I need it to zoom far enough to see a battlefield view.. And actually, 8-10 is smaller than your default zoom. So is 15. You need around 50 to even start zooming out.
It's the distance the 3D sounds reach. You can change it somewhere (global) to reach further. I got no editor right now, so I can't look it up, sry ^^.
edit, asked a friend for you (he has the german editor, so the names might not be right):
data editor => game-ui-data
standart => (not sure how to translate it, try to find something close to the meaning of the words) listening-distancedamping
there should be some value for the distance, and another one (the following) for the damping factor
=> sound damping ( 0.5 )
Ghan has said he has fixed this. Monovertex please confirm this fix. This was only a problem with people that had signatures in the upper levels like not the special members but the respected members.
