George, Gimli
I wanted to bring this up as it's IMO a decent alternative to ball roll sounds.
Monezzas did a tremendous job in the tables he's worked on and my personal favorite is Buccanneer. While playing the table, I was intrigued with the ball rolling sounds. They were nice and loud and while inconsistent i rather enjoyed them.
However when I was digging around the script, i noticed, well from the limited skimming i did, he wasn't using the zrbrolling sounds script method.
From what I saw it was a basic Sub script that called to a specific souond which happened to bequite loud. The sound is in the table as "ballroll" I think.
Wanted to see if you guys can look at it and see if this method can be incorporated to other tables. I tried testing it by copying and pasting that sub but i either placed it in the wrong part of the script or there's something more involved.
I know Gimli you had previously mentioned in the thread on this table you weren't too fond of it but i find it a quick and dirty way to get ball sounds in there.
I don't think I added dynamic flipper script to it but if I did maybe you 2 experts can tweak it a bit? I'm planning on making some more little upgrades ala Slam. Maybe add some new effects and possibly a subtle underlaying song that plays throughout. also I realized that most FP tables don't have a plunger pull sound. I added one I grabbed off a Charlie's angels table from VPX. I think you can hear it. I'm gonna gather all the ones I can then post them so they're available if anyone wants to incorporate them going forward.
Here's some gameplay i did this morning.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QtAnPxkD58Have you learned how to add smokes BAM ball rolling sounds to all tables ? I think that is the way to go.
Monezzas and others previously had ball sounds activated by hitting certain triggers and it had the following limitations.
1. Sound only when triggers are hit ( or delayed based on an activated timer....)
2. No modulation of sound intensity /frequency based on ball velocity.
BAM now allows sound:
1. On table
2. On ramps
3. When fall from ramps
4. When hitting objects
AND these sounds based on actual ball tracking and are modulated base on velocity
If you have problems let me know.
If you don't like the actual sounds...they can be changed very easily.
You simply add your desired sound (ie "DJsSound1" , "DJsRampSound") to the ZBRrollingballsoundslib library file and then
use it in the script as follows:
Code:
' === Ball Rolling FX ===
ExecuteGlobal LoadExternalScript ("ZBRrollingballsoundslib.vbs")
ZRBrampHeight = 40
ZRBtablewide = 516
ZRBsoundballchan = 7
ZRBvolNormLevel = 1
ZRBrollingSound="DJsSound1"
'ZRBPitchTunning=-40
ZRBrampSoundballchan = 8 'set to -1 to disable rampsound roll
ZRBrampVolNormLevel = 1
ZRBrampRollingSound="DJRampSound"
'ZRBrampPitchTunning=40
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
you can export the Sound files and amplify or enhance them with a free program such as Audacity...
