Slamming door vs closing it gently

[sabocano]

I saw a few posts complaining about the character slamming the doors shut, making a lot of noise. I hate it as well, I think it totally kills the atmosphere.
If it's already half way open, then I can close it slowly but if I opened it all the way, then the character just slams it.

but then I saw a post stating that it is possible closing the doors gently. If it is, can somebody describe how to?

Well if it's not available in the game, they ABSOLUTELY NEED to patch it. I hate it this way.

As far as I know you can only gently open them? If you can gently close them I went through the whole game slamming all the doors

I haven't played it yet since I'm waiting for Amnesia AMFP to be released before I do, but thinking about it, being able to slam doors as well as to open them gently would create a nice opportunity for a disctraction providing you are able to move quickly enough afterwards.

You can't close a door gently unless you're in the process of opening it gently. Flawed design choice really

I agree. Considering the situation and setting, being able to close doors quietly only makes sense. I was kinda annoyed when I discovered that it's not currently possible to do so in-game.

He slams it like a boss too, he just don't care lol

I agree with this. I think the main reason it was done is because there really isnt any reason to shut doors behind you other than when you're running away, in which case you basically slam it in their faces.

Shutting them any other time just results in the guys opening it again when they walk by. Doesn't hinder them at all. And in real life if a patrolling dude walks by a door that was once open, and sees it closed, he's gonna know someone walked into the room behind it (though in a majorly stealth game that would be sweet, having enemies that consciously aware would have me shutting random doors just so they would check it out and let me run by).

I know this is not good, i have the same issue, i hope they will make something like in amnesia with a patch ? It would be nice to gently open/close doors. And regarding the noise of closed doors you can change the level of noise by closing a door.

You can gently open them.

what do you mean? you are in a room and making noise, if you close the door, the monsters won't hear your noise?
but what about that huge slam, won't they hear it?

I think the reason for slamming doors comes down to when your being chased you dont want him to slowly push the door closed when your trying to use it to slow down your enemies. But having the option would definetly be nice, because 90% (when your not running from someone) you want him to gently close the door.

Yep, i think so, there are some settings about the doors.
DoorOpenInstantLoudness=0.6
DoorOpenPartialLoudness=0.4
DoorCloseLoudness=0.3
DoorEnterLockerLoudness=0.2
DoorExitLockerLoudness=0.2
DoorRunThroughLoudness=1.0

You could try to increase them alot and try them out, see if a monster hears you.

wow.

they thought of these noise levels thoguh opening a door instantly is 0.6 and slamming the door is 0.3
that's just some bull.

I really hope there is a patch for this, which allows us to close the door slowly with low noise levels or shut it instantly & loudly.
