Sound vs distance
 

So I've noticed that I'm having to zoom into my ships during combat in order to hear them fire and such. I'd rather not have to do that, so I was wondering if there was a sound distance variable that I could modify to correct this?

SoundEffects.txt

Try doing a search-replace, and change "Sound Max Distance := 200" to "Sound Max Distance := 1000"

Awesome!! Thanks SJ!

Ugh, please don't type in all caps...

This is a game, not 2001: A Space Odyssey. Who cares if sound doesn't travel in space? It makes combat more exciting.

Thanks SJ, this has been bugging me a little too.

And I bet a few of you noticed down at the bottom a few sounds unrelated to SE:V. Mission complete, mission fail, use shield capacitor, etc from Star Fury. I guess Aaron doesn't like deleting things http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Everybody just keeps an open comm channel, and you can listen in via radio. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Ooo, that way you can hear your enemies scream as they die.

If it’s via radio waves wouldn’t you be able to race ahead and hear them scream again, and again, and again…

You could record it and replay it...
Radio waves are photons, and naturally travel at the speed of light.
