Salty's Forest Symphony

Pet the floppa to buy me a coffee!

 

Forest Symphony is a mod from my Symphony mod series.

⚠MISOPHONIA TRIGGER⚠
⚠Some of the sounds are loud by default and can jumpscare you⚠ 

This mod does this:

And more!!

 

Forest Symphony aims to give a bit more life to the VS world using ambient sounds. The mod sounds are dynamically affected by various system such as seasons, weather, day/night cycle and temperature.

Is your homestead surrounded by trees and ponds? Then spend the night cooking a delicious meal listening to the dynamic natural symphony this mod provides.

A stroll through the forest has never been so pleasing, just make sure you don't get too tangled inside foliage or insects might want to follow you.

Careful chopping down trees, you may startle birds in the area!

Stronger winds? birds go quiet making way to the beautiful chord of creaky bark, even from your own house!

Warmer regions to south have more insects and exotic birds activity, colder regions have fewer insect and pond activity, fewer bird singing and boreal bird sounds will sing instead. A temperate region will have a mix of both exotic and boreal birds. 

frogs croaking, birds singing, owls hooting, crickets buzzing and trees creaking! Everything changing dynamically around you based on envirnment and weather!!

This mod runs entirely on client.

This mod is entirely configurable, you don't like something? You can tweak it in the confgs, or get rid of it! Sounds are also safe to remove from the assets! You can even set your own ogg file on top of mine if you feel like doing so! You do need to name then like mine tho.

 

You should definitely check the other symphony mods:

Note: Hey guys, caves and other biomes are probably going to be for another mod, I would love to keep developing on this one but the file size is getting bigger and bigger cause of sound files and I would hate to get stuck mid development by size limit. K love yall bye <3

 

ROADMAP:

(and notes to self)

• Refine forest detection algorithm. Add detect ponds, srhubs for insects like mosquitoes and more.
• Figure out a way to make sounds trigger even in indoors conditions, and very tall forest trees.
• Indoor sounds trigger witha muffled effect.
• Stronger winds increases wood creak sound rate and decreases bird sound rate.
• Add more fauna sounds. (Frogs and insects sounds etc..).
• Add flora ambience (wood cracking etc... This one is not even that necessary Vintage story already does a pretty damn good job with ambience)
• specific sounds for specific seasons and forest types.
• Expand to other "biomes". Plains, sand/gravel deserts etc.. (they'll have a standalone mod for each)
• Fine edit sounds. (Clean audio and remove background unwanted noise and other minor inconveniences that comes with free audio effects)
• Add config file with ability to add, tweak and customize sounds for user preference.
• Enclosed spaces with vessels (cellars) produces rat noises. (For another mod)
• Cavern Ambience: Dripping water, Distant rock falls etc. (For another mod)
