Works nice for shooting, but could not get footsteps to work properly. #1

This is a nice project. I tested the program in valorant, and the program properly detects shooting from behind. However, it can't detect footsteps from behind and in front for some reason.

Thanks! So it should really only be able to detect things from the right and left. It's build overtop the game so the only output I could use was the stereo sound. With that, it is very difficult to figure out if something is in front or behind. Of course if this was built in-game, it would be much easier to implement as you would have access to way more information than I did. With all the different sounds in-game, it was really hard to give a clear indication of footsteps, versus shooting, and random map noise. As for not being able to detect footsteps, I'll check it out later today. I think one thing I might be able to do is look at the pitch to differentiate footsteps from other sounds.

I'm curious if this works for any game or only the game (Valorant?) you made it for. I'm looking for an on-screen overlay that does what the description says this does for theHunter: Classic. There too many times while playing theHunter: Classic we hear things such as animals approaching or growling / snarling about to attack us and don't have a clue where they are because, unlike Call of the Wild, the game engine only has 2D sound and there isn't a built in indicator telling you what sounds like foot steps of animals or growling is coming from. Something like this gadget you made would make life so much easier.

This should work if your game is using stereo audio with different left and right outputs. If by 2D audio, you mean hearing the same thing in both ears, the game is using mono audio and unfortunately won't work with the program.

Is this Safe to Use? like I know that Valorant Vanguard Dont like when smth is Overlaying the game

Thank you for the reply! I was specifically asking about the game the hunter classic. The game's engine is only 2D audio. Left/right panning only.

I'll give it a shot, see if it works and let you know.

It shows up on Desktop but does not layer over the game (theHunter: Classic).
