What it does

bake

How every clip in this world was made, and how to make it again.

local Bake = require("game.sound.bake")
Bake.all()

Author-time only. Nothing in the running game calls this — Soundscape resolves finished .soundClip assets and never synthesises a sample or reaches a service, so a player's machine does no DSP and makes no network call. Run it from an execute in edit mode.

The four passes

CallWhat it does
Bake.synth(names?)Renders every recipe's pure-Luau floor and writes it out.
Bake.generate(names?)Submits every recipe's prompt to audio_gen, waits for the batch, conditions each take and re-authors the clip over its synthesised one.
Bake.speak(ids?)Reads every narrator line through audio_gen.speech and caches it as a clip. Lines that already have a clip are skipped.
Bake.report()audio.info on every finished clip: codec, rate, channels, frames, duration, size.

The order matters. synth first means every clip exists and has sound in it before a single service call is made, so a generation that fails, times out or returns nothing leaves the game with the computed take rather than with silence. generate re-authors in place with overwrite = true, which keeps each clip's guid — the identity Soundscape and every saved reference already hold.

Two things it is careful about

Settings go in at creation. Bake.write passes the codec into asset.create's settings. Creating a clip and patching it with setSettings afterwards re-encodes the payload through the default codec on the way, which quietly undoes an uncompressed choice — so the beds state codec = "pcm" there and nowhere else.

A generated take is read as bytes, not resolved as an asset. The service names its output after its own prompt, so that identity is computed, and a computed asset.resolve records no dependency edge and is a diagnostic the world refuses to publish over. Bake reads data.zaud off the path the status row gives it, decodes that, and removes the container once its audio has been baked into a clip of ours.

Proving it

Bake.report() reads each clip's ZAUD header without decoding it. A duration of zero, a single frame, or the wrong channel count is a clip that would ship silent, and that read is what catches it before anyone has to listen.

Consumed by

Nothing at runtime. An author, from an execute.

Interface

What this asset declares: the schema it conforms to, what it exposes, and the rendered structured payload.

conforms to

zero/source-extract/v2

strict

write(name: string, mono: buffer, rate: number, opts: WriteOpts?) → string

Write a mono buffer out as a `.soundClip` under /source/game/sound/clips. The compression settings go in at CREATION. Creating first and patching with `setSettings` afterwards re-encodes the payload THROUGH the default codec on the way, which quietly undoes a `pcm` choice — so a clip that has to be uncompressed states that here and nowhere else.

synth(only: { string }?) → void

The floor: every clip, computed. Synthesise every recipe (or the named ones) and write them out.

only{ string }?

generatedPcm(containerPath: string) → void

The nice path: audio_gen. The bytes a finished generation produced, read straight out of the container the importer wrote. Read as BYTES rather than resolved as an asset: a generated file is named after its own prompt, so its identity is computed, and a computed `asset.resolve` is a diagnostic the world refuses to publish over.

discard(containerPath: string) → void

Delete a generated container once its audio has been baked into a clip of ours. The service files takes under /source/generated/audio; leaving them there would publish a second, unreferenced copy of every sound.

submit(svc: any, op: string, args: { [string]: any }) → void

Submit one generation and hand back its job row. Nothing is polled here: the whole set goes out first so they run at the same time.

Wait for a batch of jobs, returning the finished asset path per job id.

condition(raw: buffer, rate: number, channels: number, r: Recipes.Recipe) → buffer

Condition a generated take into the clip the game plays: fold to mono, trim the silence it opens and closes with, block DC, make it loop when it has to, and normalise it to the recipe's peak.

generate(only: { string }?, timeout: number?) → void

Generate every clip whose recipe carries a prompt (or the named ones), and re-author it over its synthesised take. A clip whose generation fails keeps the synthesised one and is reported, never blanked.

argtypedescription
only{ string }?
timeoutnumber?

speak(only: { string }?, timeout: number?) → void

The narrator. Read every line (or the named ones) and cache each as a `.soundClip`. One generation per line, once — the clip is the cache, so a hot reload, a re-run of `synth` or another agent's play round never re-buys the script.

report( ) → void

Proving it. What every finished clip actually holds, read from its ZAUD header without decoding it: rate, channels, frames, duration. A duration of zero, one frame, or the wrong channel count is a clip that would ship silent, and this is the read that catches it.

all( ) → void

Everything, in the order that leaves nothing silent.

