This mod adds new sounds to torches.
if placing/removing a torch a "swush" sound is played.

Continuos sound is removed because of some engine issues

A nice mod that adds some ambience, thanks. These are the sort of subtle features which continue to make Minetest better all the time :)

I have some more ideas like this.

what is the license of this "mod"?

Edit: same for the audio files, I can't find any license info.?

Will be DWYWPL or something similar. Will add more informations soon

Add some more informations and reduced the length of the burning sound to 20 seconds. Attached the new file to the first post

I tried my mod with the Karsthafen map. There are lots of default torches. There is a bug if the 3d torches mod has to convert the torches first. And if there are many torches I get an out of memory warning.

I also add a random delay in the lbm becaus it sounds strange if many torches are "ignited" at nearly the same time

Is there a limit of playable sounds in mintest?

yes.

exemple: in old MT version (4.6 i think) i started a fire in a forest (IMMA PIXEL ARSONIST!!) and, after a while i got some error about sounds, huge and strange noises and then silence....

add a range for listening sounds (15 nodes is perfect) and you will not have problems ;)

Well, that does not work with my solution. If I set eg max_hear_distance=5, then only torches near to the player will play a sound. The other torches remain silent.

I guess I have to find another solution. Maybe I try "find_nodes_in_area" to turn the sound on and the node timer to turn the sound off. As long as the node is near the player the timer will reset every few seconds

what's the problem? only players can hear sounds, so it's useful to play them when torches are near you, no?

You make the same mistake as I did. max_hear_distance is the distance between sound and player, where you can hear the sound when you execute sound_play. So if the player is within the radius, when sound_play is executed, he can hear the sound, otherwise not.

Try yourself. Set all max_hear_distance to 2. Then place a torch inside the radius. You can hear the sound, even if you walk away. Then place a torch outside the radius. You don't hear a sound, even if you get closer to the torch

max_hear_distance is not the distance you can hear a sound or not. It is the distance where sounds are added to the node or not.

Hope you understand what I mean. My english is not so good

ok i totally understand

This mod conflicted with the torches (3d torches) mod.

I only tested it with the latest version of sofars mod (see first post). There is a known issue if the torches mod has to convert default torches to 3d torches.

Because of other issues I will rewrite the code.

My torch sound mod is back, but a little bit simpler for now. I removed the continuous sound because of some engine issues.

I just replace the dig and replace sound for now

it's a bit sad. AFAIK minetest always got problem with looping sounds
