Blurb Good-sized pack of [scifi-ish] sounds (20 in all) for Sauerbraten

Detailed description

I recently picked up a bunch of free sounds from a professional sound developer's website, and thought that they would sound pretty cool if I put them in Sauerbraten.

So I edited a lot, adjusted them here and there, and tried them out. In my opinion, they sounded great (but that's just my take on things). So here they are, replacements for all weapon sounds, all item sounds (e.g. pickup), weaponswitch, explosions, jumppad, and teleport. Enjoy (but be sure to tell me what you think of them)!

they are a bit to robotic, though I like the teleport and chaingun sounds

3/5

4.5/5
I love all of the sounds :D They get a 4.5/5 because they weren't packaged properly and the the punch doesn't really fit with the assassin release.

Glad ya like 'em! I was in a hurry when I was packaging them, so I screwed it up. Oops... And about the punch sound, yeah, it doesn't fit in with the new hudgun. I may have to come up with a new one.

Some of these sounds fit very well, imo.

The sounds i liked :

ammo pickup, weapon change, chaingun, jumppad (maybe a bit shorter), pistol (sounds very dangerous now, lol, maybe less "hall" effect), weapon respawn,
armour pickup, explosion (sounds good when grenades explode).

The sounds i didn't like are:

rocket launcher (sounds like a jet), rifle (crossbow), health (sounds more than a "beam" sound to me), grenade launcher (sounds like a huge cannon), shotgun (the shooting sound is very deep, like a cannon again, but i like its reloading sound though), teleport (not bad, but too long), fist.

Hope i didn't forget any.

Hell i know how hard it is to find some good sounds, which suit well together and are royalty-free, too. And in the end, they all should be easy to recognize in a battle with many ppl too, and easy to distinguish. You really found some excellent ones, imo. That's why i give you

4/5

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I always like feedback. About the rocketlauncher sound, if you look in [my included] sounds.cfg, there is a replacement sound commented out by it's loading line. Just replace the line with the commented out one, and try that out. There are a few other replacements too. And I finished this pack some days before the assassin release came out, so you can understand the fist sound :-)

Yes, it is hard to find good sounds, especially if you have such a small library to go on. About 4 sounds were derived from one individual effect, and so on.

Thanks for the very specific feedback!

I absolutely love some of the sounds, while some others sound like they came from MS Pinball, so why did you have to rename everything in a new folder arrangement then use a totally different sound data file? I can usually just delete all the unworthy sounds from someone's pack before unzipping it, but with this, I have to compare the data files, rename a bunch of stuff, then put them in folders they should have already been arranged for, all in all creating an unnecessarily difficult process of weeding out the good sounds into the game: Many people use bits and pieces of several different people's sound mods--you shouldn't force us into all-or-nothing.

4 Stars for the sounds themselves, reduced to 3 due to a total disregard of the KISS principle.