❒asset
# dsp The signal work behind every clip in *First Light: Goura*. ```luau local Dsp = require("game.sound.dsp") ``` Pure CPU maths over interleaved f32 `buffer`s — the shape `audio.encodePcm` takes, `asset.create("soundClip", …, { pcm = … })` takes, and `audio.decode` hands back. Nothing here touches an asset, an entity or the mixer, so it runs the same at author time in an `execute`, in a headless engine, and in a browser. ## Synthesis `Dsp.tone` and `Dsp.noiseBurst` write into a mono buffer: a frequency (or a glide between two), an amplitude, a start and a length, an attack, and either a linear tail or an exponential `tau`. `noiseBurst` takes one-pole `lowpass` and `highpass` corners. Both take `wrap = true`, which writes past the end of the buffer back at its start — the thing a looping bed's grains need so a cricket near the seam is not cut in half. `Dsp.rng(seed)` is a reproducible uniform source. Every bake on every machine produces the same bytes, which is what makes re-running the bake a no-op rather than a new asset checksum. ## Conditioning What a take needs before it can ship: `toMono`, `trimLead` / `trimTail`, `dcBlock`, `fadeEnds`, `normalise`, `limit`, and `checkFinite` — the last being the read that catches a filter which diverged, before `audio.encodePcm` refuses the buffer for it. ## `Dsp.seamless(buffer, rate, seconds)` The one that makes a loop a loop. It crossfades the last `seconds` of a take over its first `seconds` and drops them, so the sample after the last one in the result is literally the sample that followed it in the source — the wrap is continuous in value and in slope, and there is no click at the seam. This is why the beds need no loop points: a `.soundClip`'s `loopStart` / `loopEnd` are stored and read by nothing, so a bed that must loop is built to. ## Consumed by `game.sound.recipes` (which builds each clip with it) and `game.sound.bake` (which conditions generated takes with it). Nothing at runtime.

lines
module · born here
❒asset
# lines The narrator of *First Light: Goura*, written down. ```luau local Lines = require("game.sound.lines") ``` Nine entries, one per spoken line: the words, the `.soundClip` they were read into, roughly how long the read runs, and how far the mix ducks under it. **The words are the durable half.** A line's audio is generated once by `game.sound.bake` and cached; the TEXT lives here, ships with the world, and is what `sound.say(id)` returns and what the caption draws. A line whose generation failed, or that a muted player never hears, is still said. ## The script `open` and `begin` set the night up at the title and over the opening beat. `first_call`, `first_failance` and `first_seen` fire once each, the first time the game does that thing to you. `won`, `lost_caught`, `lost_failance` and `lost_light` close the run, one per way it can end. One reading voice, because `audio_gen`'s `speech` operation declares `text` and nothing else — there is no speaker to pick. The lines are separated by what they say, not by a voice picker that does not exist. ## API `Lines.all` (the ordered list), `Lines.byId(id)`, `Lines.text(id)`. ## Consumed by `Soundscape` (which speaks them and captions them) and `game.sound.bake` (which generates and caches the reads). Any slice wanting the words without the audio reads them through `FL.get("sound").text(id)`.

recipes
module · born here
❒asset
# recipes Every noise *First Light: Goura* makes, written down as a recipe. ```luau local Recipes = require("game.sound.recipes") ``` One entry per clip: its name (which is also its asset identity under `clips/`), how long it is, what rate it is computed at, whether it LOOPS, and what it is normalised to. Each recipe then carries **both** ways the clip can be made: - **`prompt`** — the text `audio_gen` is asked for, with `op` naming `sfx` or `music`. The nice path: a recording of a thing that does not exist. - **`build`** — a pure-Luau synthesis filling a mono f32 buffer through `game.sound.dsp`. The floor: no network, no credit, no service, so a clip whose generation fails, times out or returns nothing still ships with sound in it. Nothing in this game is allowed to be silent because a service was busy, which is why every clip has a `build` and not only the ones without a prompt. ## What is in the book Two beds (`fl_bed_night`, `fl_bed_dawn`), two music cues (`fl_title`, `fl_score`), the flock (`fl_boom`, `fl_call`, `fl_answer`, `fl_failance`), the body (`fl_step`, `fl_flurry`), the eagle (`fl_seen`, `fl_caught`), home (`fl_roost`), and the three interface answers (`fl_ui_move`, `fl_ui_confirm`, `fl_ui_back`). Three shared voices do most of the synthesis work: `boomVoice` (the low, almost pitchless pulse the whole game is built on — a sagging fundamental, two quiet harmonics and the breath under them), `wingbeat` (a shaped whoosh with a knock at the top of the stroke) and `cricket` (a fast pulse train at one bright frequency). ## `Recipes.render(recipe)` Renders a recipe's synthesised floor and conditions it: DC blocked, seam crossfaded when it loops, ends faded when it does not, limited and normalised. Returns the buffer and its rate. ## Consumed by `game.sound.bake`, at author time only. `Soundscape` never sees this module.
