YoWindow Forum

What's new.

- Major internal changes.
I have changed a lot of internal code to make YoWindow run faster on mobile devices.
Please check if I did not break anything.

- FIXED: falling snow looks gray sometimes.
- FIXED: rain sound distortion

- Village: ambient sound for naked and winter seasons.
- Airport: ambient sound loop
- Thunderstorm sound
At the moment there's only one sample sound of thunder, so it sounds absolutely unrealistically.
We are going to add more samples soon.

The sound is in stereo as most sounds in YoWindow.
The thunder is delayed depending on the distance to the lightning as well as the volume.

How to play with thunder.
1. Run YoWindow in debug mode.
2. Go to main-menu/Debug/Debug Weather
3. Check "Thunder" mark and check "On" mark beside "Thunder".
That means that you want to override real thunder from the weather report and you want it on.
4. Check "Hold" mark if you want to keep thunderstorm after closing Debug Weather window.

Hello Par,

First impression positive after a fresh install. Just updating from b117 didn't resolve the sound distortion. Advice is to add a remark in your text when announcing a new Bèta version.
Thx, Max

As far as I know, the upgrading must resolve sound distortion problem.

By the way, RC means Release Candidate.

It didnt resolve the problem. Yes, it was harder to reproduce, but after some playing with the YoWindow soundvolume on max and the Windows volume high, low, high etc. I have the imression it only occurs during heavy rain. I uninstalled YoWindow and re-installed it and was not able to reproduce it.
I know the meaning of a RC. But wat is the meaning of the 'b' in the versionnumber?

"B" is for build.
So now you cannot reproduce the bad sound, correct?

Sorry to say. I thought so. But after some more testing the 'machinegun' returned. Also sometimes a 'diesel engine' sound is audible during heavy rain. A Loop?

Can you catch the way to reproduce it.
Can you find the sequence of actions that would lead to the bad sound case?
This help would be invaluable.

Difficult. Att, if you select Netherlands, Den Helder, go to Wednesday. Forecast heavy rain. Then play with the Windows volume in the right bottom corner. After a few seconds is starts. I don't hope it's soundcard related. Mine is Realtek.
Also noticed when i start an other program like what i'm doing now(typing) YoWindow stops(minimize) but after maximize again the distortion changes tone high. Somtimes higher, somtimes lower.

Did you hear it yourself in previous versions? If not, i can make a mp3 of it and attach it.

No, I cannot hear the problem with sound.
Please send the mp3, this will help me a lot.
