Hi

I have gathered and made some distant explosion sounds

Now I have an idea that I could simulate realistic sound travel to some extent but I need some help with preset files
I have made different sounds for explosions with different seconds of delay (and of course different sound respective to distance)

For example I have a sound for an explosion 600 meters away with 2 seconds of silence before the sound (I rounded the time/distance units for ease for now)
Now I would need to set it that it's audible from 600 meters up to around 1km, where another sound would be heard instead with 3 seconds of delay and so on
Of course I'd need to make the close up sound inaudible from 600 meters

Now I tried to learn from an old soundmod I had with pretty good distant sounds but only find stuff like these

Code: [Select]

[sample.exB.wav]
controls dist

[sample.exB.wav.dist]
minlo 10
minhi 2200
maxlo 3000
maxhi 6000
value 25
pmin  1.0
pmax  1.0
Afaik these values only control an engine sound depending on the RPM when the sample is set as controls rpm
Does it control volume in meters when set for controls dist?

For example, here's the preset file for big explosions
It's based on Victor's sound mod so credits for him

For now, I've only added the 600 meter sounds with no success

Also what do those usr numbers mean?
I've looked a lot for a detailed preset file instruction, but found very little information
