Re: We are developing a fps audio game using 3D sound (HRTF)
Hi Sanslash.I admit I too had a bit of trouble figuring out if HRTF was indeed working at first. As far as I can tell that info tool doesn't actually seem to work, it still tells me "No HRTFs found". In the end the only way I was able to make absolutely certain that it was working was by querying the HRTF status within my actual program and having it print out to the console. This might be somewhat inconvenient for you if you don't typically write in Java and don't already have the latest LWJGL nightly build but the best I can do is paste you some code to run in your Java IDE of choice which will let you know for certain if you do indeed have HRTF installed.import org.lwjgl.BufferUtils;import org.lwjgl.openal.*;import org.lwjgl.openal.SOFTHRTF;import static org.lwjgl.openal.ALC10.*;import static org.lwjgl.system.MemoryUtil.*;import java.nio.ByteBuffer;import jav
a.nio.IntBuffer;public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { long device = alcOpenDevice((ByteBuffer) null); if (device==NULL) { throw new IllegalStateException("Error: failed to open the default device"); } ALCCapabilities deviceCaps = ALC.createCapabilities(device); IntBuffer contextBuf = (IntBuffer) BufferUtils.createIntBuffer(3).put(new int[]{SOFTHRTF.ALC_HRTF_SOFT, ALC_TRUE, 0}).flip(); System.out.println("OpenALC10: " + deviceCaps.OpenALC10); System.out.println("OpenALC11: " + deviceCaps.OpenALC11); System.out.println("caps.ALC_EXT_EFX = " + deviceCaps.ALC_EXT_EFX); &
nbsp; System.out.println("\nNum HRTF specifiers = 2: " + (alcGetInteger(device, SOFTHRTF.ALC_NUM_HRTF_SPECIFIERS_SOFT) == 2)); long context = alcCreateContext(device, contextBuf); alcMakeContextCurrent(context); System.out.println("Sample rate: " + alcGetString(device, SOFTHRTF.ALC_HRTF_SPECIFIER_SOFT)); int response = alcGetInteger(device, SOFTHRTF.ALC_HRTF_STATUS_SOFT); System.out.println("HRTF enabled: " + (response == SOFTHRTF.ALC_HRTF_ENABLED_SOFT || response == SOFTHRTF.ALC_HRTF_REQUIRED_SOFT)); System.out.println("HRTF state: 0x" + Integer.toHexString(response)+ "\n"); AL.createCapabilities(deviceCaps); alcDestroyContext(context); &
nbsp; alcCloseDevice(device); }}I hope this is helpful.

Re: We are developing a fps audio game using 3D sound (HRTF) The standard OpenAL implementation does not support HRTF as far as I know, but the OpenAL Soft software implementation does. You can download it here. With OpenAL Soft you should be able to enable HRTF in all games that use OpenAL for sound.

Re: We are developing a fps audio game using 3D sound (HRTF) Thanks Jones, good question. There are a few rules we follow when designing levels to make navigation as straightforward as possible. Firstly environmental/ambient space station sounds are almost always placed near doors, so that the player should be able to navigate the level fairly easily by simply following these atmospheric sounds. You can hear doors open when you are in range of them, and they close behind you once you have passed through, indicating that you have successfully left that room/passage. The levels are also designed to guarantee a lot of looping back and forth between areas, so if the player is paying attention he/she can easily get a good impression of the layout of the rooms and passages. We also make sure that each individual room or passage is fairly small, so it's not really possible to get hopelessly lost since there's not too much room to get lost in. The game is going more for an arcade-like approach than a strictly realistic one, we don't generally place sounds in rooms just for the effect alone. Chances are if you can hear a sound, it's been strategically placed there to guide you.That said it is possible to get a bit confused at times and find yourself bumping into walls, but the game makes it very clear to you when this is happening by having your character make a recognisable "umph" sound, which I suppose could be considered a virtual cane of sorts. When this does happen, one should simply walk backwards or strafe out of that position and try to re-orientate him or herself.

