Member Function Documentation

void sonus::Sound::initLevel	(	std::string	levelName,
		Level2D *	level
	)

Initializes the world by a given Level2D pointer. Looks for the configuration file of the level and analyzes it for the amount and types of sound source files and their paths alongside definitions of sound transitions.

Parameters:

	levelName	The name of the level to load. Used to identify the unique configurations file.
	level	The Level2D object containing all the essential world objects needed for initialization.

void sonus::Sound::update

(

Level2D *

level

)

Updates the world by a given Level2D pointer. The game application object triggers the update routines of all modules (including the sound) in a certain cycle.

In this routine the whole logic processing of sound is done:

• updates the listener (player)
• calculates the volumes of the sound sources depending on the player-to-portal distance, their defined ranges and transitionings
• manages low-pass filtering

Parameters:

level

The Level2D object containing all the essential world objects needed for initialization.

void sonus::Sound::endLevel

(

)

Stops all playing sources and mutes them.
