Blurb Realistic new rifle sound that I made in Adobe Audition. If you play insta or use rifle a lot, you'll like the new rifle sound!

Detailed description

UPDATE - 10/01/2011 #2:

Updated/Fixed the .zip package so the "junk" files from Mac OS X are not there. I apologize for the inconvenience ;-)

UPDATE - 10/01/2011:

It's finally updated to sound a LOT better than the old one.

This time I adjusted the sound levels of the individual sound channels/frequencies to make it Louder, Clearer, and better than ever!

It's not too loud and sounds fairly realistic for a Sauerbraten Rifle Sound!

Enjoy! - uGotServed (IGN)

UPDATE July 5th 2009: It sounds much better now. Please let me know if I should fix the timing on the reload sound. To me, it seems okay considering it's Sauerbraten, but then again, I could make the reload sound start a bit sooner so it goes with the weapon animation better. What do you guys think? Please let me know so I can make this the best rifle sound possible. Any/All feedback is appreciated :)

UPDATE July 3rd 2009: I Completely revised the Rifle Sound so it is more realistic and powerful sounding!

This is a very nice Rifle sound replacement that I made in Adobe Audition. You'll appreciate this if you play Insta or use Rifle a lot.

This will replace the original rifle.wav file in Sauerbraten with uGotServed's New Rifle Sound.

***INSTRUCTIONS***

Just extract the rifle.wav in this archive to your \Sauerbraten\packages\sounds\awesund folder and overwrite the original one.

After you do that, start Sauerbraten and start fragging with your new Rifle Sound!

I made this sound from scratch within Adobe Audition to get the powerful/yet not too loud Rifle sound, and a pretty cool reload sound/shell dropping sound, all put together into one.

Enjoy!

I've updated the archive and also have edited the instructions and included a README.txt within the .zip file.

Edit by Quin: False and misleading information.

jtrag | 2009-07-03 03:07

I apologize. I wasn't quite sure how I should post it. I did it like that so newbies could figure it out easily by being able to see the folder heirarchy.

The .zip file has been fixed :)

Thanks for the feedback!

He had it right if it was packages/sounds/awesund/FILESERE, that way you can simply extract to the sauerbraten directory. Your giving false information and that could result in this node being labeled with the dreaded "IMPROPERLY PACKAGED" message.

jtrag | 2009-07-03 03:06

I just updated the .zip file so only the rifle.wav and README.txt files are in the archive. Instructions are in the README.TXT. It's actually a very easy mod to install.

Enjoy!

Please read this regarding your packaging... http://www.quadropolis.us/node/226#package

I would advise against listening to ice-cold as he doesn't quite know what he's talking about.

I'm looking forward to trying this new rifle-sound tonight!

jtrag | 2009-07-03 06:36

I FIXED THE PACKAGING

ice-cold | 2009-07-04 02:57

Censored by Quin: No, you do not know what you are talking about. Please discontinue your rants and flamebaits. Final warning.

Actually, a directory only takes up 40 bytes on an ext3 partition and none on NTFS (or at least that's what ls tells me).
The "improper packaging" windecker is referring to is the "Files in this content are improperly packaged or presented" message nodes can be tagged with.

It is, in fact, easiest to archive starting under the main sauerbraten directory, so the archive can be extracted right into it, and all files get dropped into place.

RaZgRiZ | 2009-07-03 05:40

omg... this is really weird... now it sounds like a hunting rifle which has no power and at the end of the shoot its like pushing a brush in a rusty tube! i liked it better before. try adding some bass to this sound to make it sound more powerful and remove that brush'n'tube like sound. 2/5

jtrag | 2009-07-03 06:37

I'll be updating the sound soon to see if I can make it sound more powerful and I'll get rid of that hollow tube sound.

jtrag | 2009-07-03 08:01

UPDATE July 3rd 2009: I Completely revised the Rifle Sound so it is more realistic and powerful sounding!

RaZgRiZ | 2009-07-03 08:47

now it certainly sounds powerful. i really like it :D 5/5

jtrag | 2009-07-03 08:51

I appreciate the feedback and I'm glad you like it! I'm definitely going to tweak it some more and make it sound as good as I can, but for now, it already makes a really good replacement to the original rifle sound.

I think I like the updated version much better myself. Thanks for pointing out the things you did earlier about it. It helped me to improve it.

Feedback is always appreciated and helpful :)

RaZgRiZ | 2009-07-03 09:04

sorry but since you replied before me i couldn't update my post and got an access denied message... so

i recommend adding a bit of a BANG on the gunsound, and remove the end of the gunsound (which is not heard) in order to reduce some filesize
i believe it will make it better if you do these 2 little things, but its personal preferences i guess :P (so you might want 2 make 2 versions xD)
edit: sorry to say so but i forgot i already use custom sounds that i like most than any sounds made.

Windecker | 2009-07-03 14:58

Great! It sounds powerful and deep. One thing, sound of the bolt moving is kinda.. well.. click click click.. The bolt moving doesn't sound right I don't think, but i love the sound none the less. I'm using er =D

jtrag | 2009-07-03 19:59

I'll be releasing a new version tomorrow July 4th 2009. I may release it tonight a bit early. It already sounds much better and I'm working on getting the bolt sound right. Stay tuned for updates... I'll eventually get this tweaked so it makes one excellent rifle sound.

