1. Sound propagation depends on the current loss values on the portal associated with a door. If you're hearing full volume after a reload, then the loss values must be zeroed. 2. The loss values are correctly saved across save/reload. It's possible that something in the reload code is zeroing the loss values after they've been restored. Once the door is opened and closed, the loss values are reset to correct values. But if that were the case, then as you move about the map after a reload, ALL sounds coming through doors would be at full volume. Is that happening? |

I'll do some more tests later today. |

I was just able to reproduce this in Too Late. Steps: 1. Start Too Late and go to the door just before the docks. Unlock the door, and save the game. You'll notice you cannot hear the waves. 2. Exit TDM, then start it again and load the game. You can now hear the waves from beyond the door. 3. Open and close the door. The waves are now gone again. |

I reproduced the problem in Too Late. I checked the player loss value on all portals while saving and restoring, and the values all match. Will need to debug the player sound code in the engine. Since I have to recreate my virtual desktop to renew my Visual Studio license, it will be a while before I have a solution for this. |

It works okay when you save and restore in the same session. It's when you load a saved game after restarting TDM that the problem occurs. |

After a door is restored from a savegame, it needs to tell the engine so that both AI and Player sound loss across the door’s portal can be restored. Engine data structures are not saved/restored, and depend instead on being rebuilt after a restore. BrittleFracture and FrobDoor both deal with sound loss across portals. BrittleFracture was telling the engine after its restore, but FrobDoor wasn’t. Also fixed a bug in the portal entity where the knowledge of whether its sound loss value was to be applied to AI or the Player or both was lost across a save/restore. Rev. 5813: FrobDoor.cpp Misc.cpp Misc.h Tested with “Too Late”. |

I assumed "a while" was going to be days or weeks, not hours. Thanks. :) |
