Title: Warhammer 40,000: BIGGER BOOMS
Post by: Deadeye Rob on April 18, 2007, 11:48:22 am: Ello lads and ladies!

I decided to stop making the 2142 mod because making a new mod from scratch is rather time consuming for my busy life at the momentÂ :D.

Therefore i have decided to move back to friendly turf and update the Warhammer 40,000 mod. This version of the mod will have a few ajustments to some gun appearances as well as a hell of a lot of new sfx (as the name dictates!)

I recently discovered a method of decoding the Dawn Of War sound files and use them for the mod, allowing clean sfx for gun firing to ambient/background booms and explosions!

But best of all, i have cunningly placed a few speech sounds into some of the longer reloading guns.
Here is a sound file example of what would happen when you fire that Bolter!
Link: http://files.filefront.com//;7293040;;/

This is just one of the rather entertaining speech phrases i have included.

DONT FORGET!
This is only a selection of guns in the mod. We also have guns from the Necron, Eldar, and Ork races.
Gosteks for each race are included

This mod features various sounds and designs from the Dawn Of War series produced by Games Workshop. Las-Cannon design based on Numgun's Eradications Wars.

Post by: SDFilm on April 18, 2007, 12:01:52 pm: Maybe change the spawn sounds to speech?Â "Puney Eldar, you can send 'arf the boyz 'ome!"

Maybe that could get annoying from 5 orks all saying the same thing at once....
Title: Re: Warhammer 40,000: BIGGER BOOMS
Post by: Deadeye Rob on April 18, 2007, 12:14:22 pm: Yeah i thought that, im changing the victory roar. Spawn sfx.

Im only adding speech to the reloading sfx of the minigun, the barret and the minimi.

These are the weapons that have long shooting and reloading windows, and besides, in larger battles you get killed a lot before you reload lol! Im trying to get as many different dialogues in the game as possible to even it out if that helps!

btw you havent centered the sig lol!

Post by: Rook_PL on April 18, 2007, 12:36:58 pm: can't wait! will be Kroot gostek included? Or Vespid? Becouse "Tau and Kroot stand as one." lol

Title: Re: Warhammer 40,000: BIGGER BOOMS
Post by: Deadeye Rob on April 18, 2007, 12:49:39 pm: Hopefully, when you fire it, instead to that brief 'click' it makes you will hear a space marine yell "FIRE!"
Title: Re: Warhammer 40,000: BIGGER BOOMS
Post by: -Skykanden- on April 18, 2007, 01:00:19 pm: wow really nice idea!
Title: Re: Warhammer 40,000: BIGGER BOOMS
Post by: Deadeye Rob on April 18, 2007, 01:03:42 pm: Ive tried to make sure that it wont sound too anoying though lol!

I never get tired of hearing EAT BOLTGUN! lol
Title: Re: Warhammer 40,000: BIGGER BOOMS
Post by: xtishereb on April 18, 2007, 01:58:54 pm: FYI, I still have all the WH40K mods you've released.

This is looking like it'll be even better. I'm more excited about this update to it than any previous one. The sound effects sound like they'll be a lot of fun to play with.
Title: Re: Warhammer 40,000: BIGGER BOOMS
Post by: Deadeye Rob on April 18, 2007, 02:31:49 pm: If you download that little clip i posted, it will give you an idea of how i incorporated speech into the gun sfx.

the distance sfx is what im really proud of. Although their only about 4 different sounds they come up to be rather good!

I'd like to see some nice Ork sounds in there; like the Flash Gitz "Dakka dakka dakka". For the health pickup sound, you could have a Mad Doc or Space Marine apothecary(sp?) quote.

The spawn sound or Berserker pickup has got to be the WAAAGH!

If you havn't figgured it out by now, yes I'm an Ork player :D
Title: Re: Warhammer 40,000: BIGGER BOOMS
Post by: Deadeye Rob on April 18, 2007, 04:28:32 pm: Yes i will do that!

My appologies for the signature problems! they were 10 pixels too big! can you belive it! just 10! anyways they should now be ok!

