Spatial Audio System
A mod for playing your own audio files inside the world. You write audio onto a recording medium, then play it from a playback device over a range you define — departure melodies, in-building announcements, background music.
Parts
| Part | Role |
|---|---|
| Memory Device | Writes an audio file (mp3 / ogg / wav) from your PC onto a recording medium |
| Recording Medium | The item that carries the audio; put it in a playback device to hear it |
| Playback Device | Plays a medium — one at a time, or several in order via the ♪ Schedule |
| Range Board | Defines where the sound is audible and how it fades |
The basic flow
- Place a Memory Device, right-click it, and pick an audio file with Select File
- Put an empty recording medium in the input slot and press the write button
- Move the finished medium into the Playback Device's media slot
- Set a range with the Range Board and put it in the device's range slot
- Press ▶. To play several in order, use the ♪ Schedule
Hints and F1
Turn on the Hint toggle in the top-right of any screen: hovering an element then shows a description in the lower left. With that on, pressing F1 opens the wiki page for that feature. The 📖 button opens the page for the screen you are on.
Access mode (public / private)
The first player to open a device becomes its owner. Clicking the face icon switches between public (green) and private (red); while private, nobody but the owner can open it.
