stuff breaking (glass, wood, walls ect)
aircraft taking off (for when you launch a plane)
screams when your hit.
and... other stuff i'll add as i think of it.

all the futuristic weapon fire sounds need to be done. it'd be alot better if the sound people have something to work with rather than starting from scratch


hope i get time to do stuff in the near future :) Edited by hippyjon

How about critical wounds? Like in APOC?

Also different sounds for weapons hitting (both geo and battlescape)

Of course, this may be v2. You are the boss :D

Heres some stuff I found while browsing some free sound sites in zip and rar compression types. Hope some of it is useful, I especially like the jet fly-overs.

EDIT: um ok it won't let me upload them, if someone wants them let me know I can email it or something (the file is .5 MB) Edited by JakeDrake

Are sounds checked into SVN ?

Not as far as I know. I would rather keep them on the FTP. If you really want to use SVN you should check with mindstormmaster and also create a new repository, otherwise everytime you change a sound, developers will have to download it when they update their checkout.

 

But again, as far as I know all that goes into SVN is what you need to actually build and run the current xenocide development version.

I would move toward having them versioned, but bearing in mind the download overhead... I suggest having a sound-trunk to store them and then we code a batch to copy them to their respective directory in xenocidegame.

 

@Rincewind: can you manage that?

Will do. The batch will have to be looked into. It depends a little on how often stuff that is already in the xenocidegame/data dir will actually change.

Ok, looks like I'm too stupid for this. Can someone else look into this? The problem is, I can only create a folder under the xenocide directory on the server, which has the disadvantage that each checkin for sounds will also change the revision number for the xenocide codebase (which I don't think makes much sense).

 

Thanks for help (mindstormmaster/guyver).

Of course, don't forget to check the wiki:

http://docs.projectxenocide.com/index.php/...ects_Asset_List

 

Make ANY changes you want, and plz add your signature at the end (name+time of edit) so that we know when changes are made :)

Looked on the wiki, but I'm not too sure about this. Don't laser pistols (and maybe plasma pistols) have auto-fire, too?

Well, when a laser or plasma is fired, it always makes the same sound. *ZAP*. So, in autofire, it will just make *ZAP**ZAP**ZAP*. But, due to their design/function, rifles and pistols are a biiiiit different in single and burst shots. Don't you have a deja-vu fealing about that? :wacko:

 

It may be just me, dunno... Anyway, if you want to add autofire, you are free to do so :)

I will also add another paragraph: Enviromental sounds, with different subcategories

It's no big deal; I was just wondering why the rifles and most heavy guns had separate autofire sounds and the pistols didn't. :)

 

By the way, did you guys still want to upload the spreadsheet version of the checklist to the wiki? I'm having a bugger of a time trying to get the friggin' information out of the blasted OpenOffice file :Rant:, so if it's no longer necessary, I'll more than gladly delete the file from my computer. :P
