goboking Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I'm watching last night's Rhymes with Play stream and the guys were asked what concept they most regretted having to abandon. @jambell says his was a noise system, which frankly sounds awesome, but II can understand why it was scrapped. He goes on to say the overlay for the system looked great, so I hereby request a pic of said overlay, if one exists.

Gurgel Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 A noise overlay would have been the thing! Just imagine loud sleepers _everywhere_!

Yoma_Nosme Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 It's a pity. All the possibilities. Noisy machinery, a rocketlaunch. Waking everything... popped eardrums...the other way...ouch..soundproof material, of course...deaf as a dupe attribute to choose...It's space anyway, right?

SharraShimada Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I think, it was because performance. They already have so many things effecting other things, effecting dupes... Everything eats CPU-Power in huge amounts. Now imagine an additional system, emitting sound waves from every thing in the game that makes a noise, effecting the surrounding. In terms of executable code, its a mess and a horror for performance.

IIRC he said enough of the code might still be in there for a modder to do something with it.

It is. Spoiler And if enough of it isn't in the most current version, I have Pre-Thermal version 206776 if people want some of that old code.

Derringer Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 There's definitely at least a limited noise system still in place. Snores and sneezes make enough of a racket to disturb sleeping dupes, although the Loud Sleeper trait also confers immunity to most sleep disturbances. In Dwarf Fortress when last I looked the noise system completely disregards intervening objects. Constructing and deconstructing buildings makes noise as does the operation of a number of buildings, and harvesting lumber in particular raises a truly appalling racket.

Craigjw Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Dwarves should like noise though, they dream about bashing chunks of metal together. Surely any blacksmithing in an area should reduce a Dwarf's stress.
