This embodiment of the present invention provides a sound effect playback method, and the method is applied to a network application having an implementation environment. The implementation environment is information about a terrestrial material in a current scenario in the network application. If the current scenario in the network application is soil, the current implementation environment is soil; if the current scenario of the network application is a land of aquatic weed, the current implementation environment is aquatic weed, and the current implementation environment is not specifically limited in any one of the embodiments of the present invention. For convenience of understanding, the sound effect playback method provided in the embodiment of the present invention is explained and described in detail currently with reference to the content of the foregoing embodiment. Referring to FIG. 2, the process of the method provided in this embodiment includes:

201: Obtain location information of a current implementation environment.

The implementation environment includes but is not limited to a terrestrial material and the like, and the implementation environment is not specifically limited in this embodiment. The location information of the current implementation environment includes but is not limited to coordinate information of the current implementation environment and the like, and the coordinate information of the current implementation environment is not specifically limited in this embodiment. In order that the sound effect can be played according to the current implementation environment, and meanwhile the played sound effect is more timely, when the method provided in this embodiment is used to play the sound effect, the location information of the current implementation environment needs to be obtained first.

The manner of obtaining the location information of the current implementation environment is not specifically limited in this implementation. During specific implementation, the following manner may be used: an execution body in a current implementation environment in an application program is first determined, then information about a location at which the execution body in the current implementation environment in the application program is located is obtained, and the obtained information about the location at which the execution body in the current implementation environment in the application program is located is used as the obtained location information of the current implementation environment. For example, if the current implementation environment in the application program is grassland, and the execution body in the current implementation environment in the application program is a person carrying a knapsack on the back, information about a location of the person carrying the knapsack on the back on the grassland in the application program may be used as the location information of the current implementation environment.

202: Determine each material for forming the current implementation environment and a proportion occupied by each material according to the location information of the current implementation environment.

Implementation environments required in different application scenarios in an application program are different, and implementation environments obtained according to different materials are also different, and therefore, in order to satisfy demands of different scenarios, in the method provided in this embodiment, before a sound effect is played, a preset implementation environment may be configured, and the specific configuration process includes but is not limited to: obtaining different materials for forming a preset implementation environment, and combining the different materials according to different proportions to obtain the preset implementation environment. For example, that the configured preset implementation environment is grassland is used as an example, and different materials for forming the grassland are separately mud, grass and the like, and therefore the materials such as mud and grass are combined according to different proportions to obtain the preset implementation environment.

Optionally, the preset implementation environment is obtained by combining different materials according to different proportions, proportions occupied by materials on different locations in the implementation environment are different, and the different proportions occupied by the materials make sound effects played in subsequent steps different, and therefore, in order to enable the played sound effect to be more approximate to the current implementation environment, and meanwhile for convenience of determining each material for forming the current implementation environment and a proportion occupied by each material in the subsequent process, in the method provided in this embodiment, after the preset implementation environment is obtained, a step of dividing the preset implementation environment into different location units is further executed. Specifically, the manner of dividing the preset implementation environment into different location units is not specifically limited in this embodiment. During specific implementation, the preset implementation environment may be divided into location units having a same area, and the preset implementation environment may also be divided into location units having different areas. However, no matter which manner is used, in this embodiment, a combining proportion of a material in each location unit obtained by means of dividing is set to be the same, that is, a proportion occupied by each material in each location unit is unique. The preset implementation environment is divided into location units of different quantities, which may be 8, 9, 16 and the like, and the different quantities of the location units obtained by dividing the preset implementation environment are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

After the preset implementation environment is divided into different location units, in the method provided in this embodiment, location information is further set for each location unit. The manner of setting location information for each location unit includes but is not limited to the following manner:

First step, a coordinate system is established on the basis of the preset implementation environment, and a corresponding coordinate of each location unit in the preset implementation environment in the coordinate system is determined.

Second step, the corresponding coordinate of each location unit in the coordinate system is used as the location information set for each location unit.

The proportion occupied by each material corresponding to each location unit has an important effect on a sound effect played in a subsequent step, and therefore, for convenience of playing the sound effect according to the proportion occupied by each material corresponding to each location unit in the subsequent step, in the method provided in this embodiment, the proportion occupied by each material corresponding to each location unit needs to be determined, and each material and the proportion occupied by each material corresponding to each location unit are formed into material data, thereby obtaining the material data of each location unit.

