Hi Phil, As Willem and I were just discussing off list the issue is that FMOD and DirectSound use two completely different mathematical scales to pan sounds and control volume. DirectSound uses a Linear scale to roll off where FMOD, OpenAL, and XAudio2 use a Logarithmic scale to roll off. What I'm going to have to eventually do is create a linniar to Logarithmic converter which will allow me to pan sounds similar to DirectSound but convert them to a Logarithmic setting. Its probably not that hard to do, but I wanted to see how well the new engine worked in general before attending to these miner issues like this.
Of course, as usual the winers and complainers decided to focus on this one single issue and run with it. They are making a bigger deal out of this than it marets. The game is certainly playable as is, and eventually I'm certain I'll find a decent conversion from DirectSound to FMOD. It just requires a bit of patients and understanding from the community at large. I'm getting neither. Instead I'm getting swamped with moaning, growning, and complaining about it. That's not helping things. Cheers!
