PSA: You can improve Blockland sound by updating OpenAL32.dll

[honytawk]

And this does not have any drawbacks at all?
I mean, if Badspot didn't update it 10 years ago, maybe there is a reason.

It being obvious for you doesn't make it obvious for everyone else

I could've sworn I told you too ya silly

this may be a thing, there's no telling what this might do to your game when you update it.
im not updating it because i slightly enjoy that when you use the /alarm it forgets you up big time.

[Masterlegodude]

I think this makes it a little bit harder to hear just how close or far a sound is, but i haven't noticed anything else

It only happens to the client so I guess you like to hear the ear rape while everyone else is updated

[gr8dayseth]

[Darksaber2213]

[skill4life]

this is probably related to this, but my sounds are changing.
people connecting is now the brick turn sound, alarm changed to wrench
possibly a side effect of installing this lol, hasnt happened before

I've actually noticed this too after playing on a server for a while and then hosting my own

Will require some looking into

[Kyuande]

I'm guessing the sounds switch if the server use the new openal? I don't have these issues yet

[joe411]

This should be included in an update.

[Nymph]

So, when you select OpenAL in the audio driver selection and hit done, it appears to sort of randomize some of the sound files? Every time I do that, it associates different sounds with different actions.

This is a deal breaker for me.


Maybe it has something to do with the audio cache.