Material data and location information of each location unit of the preconfigured preset implementation environment continue to be applied in the subsequent sound effect playback process, and therefore, in the method provided in this embodiment, a step of storing the material data and the location information of each location unit of the preset implementation environment is further executed. The manner of storing the material data and the location information of each location unit of the preset implementation environment includes but is not limited to: first, denoting material data and location information of each material according to the proportion occupied by each material and the length of the preset implementation environment in a coordinate system by using a hexadecimal number; secondly, denoting the material data and the location information of each material denoted by using the hexadecimal number by using a double-word value; and thirdly, storing the obtained double-word value in a corresponding storage medium.

For convenience of understanding, the foregoing process of storing material data and location information of each location unit of the preset implementation environment is explained and described in detail below by using a specific example.

For example, the length of the preset implementation environment in the coordinate system is set to 255. A location unit A in the preset implementation environment is used as an example. If materials corresponding to the location unit A in the preset implementation environment include grass, soil, sand, and water, where a proportion occupied by grass is 10%, a proportion occupied by soil is 50%, a proportion occupied by sand is 35%, a proportion occupied by water is 5%, a specific calculating process of denoting material data and location information of each material by using a hexadecimal number is:

grass=0.10*255=25=0*19;

soil=0.50*255=127=0*7F;

sand=0.35*255=89=0*59; and

water=0.05*255=12=0*0C,

where 0* is a denoting method for a hexadecimal number.

After material data and location information of each material denoted by using a hexadecimal number are obtained, the material data and the location information of each material denoted by using a hexadecimal number may be denoted by using a double-word value 0*197F590C, and the obtained double-word value is stored in a corresponding storage medium.

In the sound effect playback method provided in this embodiment, when a sound effect is played, the sound effect is played mainly according to each material of the current implementation environment and a proportion occupied by each material, and different location information of the current implementation environment makes materials of the current implementation environment and proportions occupied by the materials different, and therefore, in order that the sound effect can be played according to each material of the current implementation environment and a proportion occupied by each material, in the method provided in this embodiment, each material for forming the current implementation environment and a proportion occupied by each material need to be determined according to the location information of the current implementation environment. Specifically, the determining, according to the location information of the current implementation environment, each material for forming the current implementation environment and a proportion occupied by each material includes but is not limited to the following steps:

First: Determine location units in a preset implementation environment corresponding to the current implementation environment according to the location information of the current implementation environment,

where any location unit in the preset implementation environment has material data formed by each material in the any location unit and a proportion occupied by each material; the manner of determining location units in a preset implementation environment corresponding to the current implementation environment according to the location information of the current implementation environment includes but is not limited to:

Second: Extract the material data had by the location unit corresponding to the current implementation environment, and determine, according to the extracted material data, each material for forming the current implementation environment and the proportion occupied by each material.

For convenience of understanding, the foregoing process is explained and described in detail below by using a specific example.

FIG. 3 shows a preset implementation environment obtained by combining several materials such as grass, water, and soil according to different combining proportions. The preset implementation environment is divided into 4 location units, which are separately a location unit 1, a location unit 2, a location unit 3 and a location unit 4. In the location unit 1, a proportion occupied by grass is 30%, a proportion occupied by water is 20%, and a proportion occupied by soil is 50%; in the location unit 2, a proportion occupied by grass is 50%, a proportion occupied by water is 40%, and a proportion occupied by soil is 10%; in the location unit 3, a proportion occupied by grass is 20%, a proportion occupied by water is 30%, and a proportion occupied by soil is 50%; in the location unit 4, a proportion occupied by grass is 20%, a proportion occupied by water is 60%, and a proportion occupied by soil is 20%. A coordinate system is established according to the preset implementation environment, and location information corresponding to each location unit may be obtained. If the location information of the current implementation environment is (4, 12), it can be determined that the location unit in the preset implementation environment corresponding to the current implementation environment is the location unit 1, then material data had by the location unit 1 corresponding to the current implementation environment is extracted, and it is determined according to the extracted material data that each material for forming the current implementation environment and a proportion occupied by each material are: a proportion occupied by grass is 30%, a proportion occupied by water is 20%, and a proportion occupied by soil is 50%.

