Hi. Ok I think everyone is pretty much correct here. What direct x appears to have done if I'm figuring things right is took the whole thing and flipped it over on it's left side, and then rotated it 90 degrees to the right. It still makes sense now, it's just well backwards, but backwards.
I believe y is for up down in computer world because screens are 2d technically if I'm not off my rocker. That makes x on the screen left to right. So they just kept their x y on the screen as is and put z in to go front back instead of flipping them around. I'm as much trying to understand this as telling anyone how it is, so I might be wrong Lol -----Original Message----- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Saturday, June 26, 2010 12:48 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Important MOTA News Hi Damien, Shrug. Like I said that isn't the correct way to do it. Especially, if you want to give a 3d vector to DirectSound. If using DirectSound 8 x handles left/right movement of the sound, z handles the front/back movement of the sound, and y positions it up/down. So since that is how DirectSound handles it doing it any other way would definitely screw up where sounds are positioned in a virtual 3d audio environment. I can't really contribute anything more to the topic as that is just how things are regardless of what people may have told you otherwise. Smile.
