I'm also getting log spam when I use debug mode. Not sure if it's all about sounds, but there definitely are mutiple errors with Birds sound mentioned.

Haven't personally gotten this issue, but large Player.log files is a known issue when modding Rimworld, and I can see how this mod could cause it. Since it seems to be an internal issue within the Unity engine, there doesn't seem to be anything I could do to fix it.

If you get this issue and don't care about the contents of Player.log (which is just debug and error messages produced by the game), there's an easy workaround - setting Player.log file to be read-only.

On Windows, the file is located at C:\Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios. Open Properties and set the attribute to be Read-only.

Yeah, the FMOD error is caused by too many sounds being played at once. Increasing minimum bird distance to 30 fixed this issue for me.

Typically the audio would just cut off in this situation, so it might be an Unity bug present in this specific version.

I also got 50+ GB log files. It spams such like this:
Error executing m_FMODChannel->setFrequency(m_Pitch * m_DopplerPitch * m_BaseFrequency) (The specified channel has been reused to play another sound. )
After I disabled this MOD, the errors are gone (for the moment I guess)
Maybe to much sounds at once in a big colony.

@vartarhoz How is that possible? your game isnt running anymore so how is it still throwing you error logs lol..

Beware any sound mod especially in older hardware will stuck in error loop after quitting game, PC will continuously write error log until your hard-drive fills. Since removing all audio mods, I no longer get Fmod error and also don't have 50 gb Player.log.

For some reason I get an error when using the mod settings menu when clicking on a sound to preview it.
Here's the error : https://pastebin.com/q92wuC7B

The campfire noise is extremely quiet, I think it could benefit from a buff.

Great work so far in updating this mod! I was wondering however if you might take a look into something. When this mod is installed with a mod that makes rivers freeze over in the winter, such as Water Freezes (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3278128973) , the sound effect for rivers does not stop when the river is completely frozen over. Other than that, the mod works beautifully!

This is amazing, I love the birds, You did such a good job making it bit stand out too much

LMAO that was quick! You just made history my guy!!

I added sounds for social interactions and fighting, which for reasons I have decided to make it a separate mod...

"Realistic Pawn Sounds"
Dunno any good sound effects, so I just decided to meme it

@TrueBlueSwablu haha yea the Social Interaction sounds would be the Holy Grail for this mod. Imagine having pawns say some random "The Sims" greeting when talking. Truly EPIC!

@Garwel
Hard for me to debug that based on that error alone. If you want to help pinpoint the issue (assuming its with the mod/mod interaction), could you try disabling sound effects in the mod option window and see if there's one that triggers it?

Lol, my Rimworld hasn't willingly shut down in like a year.

On exiting game to desktop, it freezes, and the log is spammed with this line:

C:\buildslave\unity\build\Modules/Audio/Public/sound/SoundChannel.cpp(393) : Error executing m_FMODChannel->stop() (The specified channel has been reused to play another sound. )

When I remove Ambient Rim, this issue disappears. Admittedly, I have 180+ mods in my list, so it may be some weird interaction, but wanted to report it in case you know what causes it.

Social interactions sounds like an amazing idea, will try to implement that when I get back into modding. I think steam geysers already has an existing (albeit not very noticeable) sound.

Sound suggestions: Steam Geyser.
Also it would be very cool if pawns made some sounds when socialize, although I'm not sure if that is as easy as with other sounds in this mod. You might find useful the patch [github.com] that one person made for Musical Instruments mod, as it adds a sound for pawn activity.

Thanks for the speedy update ! It now runs like a charm =)
Cheers !

@Tenshigaki
Should be fixed!

@AuntyDonna
Great idea

Hello ! I'm having an issue with the mod (which became essential for me, so quite a bummer) ;

I get a massive lagspike (Game freezing completely for 1-3sec) every in-game morning at 7am.
Only have this issue on an Extreme Desert Coastal map. (Doesn't occur on non-coastal extreme desert for exemple)

I'm assuming your mod is updating the map's layout every morning for potential sound sources ? (I have 0 knowledge on the subject so just speculating)
No errors logged whatsoever

I've a very lite and vanilla-ish modlist (Even tho that does'nt mean much for incompatibilities/conflicts, but hey, i'm clueless)

Besides that, excelent mod, ty for sharing, Have a good day !

yeah i tried finding a mod for this, I think there used to be one but i dunno i cant find one

if only there really was crashing waves

I am noticing that on loading into a new map I have to flip through the settings again to get the sounds to start up. Has happened several times. I have quite an extensive list, and your mod still works, but I figured I would point that out.

as one man said "beauty of life is made from little things" and this is the little but important thing

Thanks, this is a nice enhancement.

I do not use Camera+ due to the issues it causes and found the ambient levels just about right.

I do feel like some sounds should be specific to certain types of biomes.. or maybe something like if a tree has no sand or whatever tiles within so many cells then it will make bird sounds?

Suggestion: Change the bird sound that plays near trees to the call of an eagle or something on desert biomes. Would fit better

Couldn't figure out why the previous null corpses bug were happening, so I switched to a different method. Hopefully this fixes the issue.

@🛬O•N•I🐾Fans🪂
I hover around:
Bird distance- 10
Volume Change- 50
Sound Range Change- 0 (sometimes I go lower here)
Insect/Cricket Sounds- 5 (don't think I've touched this)

Also I use Waves sound 2 and River sound 2 which might impact volumes?

What are recommended sound settings for game without Camera+ mod?

Why sometimes he is not working when I load my save? A try to fix it in mods settlings... no results :(

Here's the pastebin of the exception I am having. It's very infrequent, I just assume it's trying to spawn flies audio on a buried corpse https://pastebin.com/XpCZhyYG

you are a massive chad and I hope the next intercourse you have is the most voluptuous and exalting

@MarximusMaximus
Yeah that's a known error and should be fixed in the update two days ago.

@Sam_
I need log files to debug that if its still occurs

Apparently causing infinite "Teleporting to Labyrinth" loading screen according to:

@AuntyDonna

The issue is caused by the mod "Ambient Rim". In line 907 of the log, it throws an error during generation of the Labyrinth map.

You could look for the Player.log file in your Rimworld directory and manually upload it to some sharing service like http://paste.gg

When I tried to load the save and port into the labyrinth again I got the bug again xD
Which for me is being stuck on an infinite loading screen. There's no way I can get a hugslib log in that situation, right?

I'm getting a null reference exception with the new flies near rotting corpses at my graves. Nothing game breaking, just letting you know

Amazing thank you!

This is a mod I never realized I wanted

No problem! Just checked it, event didn't disappear. Many thanks!

Thanks for reporting the bug. Should be fixed

@TrueBlueSwablu here I made community post, where I put log and some video of the same issue if you still need

https://steamcommunity.com/app/294100/discussions/0/6361972497303249049/

@Sm4ck - I can't replicate the issue but I did change something that could of caused the issue. If it still occurs, I need more detail (like a log or something)

This mod brakes Distress Signal quest. Null reference exception on adding sound to something

Ooo awesome!

Thank you for the update! Something seemingly small makes the rim a thousand times better! love your work!

thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! finally

Thank you for the update homie

Updated to 1.5 along with new sounds:
* Buzzing flies near rotting corpses
* Summer cicadas near grass

Yes