203: Obtain an initial sound effect value corresponding to each material for forming the current implementation environment.

The initial sound effect corresponding to each material includes but is not limited to sound quality of each material and an initial volume for playing each material. In this embodiment, initial volumes for playing all materials are set to a same magnitude.

In order that an initial sound effect value corresponding to each material for forming the current implementation environment can be obtained, in the method provided in this embodiment, before the initial sound effect value corresponding to each material for forming the current implementation environment is obtained, the initial sound effect value needs to be preset for each material. The manner of presetting the initial sound effect value for each material is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

The initial sound effect value preset for each material continues to be applied in the subsequent sound effect playback process, and therefore, in the method provided in this embodiment, after the initial sound effect value is preset for each material, the step of storing the initial sound effect value of each material is further executed. The manner of storing the initial sound effect value of each material includes but is not limited to storing the initial sound effect value of each material in a corresponding storage medium.

Further, after the initial sound effect value of each material is stored in the corresponding storage medium, when the initial sound effect value corresponding to each material for forming the current implementation environment is obtained, the initial sound effect value corresponding to each material for forming the current implementation environment may be searched for among stored initial sound effect values of all materials.

204: Adjust the initial sound effect value corresponding to each material according to the proportion occupied by each material, to obtain an adjusted sound effect value of each material.

The proportion occupied by each material for forming the current implementation environment is already determined according to the location information of the current implementation environment in step 202, and the initial sound effect value corresponding to each material for forming the current implementation environment is obtained in step 203, and therefore, in this step, the initial sound effect value corresponding to each material may be adjusted according to the proportion occupied by each material for forming the current implementation environment and determined in step 202. Specifically, the adjusting the initial sound effect value corresponding to each material according to the proportion occupied by each material includes but is not limited to the following steps:

First step: Determine, according to the proportion occupied by each material, a volume for playing each material.

Specifically, after the proportion occupied by each material is determined, a proportion occupied by the volume for playing each material in the initial volume of each material may be set to be the same as the proportion occupied by each material.

For example, it is determined according to the location information of the current implementation environment that materials for forming the current implementation environment are grass, soil, sand and water, where a proportion occupied by grass in the current implementation environment is 10%, a proportion occupied by soil in the current implementation environment is 50%, a proportion occupied by sand in the current implementation environment is 20%, and a proportion occupied by water in the current implementation environment is 20%. The determining, according to the proportion occupied by each material, a volume for playing each material is that: the volume for playing grass is 10% of the initial volume of grass, the volume for playing soil is 50% of the initial volume of soil, the volume for playing sand is 20% of the initial volume of sand, and the volume for playing water is 20% of the initial volume of water. If the initial volume of grass, soil, sand and water is 100 decibel, the volume for playing grass is 10 decibel, the volume for playing soil is 50 decibel, the volume for playing sand is 20 decibel, and the volume for playing water is 20 decibel.

Second step: Adjust the initial sound effect value corresponding to each material according to the determined volume for playing each material.

After the volume for playing each material is determined, the volume in the initial sound effect value of each material may be adjusted according to the determined volume for playing each material. By adjusting the sound effect value corresponding to each material, an adjusted sound effect value of each material may be obtained.

205: Combine adjusted sound effect values of all materials, and play a combined sound effect.

In order to make the played sound effect have timeliness, in the method provided in this embodiment, when the sound effect is played, adjusted sound effect values of all materials need to be combined, and then a combined sound effect is played. The combined sound effect includes adjusted sound effects of all materials, and therefore, the played sound effect can accurately reflect the current implementation environment, thereby enabling a user to obtain better audiovisual experience.

Specifically, when adjusted sound effect values of all materials are combined, that materials for forming the current implementation environment are: grass, water, and soil is used as an example, and if initial sound effect values corresponding to grass, water, and soil are adjusted according to proportions occupied by grass, water, and soil, to obtain adjusted sound effect values of grass, water, and soil, the adjusted sound effect values of grass, water, and soil may be combined, to obtain a combined sound effect. The materials for forming the current implementation environment include grass, water and soil, and the combined sound effect not only includes a sound effect of grass, but also includes sound effects of water and soil, and therefore, the combined sound effect can better embody the current implementation environment, and is more timely.
