Hey folks, after working few weeks on the update, v1.3 update is finally here! We have exciting updates in this update!
Firstly, i would like to talk about SFX Quality Update in v1.3
MetaAudio for Half-Life: Restored
In this update, we'd like to introduce MetaAudio. MetaAudio is better replacement for EAX. Big thanks LAGonauta for letting me use MetaAudio in Half-Life: Restored.
MetaAudio basically is a Goldsrc sound plugin enhances in-game sound experience.
MetaAudio gives you:
- Sound positioning (HTRF)
- Distance attenuation
- EFX effects
- Voice communication
What's the difference than original Goldsrc?
- FLAC and OGG support
- Occlusion support like A3D
- Fade between environmental effects
- Hardware acceleration (with X-RAM support)
- Significantly lower audio latency (especially if used with hardware acceleration)
- "Unlimited" heap size for audio
MetaAudio comes enabled by default in Half-Life Restored. So you don't need to do anything extra. Now let's see what's changed in v1.3 update!
