Patch Notes #103 - Spatial Skill Sound Effects & Fight Line Colors

All damage skill sound effects are played using spatial audio! "Spatial audio" refers to sounds placed in a three dimensional space. It requires a "listener" to hear the audio, and a "source" to emit the audio. Listeners and sources both have a 3D position and direction, and sources have additional settings for specifying how the sound should propagate in the 3D space.

In FO2 the listener position is set to your characters position and the source position is set to the damage target's position. The source also is set to currently be at default volume from 1-64 pixels from the target, falls off from 64-512 pixels, and is silent past 512 pixels. This will possibly be changed to use the viewport size in the future.

All damage skills now have visual effects and sound effects that play on the target. We continue to work on finding and commissioning more visual effects and sound effects to cover other skill types like buffs, healing, and teleports. All damage skill sound effects currently in the game are attached to this post.

Gamer's Patch Notes

  • Ported the character window to GUIWindowDynamic aka mobile.

  • Ported character window factions tab to GUIWindowDynamic aka mobile.

  • Fixed a bug where the factions tab would not show newly discovered factions until you refreshed.

  • Fixed the iOS project bug with Apple's help.

  • Partially fixed screen rotation bug that let you rotate to portrait and play the game. It's an issue internally with React Native so I may be lock the whole app to landscape in the future.

  • Remove the skill point to button grey lines and adjusted everything in the character window equip tab to fit into the standard window height.

  • Ported character window equip tab to GUIWindowDynamic aka mobile.

  • Ported character window outfit tab to GUIWindowDynamic aka mobile.

  • Ported character window mobs tab to GUIWindowDynamic and GUIScrollList aka mobile.

  • Fixed a bug with the mobs tab where some mobs don't have a zone id.

  • Player leaderboard has been ported to GUIWindowDynamic aka mobile.

  • Guild leaderboard has been ported to GUIWindowDynamic aka mobile.

  • Fixed a bug where certain characters would break the Collector.

  • Oh no, that's why I can't lock the app to landscape... https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/36869 waiting for a fix...

  • Boom headshot final animation added.

  • Added playback for skill target sound effects.

  • Boom headshot sound effect added and turned on.

  • Added support for spatial sound effects.

  • All skill sound effects fall off between a distance of 64 to 512. They are silent past 512 so you won't hear any combat sound effects if you're far away from someone fighting.

  • Sound effect toggle in the Settings window now effects skill sound effects as well.

  • All damage skills now have both a visual effect and a sound effect that play on the target.

  • A lot of this long term GUI refactoring has lead to finally removing some very old nasty files. Awesome.

  • Bag bar slots are now vertical on the right side of the screen on mobile.

  • Added Relic and Mount slots to the equip window.

  • Added Relic and Mount slots server side.

  • Added Fight Line slot to outfit window and server side.

  • Added Fight Line color customization code to client and server.

  • Fixed a few bugs I introduced with all this refactoring.

  • Sound effect volume default is now 50% instead of 70%.
