i took some time to get what i think was a newer version of sauerbraten through cvs.

there is definitely more options, more maps, and better rendering. even guns are slightly different. but the sounds seem to have taken a step back.

i mean, the sound for a jump pad is quite seriously a "BOING!" in the version i have here...

are these sounds coming out in the next release version? :S

Well, copyright problems existed with the sounds included in Spring Edition, so the old ones had to be reinstated as a temporary measure.

I'm currently working on a set of sounds which will hopefully be ready for the next release: http://www.quadropolis.us/node/775

Contributions are welcome.

i have all the Dark Forces sounds in their original mono 8bit action. They actually fit pretty well into the game.

stop complaining and contribute! search for royalty-free and free to use sounds if you want to help. If you don't want to then don't complain! :P

The sounds aren't super fantastic, but with a copy of Audacity it's not hard to make something good. Just remember to credit the original authors.

I'm not the guy you want making your sounds... just wanted to know what was happening.

I swear though I WILL make sounds if I have to, lol. Seriously, the sounds right now are absolutely terrible. Even if I did though, I have no idea how to get in on the scene anyway.

Like, look for any mention of whats going on with the new sauerbraten releases. There is none. I wish it was more community driven than it seems to be.

search the 'net for sounds, perhaps? ;-)

actually, this would be a good time to ask.

If I was completely serious and wanted to contribute, do I just have to start hacking up the code or making my own sounds and they hope someone notices, or is there actually a way to get some sort of directive and help where it matters?

I mean, I could try to help out, but how do I know anything I do would be useful for the project even?

If you think your sounds are superb, just post them here (or a sample, if you like). If they are really good, the devs will be glad to include them.

Saying this, I am not one of them, so don't point at me when they don't want your sounds. =)

We could really use a simple checklist here. I have a mic and audacity, and I'm sure countless other people do too- make a checklist of things we need, right here on the forum (in this very thread would be fire with me), and let's compete to see who can make the best sounds, one at a time. Here's what was listed in the sound for saurbraten list, if someone who knows what we need could it it:

That's cool to hear ;)

Just come to IRC and ask in sauer channel (irc.quakenet.org #sauerbraten ) and somewone will guide you further :-)

Everything after S_V_RESPAWNPOINT is concept only (Sauerbraten doesn't use them), unless they get into main.

likely if we had decent sounds for them, they would be added

reply to this message

#15: Well..

by Quin on 08/18/2007 11:05

.. it's getting close to release. I think I've got all the sounds covered but the announcer really. I've done a re-render of IronSnout without the echo effect, but the announcer is still the same (it was really the best I could do with my own voice).

Any takers?

Maybe soundsnap has some sounds to offer one could use?

What exactly needs to be said for these effects? I have an idea I'm working with, but I want to be consistent.

to be honest, all my friends and i who play sauerbraten don't mind the announcer at all.

Its nice because health boosts and quads come up more often than in other games (because there are no health boosts).

having the voice as low-key as it is, it doesnt get in the way. but you still get notified. its nice.

I like the current announcer's voice because every time she hears, my wife attempts to lower her voice and imitate it - cracks us both up. ;]

"BAAAASE LOOSSST!"

I did some editing on the voices in an attempt to enhance them:

Don't know if it worked out good.. now they're kinda hard to imitate :o