Take Care :)

very nice gj! but could u make it a bit more loud? its still a bit 2 soft at volume :s.

jtrag | 2009-08-06 13:46

I tried to make it as loud as I can without it getting distorted. This release still isn't final so I'll be working on it some more and I'll keep the volume in mind. I may try using another program to enhance the volume some and see if that helps. Stay tuned for updates!

is this availible for mac if so tell me a step by step intreoduction

Windecker | 2009-08-20 22:55

I'm guessing there is a sound folder on the mac edition, so find the awesound folder and replace the rifle.wav file.

jtrag | 2011-10-01 22:31

On Mac, go to your "Applications" folder and find "Sauerbraten.app". Right click on it or Command+Click and in the pop-up menu click on "Show Package Contents". This will open a new Finder Window where you can access the individual files within the Sauerbraten.app file (it's actually a folder but mac reads any folder that ends with .app as an Application.)

Once you have the Package Contents Displayed in Finder on your Screen/Monitor, open the only folder you should see which is "Contents" and within there are all of the regular files you would see in a Sauerbraten Install Directory. Just go to "/GameData/Packages/Sounds/awesound/ and replace rifle.wav with mine (BE SURE TO BACK UP THE ORIGINAL BEFORE YOU REPLACE IT IN CASE YOU WANT TO REVERT THE CHANGES).

Close the window, launch Sauerbraten, and enjoy your new Rifle Sound made by me ;) (uGotServed on Sauerbraten).

This should also help anyone running the MAC OS Edition of Sauerbraten to install Mods, Scripts, Content Etc. as most people probably don't know that the .app file on Mac OS technically IS the installation folder.

I hope to make more mods in the near future; although I did just update this Rifle Sound Today and will be posting in after this. ENJOY!

link646 | 2009-08-27 19:58

i put this in the awesund folder and replace this one with the old one but when i play the game it does not play the new sound but the old one please help????

jtrag | 2011-10-01 22:18

Do you possibly have some other Mod installed that changes sounds? If so, that's probably why. It's because the other Mod is probably telling Sauerbraten to use a different sound folder (the one with the modded sounds in it) and therefore it's not reading the default one that you're overwriting with mine.

Try figuring out which sound file it's actually using instead of the default one and then replace that with mine (make sure you rename mine to the exact name of the other one you replace or it won't work).

I hope this helps! Update coming soon! It sounds much better now!

Enjoy the updated version!

Please let me know if you have any feedback/comments/suggestions as I will make changes if necessary in order to make this one of the best Sauerbraten Rifle Sounds ever made.

See you in-game!

Why are you still reading this? Install the NEW Rifle Sound and get to Fragging some n00bs! ;-)

Suicizer | 2011-10-27 15:53

Sounds like a nice sound, but it's unproperly packaged (things like .DS_Store are in the zip-file).

jtrag | 2011-10-27 17:02

oops! I forgot I made it on Mac OS X lol. I'll repackage it now on Linux and re-upload it.

Thanks for the comments/feedback! It's appreciated ;)

Now if I could learn to make maps... lol (I know once I do I'll be an awesome mapper for Sauerbraten).

Off to fix the file package and re-upload it now. Cya!

Will post here once it's updated.

Frag ya later,

-uGotServed (IGN)

jtrag | 2011-10-27 17:14

It's been updated with "junk" files removed. Thanks for pointing that out! Nice catch ;-)

-uGotServed (IGN)

Suicizer | 2011-10-28 11:42

Well, mapping isn't that hard. It's just a matter of practising, learning from your mistakes and to listen to constructive and logical feedback. If you lack any other those, you'll probably won't produce a really good map.
Maybe I'll put some time in learning you the ropes (if you don't know them already), since it seems like you can really make some cool stuff.

But back on-topic again,
I agree Razgriz, it's a little to much bass in it now (while it was too less in it's predecessor). Probably somewhere between both versions would sound awesome.
Really like the sound tough.

RaZgRiZ | 2011-10-27 17:46

2 years later and it sounds like a far-off cannon, there's too much of a boom. ^_^

jtrag | 2011-10-27 18:05

Does it get distorted or something on your computer?

It sounds really good on my PC/Mac. I didn't do anything to it except make it a bit louder and clearer which is an improvement over the previous version.

Do you have any suggestions to help me improve it? I appreciate any/all feedback!

Take care,

uGotServed (IGN)

RaZgRiZ | 2011-10-27 19:58

No distortion or anything like that, it just sounds more like a cannon than a rifle to me.

It's hard to suggest how to change a sound, kinda like describing colors, what is there to say.

jtrag | 2011-10-28 03:30

Actually by saying it sounds like a Cannon instead of a Rifle tells me a LOT. I appreciate the Feedback! Thanks!

I'll adjust it some if needed; although, I'll wait for some more feedback before I change anything.

Cya!
