Hello!
I have a short question about the sound volumes, if anyone would be so kind as to help me :) So, basically, I have two sliders in-game in the options toolbar for music and sound effects. If the sliders change, I can set the volumes for overall music and overall sound effects all fine and dandy, and I've noticed that I can set them basically as defaults which will stay for all current and future play sessions. This is cool.
However, when another play session will be started, I have to set the sliders to the values that match the volumes that had been previously set. My question is: how do I do that?
I have searched around in the manual, and while there is a Game.SetAudioTypeVolume (which I'm using), there is no Game.GetAudioTypeVolume.
While thinking about a solution, I guess I could make my own separate config file and store in that the volumes, but is there a more elegant solution?
Thanks a lot! :)
You could back it up manually by storing the value in a variable after it has changed, or using the save game event. There might be a way to retrieve the volume settings that I'm unaware of, in that case forget what I said. :)
So you are making a game huh? :D
The only way I'm currently aware of to check volumes is via the System.Volume for the overall master volume (except speech which has a separate volume) and then the individual volumes of each channel via AudioChannel.Volume (System.AudioChannels could be used to loop through them).
A way to get the default volume for a specific audio type would be useful IMO.
