Something Odd with Placed Sounds

in Builders - Toolset
It's been a while since I had a go at making a module. So when I finally got around to it again, I noticed something odd.

Anyone else experiencing this? On 1.69/Diamond when you place a sound that is only audible in a 10 metre (default) area around the point where you placed it, there is a visual representation of the extent of this area. Looks a little like an umbrella. With EE you don't see this and in fact even the icon used appears to have lost its colour too. This is in both the Retail and Development branches with the module I am currently building.

Please let me know one way or the other. If you are not experiencing this I will then suspect a certain tileset.

Thanks

    I haven't seen this behavior in the EE Toolset, and I'm in there with some frequency.

    Well that's good to know. Thanks for that. Not a huge inconvenience anyway.

    It would't be as simple as using the toggle at the top of the screen to show sounds, would it?

    Nope. I just double checked and show sounds is definitely on.

    Have you made sure that the sound in question isn't an area-wide playing sound? That will use a different icon, and won't have a radius associated with it at all.

    Master Redhand is well aware of the icons I'm sure. He's got more forgotten knowledge of NWN than you and I could muster knowing.

    Since all that shows is the music note and neither a box or an umbrella I knew that something weird was going on. I use past tense there because due to other weirdness in addition to the sounds, I have abandoned that particular module.

    I am also certain that there are others around, with greater knowledge and skill than I. I just occasionally "see a gap in the market" that I can actually fill.

    Nope, sound objects work fine for me.

    Try DEV Build 8193.7 - that fixed any sound issues I was having
