Hi all,


I'm looking for a way to get a fade in when playsound et and fade out when stopsound, can i achieve this with lua scripts or differently ?

You can't modify the played sound with Lua, use AudaCity or any other music editor.

Nope, you would have to do what Krock suggested and add fades to the beginning and end of your sound, but that doesn't help if it needs to stop in the middle and fade out.

I added fading to the client side sounds in my fork but I had to modify the openal class. So it's possible with modifications to the engine. It would be a nice thing to have on the lua side, something that could be used instead of playsound and stopsound.

minetest.fadeinsound("sound")
minetest.fadeoutsound("sound")

I created a pull request that would add fading sounds in and out to the modding api.
