OH NO TALUS....... STOP THIS!!!! YOU HAVE GONE MAD OR SOMETHING!!! No really great find, just have to make it sound like you are out of your mind again.

Pretty much what you're doing is screwing with the sound effects in-game. I believe this can be done via the sound settings, can it not?

Re: Improve EAX effects in BF2!! (finally)

hey Talus, nice find.. does it give us finally the "sonar" sound in menu?

Re: Improve EAX effects in BF2!! (finally)

Haha, nice hint at the end of sound.con.

rem ** Number of MB we require from the OpenAL provider. Some native drivers
rem ** can't always give us that (Creative).
sound.setProperty required-buffer-size 90

@KingOfKhaos: I WISH this could be done via the sound settings. All you get for game sound options are hardware vs software (i.e. 3d surround vs 2d stereo), # of channels, EAX on/off, and volumes for sounds, music, and voice.

These tweaks let you play with some very advanced audio details regarding the balance between 2d audio effects and 3d audio effects, reverb level and other parameters, doppler, and a bunch of things I haven't figured out yet.

@bosx2: You will only hear the 'sonar' sound in menu when you are actually inside a building that would cause you to hear EAX effects while playing.

Go into a building where you get some nice reverb, and then go to the menu. Voila.

Odd...

We're still playing around...and if we come up with some better tweaks, I'll post here.

Would these setting make any difference for Audigy 2 cards that are using the X-FI drivers??

[Talus]

Re: Improve EAX effects in BF2!! (finally)

Yup. Of course.

I replaced my Bf2openal.dll with the one from creative and it makes my computer reboot. Good thing i backed up the original openAL.

[Talus]

Re: Improve EAX effects in BF2!! (finally)

Yeah, lots of people have that problem. I use the original BF2OpenAL.dll personally. I don't have an Audigy 2 so I don't think it works well for me anyway.

sound.setProperty "balance2d3d-default" 0.8
sound.setProperty "balance2d3d-eax" 0.8

Do these settings just make the sound of your own gun softer?

[Talus]

Re: Improve EAX effects in BF2!! (finally)

They adjust the balance between 2d and 3d sounds.

So yes, they will make the sound of your gun softer and the sound of the ambient and 3D/EAX effects louder.

If you want your guns to be loud, leave it at 0.5
