A sound interaction script.

Hello,

I was extremely interested in using SephirothSpawn's Sound Interaction System, but his laptop broke or something and he hasn't been around in a month. I'd still like to use his system, as it's great, but I can't get in touch with him. :( Anyways...

So right now I'm looking for a replacement script for my commercial game. Basically, his script* allow you to have sounds come from events and they'd get louder the closer you'd get to the object. The script could also be used to give characters footstep sounds.

Is there any other script out there that does this as well? If so, pretty please point me to it. Also, if anyone feels kind enough to actually script me such a system, that would be awesome and I'd be forever grateful and I'd give you a free copy of the game, credit and some money too if you wanted that(But who wants cash?;)).

Thanks a ton!

*Here is his script, if anyone wants to take a look.
#==============================================================================
# ** Sound Interaction System
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# SephirothSpawn
# Version 1
# 2007-03-21
# SDK : Version 2.0+, Parts I & II
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Version History :
#
#  Version 1 ---------------------------------------------------- (2007-03-21)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Description
#
#  This script was designed to :
#    - play sound effects for moving characters and events on the map
#    - play background sound effects (bgs) when within range of events
#
#  When your player approaches an event with a walking sound effect, you will
#  here footsteps or other sound effects equal to the distance the player is
#  from the event. When the player gets within a range of an object with a
#  bgs, the bgs is played as the footsteps are played, just constantly.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Instructions
#
#  Place The Script Below the SDK and Above Main.
#
#  Setting Events with Sound Interaction
#    - Comment : Sound Interaction|type|filename|max_volume|max_distance
#
#  Replace :
#    - type : MVT (for movement) or
#            RNG (for bgs)
#    - filename : filename of se or bgs
#    - max_volume : max volume
#    - max_distance : max distance
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Customization
#
#  Default player movement sound effect settings
#    - Player_Movement_SE_Name  = 'se_filename'
#    - Player_Movement_SE_Volume = max_volume
#    - Player_Movement_SE_Frames = [frame_id, ...]
#
#  Default events frames to play se
#    - Movement_SE_Frames = [frame_id, ...]
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Syntax :
#
#  Setting Sound Interaction Settings
#    <game_character>.sis_movement_se_name = 'filename' or nil
#    <game_character>.sis_movement_se_max_volume = n
#    <game_character>.sis_movement_se_max_distance = n
#    <game_character>.sis_movement_se_frames = [frame_id, ...]
#    <game_character>.sis_range_bgs_name = 'filename' or nil
#    <game_character>.sis_range_bgs_max_volume = n
#    <game_character>.sis_range_bgs_max_distance = n
#
#    NOTE : For events, when the event refreshes, these are all refreshed
#          by the page comments.
#
#  Setting Player Sound Interaction Settings
#    $game-player.sis_enabled = true or false

Well I don't need a copy of your game but I can at least fu-fill one of these 2 requests. I can get the footstep sound script for you I will post it below. It's just it doesn't have a radius of sound I don't think. Well lets cut to the chase below is the script. This also works for moving events not just the party. Hope it helps you :thumb:.

Code: 
#==============================================================================
# ** Hear_Steps
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  by arevulopapo
#  9.11.2006
#==============================================================================

class Game_Character
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  attr_accessor :hear_steps
  attr_accessor :step_sound
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  alias hs_init initialize
  def initialize
    hs_init
    @hear_steps = true
    @step_sound = "Audio/SE/walk01"
  end
  alias hs_update update
  def update
    if self.moving? and self.hear_steps == true and (Graphics.frame_count + 2 * self.id) % (18 - @move_speed) == 0
      if self.screen_x > 0 and self.screen_x < 640 and self.screen_y > 0 and self.screen_y < 480
        volume = 55 - 5 * Math.sqrt((self.x - $game_player.x)**2 + (self.y - $game_player.y)**2)
        Audio.se_play(@step_sound, volume, 55)
      end
    end
    hs_update
  end
end

EDIT: No credits for me please, but please give credit to Arevulopapo for this cool script. This doesn't need the sound interaction system but it still does somewhat of what is needed.
