Why use that rocking tune just for Betelgeuse, and not for all giant branch stars?

This is "work in progress". I even didn't implement script parser yet.

I like how you'll be able to select music for certain individual objects, even if you made them! This may be the feature i'm looking forward to most in 0.97.1... also, you should put music for Black Holes and Asteroids too! I really like Lokijar's music and you should use more of it!




I will be inactive on this forum for the time being. Might come back eventually

Telepathy?

I think there's only a few simple solutions for a problem, that's why we had the same idea.

By the way, will there be sounds depending on the distance from an object, on depending on the proximity from its rings ?





Want some music of mine ? Please go here !

I seriously doubt that things are coded to that level of complexity in this version, and SE really doesn't need those features right now. Things like ring distance detection, astrosphere and magnetosphere boundaries and bow shocks, radiation belts, lightning, etc., are all not necessary right now and should be focused on later.

For now, as far as sound effects are concerned, we should assemble a library of authentic space sounds for use in SE and start a project to turn them into useful ambient sound effects (edit them so they loop smoothly and sound good). This can be a good community project.

I made switching based on distance to object - a bit greater then autopilot final distance. There two types of "music selectors" - by object name (Earth, Saturn, Sun etc), and (if name not found) - object type (red dwarf, red giant, gas giant, desert etc.). There probably must be amne additional parameters for object type selector, or more selectors (desert -> hot desert, warm desert, cool desert, cold desert etc).

Wow, that's perfect.
The last thing that is missing is a switching depending on the latitude, for if you are above the equator of a ring planet, you hear a sound related to it's rings.

SpaceEngineer, there must be some kind of "inertia" between switchin from place to place, either proportional one or linear. For example, if you quick switch from star to planet, the music simply going to switch from "star music" to "planet music" AND back. That might be not very comfortable, probably.

As well, I think, there might be useful one "basic" layer of sounds, based on immediate proximity to objects, like in NASA Voyager Space Sounds, without inertia, just to add some atmosphere in-game. Probably I should do some work to illustrate it, make a video or something.

Now I want alteration of sound attributes based on atmospheric properties dry

It uses a 20 seconds delay. Ie if music plays less than 20 seconds, it will not switch.

Will it switch to a more appropriate music automatically after 20 seconds or will it continue to play the first song until the first change after 20 seconds?

It's probably safe to assume the former.

You ask such questions if I am a manual for good old software. This player is under development, and algorithms may change 100 times until release!
