Random Offset and Master Volume
(August 2006 SDK
version 2.0
windows version 9.14.701.0
content version 40)
I have been using Xact for only a month or so but I have found some bugs (that i want to make sure are bugs and not just me being dumb.)
Master Volume:
I am trying to adjust the master volume of a track in the Sound Bank and it does not react. (at all). I have the volume at -96 and it plays at the same volume as if it were at 0.
Ideal uses for this feature:
-having all the sounds in a 'play wave' list be at a certain volume level. (so you don't have to re-normalize a bunch of waves.
is this a known error? will it work in game, just not in the xact tool? does anyone else have this problem?
Random Offset:
The tool that will randomly play something at different times. It should work (at least this was my understanding) that you have a sound and the next will loop will randomly play between X-Y times.
Ideal uses for this feature:
-when you have a bunch of bird chirps for ambiance and you want to trigger them off randomly between 0-120 seconds.
Currently, it is just waiting X seconds and then playing everything in the loop seamlessly (without a delay). Is there anyway to trigger things randomly in a loop? (the bird sequence for example?)
Any feedback will be great.
Thanks
