Getting audio type

[jeti140973]

Hm, do you guys know of a way to determine the "category" of an audio source? Ie. whether the audio source is part of the music, ambience, UI or spacecraft sounds? Reason I ask, is that my mod now lowers the volume of all sources gradually while ascending out of atmosphere, and gradually increases it as well when reentering atmosphere. It is a great effect, I think, but there is a problem. I need to keep the volumes within the settings set by the user in the main menu, so that music is not increases if the user has disabled all music. But then I need to know what type of audio source I am iterating through. Help appreciated :-)

Hope you get your answer -- your mod that removed all the audio except breathing was one of the best I've ever used and 0.21 hasn't been the same without it. I've been checking your old thread every day hoping to see an update.

You could adjust:

GameSettings.AMBIENCE_VOLUME = val
GameSettings.MUSIC_VOLUME = val
GameSettings.SHIP_VOLUME = val
GameSettings.UI_VOLUME = val
GameSettings.VOICE_VOLUME = val

And then apply changes with:

AudioFXSettings.Apply();

Just remember to save the original values from the GameSettings variables I mentioned and then restore them later.