Title: Re: Warhammer 40,000: BIGGER BOOMS
Post by: Deadeye Rob on April 19, 2007, 02:41:29 am: I rekon though, im gonna have to include a drop down box in the mod configurator to allow players to change the speech sfx from ork to space marine etc.

Can anybody do that? I suck at mod configurators lol! Just a setting that allows me to change the sfx folder.
Title: Re: Warhammer 40,000: BIGGER BOOMS
Post by: MAGRIMAN on April 19, 2007, 04:45:31 am: YOu may ask permission of Lord Ivahn,then maybe he let you use his configurator..
Title: Re: Warhammer 40,000: BIGGER BOOMS
Post by: Deadeye Rob on April 19, 2007, 06:36:29 am: The previous games used Lord Ivahns configurator.
I have contacted him but so far have recived no reply! lol
Title: Re: Warhammer 40,000: BIGGER BOOMS
Post by: Anubis on April 19, 2007, 03:11:42 pm: but we have previous permission from him to use it....this is basically an Expansion is it not?

tho it has reworked sfx
Title: Re: Warhammer 40,000: BIGGER BOOMS
Post by: Deadeye Rob on April 20, 2007, 08:04:24 am: Exacly. I might be removing a few of the ork guns though.

They diddnt look that good now that i think about it. I will try to replace it with a better looking gun.
Title: Re: Warhammer 40,000: BIGGER BOOMS
Post by: SDFilm on April 21, 2007, 07:31:28 pm: ^ I do hope you mean 'replace' and not 'remove' ;)
Title: Re: Warhammer 40,000: BIGGER BOOMS
Post by: Dairy on April 22, 2007, 01:26:20 am: Nice one. I wish U would make Necron pack of weps too....
Title: Re: Warhammer 40,000: BIGGER BOOMS
Post by: Deadeye Rob on April 22, 2007, 04:38:53 am: The previous mod had a necron flayer as the shotgun.

It is safe to say that it will include the necron flayer!
Title: Re: Warhammer 40,000: BIGGER BOOMS
Post by: Anubis on April 22, 2007, 12:53:58 pm: i wish the necros had more weapons...

Edit: ahh i had a abit of down time so i made this Background pic....fell free to use it

Post by: -Skykanden- on April 23, 2007, 01:39:07 pm: I love your warhammer mods but that time can be more little the weapons-gfx? i was playing the others mods a lot of time, and i don't like the size of the weapon-gfx :P

Ah look in my signature, you like it?
Title: Re: Warhammer 40,000: BIGGER BOOMS
Post by: Anubis on April 23, 2007, 04:21:22 pm: well i'm glad you like the mod skykanden....but i don't do the weapons, Deadeye Rob is in charge of that

@Deadeye Rob, thx i was messing around with photoshop and well i liked how the pic came out ....if you can post it on the first page with the rest of your banners, etc,etc

Title: Re: Warhammer 40,000: BIGGER BOOMS
Post by: Deadeye Rob on May 01, 2007, 04:56:51 pm: Im hopefully gonna be removing some of those ork guns. They were too last minute in their designs. I can tell you that i will be making an ork gun based on the weapons carried by the 'Flash Gitz' orks from Dawn of war
Title: Re: Warhammer 40,000: BIGGER BOOMS
Post by: SDFilm on May 02, 2007, 08:39:32 am: I find it a bit odd that the highly accuate Tau Pulse Rifle takes the place of the Steyr.Â :-\ Shoudn't it replace the Ruger or AK? Personaly I'd like it to replace the AK as I'm an auto user.

there's only one question to answer:
BY THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR ENEMIES, DO WE EARN OUR SALVATION?
;D
EDIT: Just as I suspected, it's wonderful. Besides Necrons, but who likes them?
EAT PLASMA!

And as I said in the other thread- why is the Tau pulse Rifle in the Steyr slot? Shouldn't it be in the Ruger or AK slot?

Quote from: Deadeye Rob on May 04, 2007, 05:21:02 pm
ok lol! Tau file names have been re-ajusted!
