The Audio Presets feature in Durty Cloth Tool allows you to enhance the realism and immersion of custom clothing items by selecting an appropriate sound for each cloth component. These presets define how different clothing items sound when the character moves, contributing to a more immersive in-game experience.
In GTA V, each type of clothing item can be associated with a specific audio preset, which determines the sound it makes during character movement. For example, walking in flip flops will sound different from walking in heavy boots, and wearing a leather jacket creates a distinct rustling sound when compared to a light shirt. These audio presets are predefined by the game and are available for selection in Durty Cloth Tool.
The Audio Presets feature applies to various clothing components, including but not limited to:
Shoes (e.g., flip flops, boots)
Masks
Armor (e.g., ballistic vests)
Bags
Pants (e.g., jeans, skirts, fireman pants)
Tops (e.g., leather jackets, t-shirts)
Undershirts
Each of these components has its own set of available audio presets, depending on the type of clothing being used.
In Durty Cloth Tool, you can easily apply an audio preset to any clothing item. Here's how:
Select the Drawable:
Choose the clothing item (drawable) from the Drawables List that you want to edit.
Locate the Audio Preset Option:
In the Drawable Details panel on the right-hand side, you'll find a dropdown labeled Audio Preset. This field allows you to assign a preset to the currently selected drawable.
Choose an Audio Preset:
The Audio Preset dropdown is populated with a list of game-defined presets specific to the selected drawable type. For example:
Shoes may have presets like "Flip Flops," "Heavy Boots," or "High Heels."
Armor may have presets like "Ballistic Armor" or "Heavy Gear."
Pants may have presets like "Tight Jeans," "Skirt," or "Fireman Pants."
Select the appropriate preset based on the sound you want the item to produce in-game.
Test the Audio Preset:
Although the Audio Preset does not play within Durty Cloth Tool, the effect will be noticeable when the player wears the item in-game. The chosen sound will be triggered as the character moves, depending on the cloth component’s interaction with the environment.
Shoes:
Flip Flops – Produces the characteristic sound of flip flops hitting the ground when walking.
Heavy Boots – A deep, heavier sound suitable for sturdy or military-style boots.
High Heels – The sharp, distinct sound of heels clicking against the floor.
Masks:
Gas Mask – Produces a sound associated with wearing a heavy-duty gas mask.
Armor:
Ballistic Armor – A preset that adds the sound of heavy armor rustling with movement, reinforcing the sense of wearing protective gear.
Heavy Gear – Adds a bulkier sound for heavier equipment or tactical armor.
Pants:
Tight Jeans – Simulates the sound of tight fabric moving against the body.
Skirt – A lighter, swish sound typical of fabric skirts when the character moves.
Fireman Pants – The heavy, padded sound of fire-resistant trousers, adding weight to the movement.
Tops:
Leather Jacket – Provides a realistic sound of a leather jacket shifting and creaking as the character moves.
Light Shirt – A quieter sound, reflecting the less substantial material.
By assigning appropriate audio presets to clothing items, you can:
Enhance Realism: Ensure the clothing matches the character’s sound during gameplay. For example, heavy boots on a soldier sound different from flip flops on a civilian character.
Improve Immersion: Audio feedback from the character’s clothing can make the player feel more connected to their in-game avatar.
Add Variety: Differentiating the sound of clothing depending on its type or material adds depth to the game world.
Drawable Type Specificity: The available audio presets are different for each drawable type. For instance, shoes will have a different set of audio presets compared to masks or armor.
Sorted by Type: The presets are sorted within Durty Cloth Tool by their relevant drawable type, making it easy to find the right sound for each piece of clothing.
Each audio preset is pre-configured by the game engine, so you can select the one that best matches your clothing item without needing to adjust any sound settings manually.
The Audio Presets feature in Durty Cloth Tool is a powerful tool for cloth maintainers and creators to add audio realism and immersion to custom clothing items in GTA V. By selecting the right audio preset, you can ensure that characters sound appropriate for their clothing, whether they’re wearing heavy armor, a leather jacket, or flip flops.