Re: We are developing a fps audio game using 3D sound (HRTF)
Re: We are developing a fps audio game using 3D sound (HRTF) Are you planning on implementing anything in particular to aid with navigation (EG sonars, virtual canes, sonifiers), or is that handled by environmental sounds and such?Something I've noticed is that the ability to snap to the cardinal directions is an excellent substitute for the ability to visually align to walls and the like, but it does somewhat clash with the idea of making the experience as immersive as possible. In reality, a blind person would align either to things they can touch, or things with an obvious and consistent direction (traffic, the sun, the fact that that army of crickets is probably in grass and not on the road, etc). I've found that doing it that way in audio games is trickier than reality (and in reality it's easier to misestimate how much you've turned); realistic virtual echolocation still isn't available, and if we're aligning by touch, we don't get to move arms or legs or canes to do so, so it's more like bumper-cars. So if there aren't obvious environmental sounds to align to (and sometimes even then, depending on the soundscape), I generally find it easy to get hopelessly lost.I wouldn't suggest any method in particular, just that whatever it is, it's reasonably intuitive to the majority of players. (Disclaimer: I'm bad at picking methods which are intuitive to the majority of players.)

Re: We are developing a fps audio game using 3D sound (HRTF) Hi guys! Nice to see we already have a few interested folks!We are planning on releasing a trailer to showcase the game real soon. I'll definitely keep you guys posted and let you know when that's available for listening.The game is being written in Java using LWJGL to access the OpenAL API. The 3D sound simulation is made possible entirely by the HRTF functionality present in the OpenAL Soft implementation. If you've ever listened to that virtual barbershop thing, that's basically the experience you'll get when playing the game. Stuff that's behind you will sound like it's behind you and you won't have much trouble figuring it out since it all seems pretty natural. It's actually pretty cool stuff so do read up on it here if you're at all interested.I just realised that I never even gave the name of the game haha, it's Blacksp ace. Most of the sounds we are using in game have been sampled directly from the original Quake game, as well as a couple sounds downloaded from freesound.org.Keep on posting folks!

We are developing a fps audio game using 3D sound (HRTF) First of all, apologies to all if this is the incorrect place to post this topic, I believed this to be the right place.As the topic says, we are a small team of developers/students from Cape Town South Africa who are currently developing a first person shooter audio game that features fully simulated 3 dimensional sound. The 3D sound capabilities are achieved through the use of the OpenAL Soft implementation of the OpenAL 3D audio API, specifically making use of the HRTF functionality.The game plays much like the original Doom video games developed by id Software in the nineties, although with less emphasis on shooting, and more on exploration of maze-like levels with some horror elements included. The player can move and rotate in any direction on the horizontal plane. That is to say that you can move forwards and backwards and side to side, but you may not look or move up and down.The game is currently in the final stages of development, and we are planning to release it some time in mid-October. We will be distributing the game on a donation basis from our dedicated website, which is not yet live at this time. All donations received will go directly to the Cape Town Society for the Blind.We are planning on releasing the game as open-source, and have constructed the game to be as mod friendly as possible. The levels are created in a floor-plan format using text-files, where certain characters represent different objects within the game (e.g '|' = wall, 'Z' = zombie). This means that anyone will quickly and easily be able to create their very own levels and play them, should they wish to do so.Below is a link to the Cape Town Society for the Blind website, as well as my email address if you'd like to contact me directly for whatever reason. Cape Town Society for the Blind: http://ctsb.co.za/My email: jackfor...@gmail.comPlease do let us know wha t you think, and watch this space for updates. Oh and feel free to read the cheesy game-play scenario below. You take on the role of a lone survivor stranded on an abandoned space station where some sort of horribly catastrophic event has taken place, resulting in the deaths of all other personnel. You must navigate your way through the labyrinthine hallways of the space station, searching for key cards and fighting off all manner of foul creatures, in order to reach the last remaining escape pod. Armed with your trusty shotgun, you are ready to do what it takes to survive.
