RE: [hlcoders] SetHearingOrigin and sound spatialization
Yeah, this feature was never completed. The actual up, right, and fwd vectors as passed down into the sound system, but they don't get used except in narrow circumstances. I'll see how hard it would be to hook them in and where the best spot would be -- or whether there is a workaround.

[hlcoders] SetHearingOrigin and sound spatialization
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I'm currently working on a mod where it is possible for players to walk on any surface. The basic code for this is done and works well, however I'm having trouble with sound spatialization. I've traced where the hearing origin/angle is set to the bottom of CViewRender::SetUpView. It is a call to the engine, engine-SetHearingOrigin. I've checked the values passed into the function, and they are correct (i.e. both are in world space). As far as I can tell, any roll in the view angles causes the sound spatialization to work incorrectly. Has anyone else noticed this behavior, and more importantly, has anyone found a possible solution? I'd be very unhappy if I had to code my own sound emitter system from scratch if I want properly spatialized sound. -- ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
