onDeath" sound is triggered.

Quote: "mono .wav files and only 22k files NOT 44.1k files. "

Is this true about the 22k files? GameGuru's stock charactersounds are 44.1k and all I have ever read from other users is to use 44.1k.
The footsteps have always been 22k though.
