Examples of sound-events

Previous  Top  Next

Example 1:

Sound-event: Dragon

Key: D

Mode: 2 (Animals)

Sound-bank: There is only one file in this sound-bank: a giant dragon's cry!

=> After activation of the sound-event, a dragon's cry freezes the blood in the players' veins.

Stopping this event is only possible by hitting escape, it will stop automatically since it is not an "infinite" element.

Example 2:

Sound-event: Somber music

Key: G

Mode: 3 (Music)

Stop all: On

CD-playlist: The saddest CDs entered in CD Management are selected and played in random mode.

file-playlist: Many sad MP3 files on your hard-disk are also selected (in case there is no CD in your CD-drive).

=> After activation of this sound-event, a sad soundtrack is played with the tracks depending on inserted CD or selected MP3 files. After a track has ended, the next sad melody will be played.

Stopping: Hit escape or press the assigned key again (this music is an "infinite element").

Example 3:

Sound-event: Battle

Key: B

Mode: 4 (Battle)

Fade-in time: 30000 ms

Sound-bank: Different battle sounds have been implemented into this sound-bank (Screams, weapons, catapults, passing arrows, and crowds).

=> After activation of this sound-events the battle sounds are added to the sounds currently being played. The players are approaching the battle and the scenario fades in slowly over a 30 second period.

Stopping: Hit escape or press the assigned key again (this is an "infinite" sound-bank).

Example 4:

Sound-event: Spaceship take-off

Key: S

Mode: 5 (On the spaceport)

Delay (start): 2000 ms

Fade-in time: 10000 ms

Duration: 39000 ms

Fade-out time: 9000 ms

Sound-bank: A spaceship's buzzing

=> After 2 seconds, the swelling sound of spaceship engines is heard. After 30 seconds, it takes off and another 9 seconds later, it has disappeared in the sky.

Stopping: automatically/not possible (This is no "infinite element"); Hitting the escape key will always abort a sound-event, though.
