I was hoping that in 1.4 some sound effects could be resampled\replaced, but still the same sfx from 1.2.1...

I saw that WAV files are in very low definition, and the wave is "splattered" to the edges, it means that it reach -0dB (Clip) and the sound is distorced.

And the SPAWN effect.... i think it is HORRIBLE!!!Â

So i fixed some sounds (cleaned up, more audible ricochets-bullets, and less distorsion on weapons fire) and added a NEW, AMAZING spawn effect!

You can dowload the archive from here

just replace the \sfx files, or only the respawn sfx files (spawn.wav and wermusic.wav).

What do you think about? I think sfx should be resampled in next patch\release, maybe with support to compressed files (es .ogg).

I, for one, always like the soundeffects in soldat. Especially the "distant battle" feature, I think that idea's rocking it all up! Gives such a nice atmosphere

However, you're definitely on to something with the spawn sound thingy.. Sometimes it goes a little crazy, and it's like you're spawning multiple times on top of yourself. Whenever it does that, the sound just goes freaking crazy and it's insanely loud. man, that's annoying

Otherwise I don't have any problems with the sounds at all.

So, try my spaw, effect, at worst you restore it

I don't mean that there are problems with sounds, but they can sound (ahah) much more cool!

And yes, the distant battle feature is GREAT, but there are only 6 effects

Sounds in Soldat should be better.

I'll try your pack. Thanks!

I definitely have been known to try out different sound packs for soldat. I do enjoy the variety of it, and some of them are pretty damn neat. I like having a "silencer" effect on my mp5, and I like having a little more hars sound when I shoot the AK or the minimi.

It all add's to the atmosphere.

Your spawn sound effect seems to have a 'futuristic' tint to it.

I stick with the old one because it's just developed in my brain now.

Me, I love the distant warfare and that high-pitched noise you hear when a grenade or explosion goes off near you.

Some sounds are good especially the effect when a grenade explodes close to you.

X-Rayz · « **Reply #7 on:** May 14, 2007, 05:58:03 pm »

Yeah that effects genius. *Tsssssssssssssssss...*

I'll try out your pack.

sound card? nobody uses sound cards! integrated motherboard ftw! *votes*

Some of the effects are kind of lame, I can't quite recall which ones, but all the gun sounds are pretty cool.

The sounds are very good. When I first experienced a hit with a nade I was like: "wow! I'm deaf".
But like echo_trail noticed, the spawning sound bug and the sound itself could be better therefore i have voted "Good, but could be improved" option.

NinjaGimp369 · « **Reply #10 on:** May 14, 2007, 06:44:39 pm »

Your spawn sound is pretty good, I'm going to use it actually. Nice sounds.

look ppl... soldat is ghetto for a reason and we should keep it that way... i always liked how... welll... cheap (for lack of a better word) soldat is. That is what made soldat.

Very nice spawn sound effect Jake. I love it.
Although MM already did the worst mistakes in 1.4 by modifying the bullets and the trails, as well as some other stuffs like the size of the chainsaw... I think your "cleaned up" sfx would be a good improvment to the game.
I'll use your sfx anyway. ;)

X-Rayz · « **Reply #13 on:** May 15, 2007, 01:16:20 am »

...
Have you even tried the pack james? It's the same, but cleaned up.

Anyway, I like how you cleaned up the ricochets and the spawn sounds ok. I don't like it, but I like it more then the original. The knife throwing things pretty cool.

The Specialist · « **Reply #14 on:** May 15, 2007, 08:08:53 am »

Most of the sound effects have been improved. They were better than before.

M.rSnow · « **Reply #15 on:** May 15, 2007, 10:21:41 am »

I use my own (if i can call mods "my own") sfx only. But thats cuz the original sfx isnt good..

JaKe · « **Reply #16 on:** May 15, 2007, 12:42:09 pm »

I found the spawn effect horrible, especially in team-respawn. so when i found out the other one i tried it, and i saw that it rules!

Anyway, where can i found other sfx packs? (quick link)

thanks

I disagree mate. I think what distinquishes soldat from the other 2D shooter games, is that it's much more complete, if you will. It simple compared to Supreme Commander, yeah, but it's way ahead of it's league. I like how it's simple, but in a "gone-all-the-way" kinda way.

I do agree that some of the "flaws" are quite personality raising. I mean, like the barret typo(now changed and corrected).. It was just so cute in a soldatish way.

My mod Soldat Enhanced may interest you, it has higher quality and more precussive sounding replacement sound effects for every weapon (even chainsaw, minigun, law etc)

Protoman · « **Reply #19 on:** May 15, 2007, 04:46:36 pm »

I like them a lot; they fit the game for what it is.

The only thing I might change would be the Ruger bullet firing sound. Hunting rifles are much louder and bolder than that.

How about SoldaT SFx?
