So I finally got to play with this and

[lofty temple]

Ello!
So, even on a new, completely empty project all variables return 0?
And are you on experimental or stable?

[copper flame]

I am using latest stable tools, 1.3.0.157.
In a new completely empty project Global Variables work, but if I try to override GlobalVariables.conf and add my own variable to the list then they all return 0.
Same if I create my own variable config file they all return 0.

I have my custom variables.conf like this:

And AudioSystem.GetVariableValue("testvar", "{75083726724E4AFC}variables.conf") returns 0.
GetVariableIDByName returns -1

Does the file have to be in a certain folder?

[copper flame]

So turns out if I restart the Workbench after doing any edits to audio variables conf files, it seems to work, at least overriding GlobalVariables and adding my own

I guss I will just do that for now as it is the only way I got it working somewhat

[lofty temple]

Oh dude, so sorry, forgot to answer! Yes, I think pretty much any config files require a WB restart to be "properly" applied.

[daring drift]

Just attempted this as well, and getting -1 as the ID return, and 0 as the value return. I also restarted WB.

Thanks, I got it working with jank just like FinalMix.afm, but clearly something weird is going on as @daring drift has the same experience. Or we just don't know what we are doing

You may want to start your own thread or post in the main Audio Text Chat. This is a thread about Audio Variables we're pending info on.

[gusty pier]

oh okay, will do! sorry

[daring drift]

No problem! Best of luck

[gusty pier]

got it sorted! and thanks!

@lofty temple Whenever you get a chance, curious if you think this is possibly a bug or incorrect setup?

Maisteri and I seem to be having the same exact issue.

@lofty temple same here 😦 custom configs do not work and even if you add new vars to the GlobalConf. - VON ACP

[lofty temple]

Aw shucks, I honestly forgot about it despite making a note. Appreciate the reminder, I'll look into it this or the next week, pinky-promise. Been full two weeks, in a good way. :)

[copper flame]

Thanks!
I hope it has been in such a good way, that my project of making building VON occlusion depend on line of sight raycast between players not needed anymore 😉

[lofty temple]

Holaaa!
Does this still happen on 1.4?

I just overrode GlobalVariables.conf in a new mod on the Stable Tools and added a new Variable. Seems to... work? (GTestVar at the bottom)
(If not, quick step-by-step repro would be neat!)

Only working on regular ACPs but not VON
