Prototype definitions » Prototype/AmbientSound

This prototype is used to make sound while playing the game. This includes the game's music, composed by Daniel James Taylor.

Prototype/AmbientSound — `ambient-sound`
name	::	string
sound	::	Sound
track_type	::	string
type	::	string
weight	::	double (optional)

Mandatory properties

type

Type: string
Specification of the type of the prototype. Must be "ambient-sound".

name

Type: string
Unique textual identification of the prototype.

sound

Type: Sound
The sound file and volume.

track_type

Type: string
This lets the game know in what instances the audio file is played.

The following types are recognized:

"early-game"
"main-track"
"interlude"
"late-game"
"menu-track"

"menu-track" is only played in the main menu. "early-game", "late-game" and "main-track" are all considered main tracks and played interleaved (alternating) with "interlude" tracks. "early-game" and "late-game" have no special effects compared to "main-track" meaning that are functionally the same.

Optional properties

weight

Type: double
Default: 1

Example

 {
   type = "ambient-sound",
   name = "world-ambience-4",
   track_type = "interlude",
   sound =
   {
     filename = "__base__/sound/ambient/world-ambience-4.ogg",
     volume = 1.2
   }
 },
