AURA (OpenMW)

Description

This is an early OpenMW implementation of MWSE AURA by tewlwolow. The original sound files are contained here in this mod, as well as many of the features that AURA sought to implement. 

AURA dramatically enriches the games ambient sound-scape by adding additional sounds cued to play for biomes, settlements, dungeons, ruins, player status, containers, and more. This mod does not alter any of the vanilla game sounds, but there is an OPTIONAL Replacer sounds folder that will replace over 400 vanilla sounds with higher quality versions, you may find the list of files here.

For polling tweaks, use "AURA OpenMW\scripts\aura_openmw\core\tuning.lua"

I am actively working on this, please report bugs/issues and I will do my best to address everything as I can.

Presently there is no OpenMW API for adjusting the volume of a currently playing sound file. As such, sounds may sometimes feel as though they start and stop suddenly. For now, there is no best way for me to avoid this. In 0. 9. 0, I tackled this issue by "fading out" the current track by restarting it at lower volumes. In 0. 9. 1, I removed this because I felt it was too distracting/obvious in most situations. However, I can reimplement that featur
