Hi all!
I have a question about the ambience playing when in a dungeon. It consists of several sounds like a door opening (gets me almost every time...), mad laughter, whispers, wind, creatures etc. Is this one track or sfx pulled at random? If it's a track, how can I access it (or the sfx for that matter)? I've installed Unity, but I'm not very good at navigating it and understanding code. Are all sfx called from the dagger.snd file?

Re: Q about dungeon ambience
"AmbientEffectsPlayer.cs" and "SoundClips.cs" should answer a decent amount of your question. The code is fairly explanatory due to the naming of the variables and such.

Re: Q about dungeon ambience
i was wondering if the sounds are actual or "ambience".
after i clear a dungeon i still hear stuff going on.
i dont like such sound design.
it will be nice, if some sounds are excluded from being ambience.
best will be, if there is no ambience track and every sound has a reason and an existing source

Some sounds can also come from monsters trapped in disconnected rooms...

Re: Q about dungeon ambience
disconnected rooms, is that a bug or a feature?
if its a feature, how do you get there?

Re: Q about dungeon ambience
It's not a "bug" in that it's behavior caused by anomalies in the coding or anything, but it's a "feature" of how the dungeons in the game were generated originally. There are a lot of rules to how dungeon "blocks" are connected to each other to make a functional dungeon by the games rules. Often this leads to non-viable connecting rooms, which inevitably leads to disconnected rooms from the rest of the functional dungeon blocks in that current dungeon set-up.
If you want to read more on how this works, this is a good resource: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:Dungeons

Re: Q about dungeon ambience
then, my wish above, for a better sound, have to wait, for my wish, for a better dungeon layout.
thanks

Re: Q about dungeon ambience
Would it be possible to make an ambient track in FMOD and implement it in DFU? Would it have to be like the music tracks to work?
