What each sound cue plays, how loud and how far. Read by the game client only: a change here changes how it looks or sounds, never how it plays.

File: assets/data/sounds.ron

About this file

What the client plays for each sound cue. Files are relative to assets/audio/; a cue with several picks one at random each time. Change a sound by changing its files here: the code only knows the cue names.

  volume   loudness at the source, 0..2 (1 = as recorded)
  pitch    playback speed is picked in this range each time (variation; 1 = as recorded)
  reach    metres at which it fades to nothing; it falls off with the square of the distance
  muffle   through a wall, shut door or window: this much of the volume, and low-passed
  voices   at most this many of the cue playing at once (the nearest win)

Ambience loops (Wind, Room, Crickets) and Bird are heard where the listener is; reach and muffle don’t apply to them. All placeholders from tools/audio/synth.py until the real sounds replace them.

Fields

The file is one SoundData.

Field	Type	What it is
`sounds`	`BTreeMap<Cue, SoundDef>`

`Cue`

Every sound the client knows how to play. sounds.ron gives each one its files.

`Gunshot`	A gun going off, and one being loaded. Placeholders made of sounds there already are (a door breaking played fast, a window shutting): the real ones come with #78.
`Reload`
`LightSwitch`	A light switch flicked.

`SoundDef`

One cue’s entry in sounds.ron.

Field	Type	What it is
`files`	`Vec<String>`	WAV files under `assets/audio/`; one is picked at random each time.
`volume`	`f32`
`pitch`	`(f32, f32)`	Playback speed range (pitch); picked each time.
`reach`	`f32`	Metres at which it fades to nothing.
`muffle`	`f32`	How much of the volume gets through a wall, shut door or window (and it’s low-passed).
`voices`	`u8`	At most this many playing at once.
