[Minor] Left FS2 sound effects final?

Just wondering: Do you plan to replace some of the left FS2 effects (like the menu sounds, shield impacts, enemy lock-on sound etc.). Some of them sound a bit out of place, especially when you played WC and Freespace before. And yes, I understand the sound effects are supposed to be final...

Please list a few of the sounds you'd like replaced (exactly please so there is no doubt. There are several differnt "lock on " sounds)

I'll provide a list asap.

Once done, please open a Mantis ticket and add a link to this thread to the description, posting the details here.

I'm still waiting for this 😉

I had some hardware issues with my main system till this evening. Got this fixed by now, I'll provide the list tomorrow, going out with some friends this night. 😉

So, I would like to hear what other testers think about the sound effects. There are just some sounds that pull me out of the atmosphere because they remind me of FS2 right away (like hearing Star Wars laser effects in Star Trek).

Sounds, that could need a replacement: - T-Flyby1 - l-flyby - user_o - user_c (... and all the other stock menu sounds) - s_hit_2 - s_hit_4 - collide

These are just the sounds I could make out while playing the game. I find many sounds in the sounds folder that are stock and not used and those, which might serve as replaced (but are not used of course - e.g. "computer" could be used instead "textdraw"). I'll keep this list updated.

Thank you, we'll look into this.

The most annoying sound to us was the capship explosion sound. That sounded VERY Freespace, and we therefore replaced it fast.

We'll work on replacements but right now we only have one Sound FX guy, so it might take a while but we'll do our best. For the menu sounds we might try some original WC3 sounds.

We'll mention it in the change logs if we replace any of these. If some change and we don't mention them we might simply have renamed them.

I would also like to hear more original (WC3 would be perfect) sounds within the game (menu interface as well as in gameplay).

Any specifics except the menu sounds?

I'll report to you tomorrow after some gameplay testing.

Any updates on this? What do other testers think?

We have replaced a few sounds like shield impact etc. And several menu sounds also.

Please give us more feedback on which sounds should still be replaced.

Perhabs the FS2-style flyby sound should be replaced. While I love that one, I think it would be better to replace it with one from the WC-Games. Prophecy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwrFc6ngh6M (0:57) Kilrathi Saga: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLldTqAX ... ideo_title (1:15)

What do you think about my idea?

That would be much better.

Agreed - but I guess that is already somewhere on KeldorKatarns To-Do-list? 😊

l_flyby.wav (stock FS2 sound) should be replaced (or removed, I wouldn't care).

Changed for the next beta.

We have replaced most of the original SFX for the next beta. We would appreciate your feedback (once the next beta is out).

Hope it isn't too late to submit some more sounds that should be replaced.

snd_briefing_static snd_cargo_scan (snd_cargo_reveal) snd_ship_ship_light snd_threat_flash

() indicate sounds I don't care too much about.

Shall I create single tickets or a general ticket for these?

general please, we'll see what we can do.

Here's the ticket. http://mantis.wcsaga.com/view.php?id=699

thx
