Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

I just posted a pretty extensive sound mod I have been compiling since December. This sound mod will replace all of your original sounds as well as add some new ones. This mod was created primarily with new sounds but also incorporates some of the sounds from two "sound mods" posted previously here (one by Tenryu and the other by ___________)[e-mail me and I will put you here, but I forgot who posted the early Version]. Some of the racial-specific weapon sounds (like the acid globule, enveloping acid, etc.) from the mod posted by Tenryu were created by C. Schaefer for Cyber Warrior and used with the permission of CyberWarrior, Inc. All sounds from the original game have been changed - even if I used the original one, I reformatted it to "16bit, signed, stereo" so it sounds richer. See the readme for details.

As all of my mods are a continual work-in-process, please forward all tweaks, suggestions and bugs found to me at ctraber@ngn-tampa.com.

Have Fun!

Great sounds. Make it a little easier on all of us and upload the NEW component text file.
Then we won't have to do any editing. Thanks

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Heres a sick thought. How many of you are familiar with Star Siege Tribes?

Well if your not, bare with me, tis ok. (The only game that I still play two years after its release)

Tribes was the first FPS that was strictly MP based, and it too has a very high degree of customization ability, and has benefited from hundreds if not thousands of mods and utilities.

One area of these mods is in SOUND PACKS. Or more appropriately, taunt packs. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

If you play Tribes, then you know what I am talking about and are currently smiling to yourself.

These taunt packs are packed full of quotes from movies, TV, radio, music, etc. If it has humor, it's in a sound pack.

What would be nice would be to have a real sound pack for SE IV MP edition. I know that Aaron has talked about making a TCI/IP patch for SE IV, and I was just thinking how great it would be to be able to send Messages with sound to your opponents.

(Star Craft style I guess would be the best to base it on)

Anywhooo, its just a thought, and sorry to take up server space with one of my brainless concepts, but what the hay, I got to plug Tribes. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Tampa - Great Mod!!!! The new sounds are awesome! I think there's a typo in the TXT file. The Telekinetic Projector is using telkproj.wav but the file doesn't exsist, the Small Telekinetic Projector is using telkprj.wav. Not nitpicking, just wanted to let you know.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I have been swamped working this week (real life http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon9.gif), but I will fix the .txt bug and post a revised components.txt file as soon as I return home later this weekend.

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Nice sounds, but it looks like at least two are missing. The Null-Space Projector sound and the Ground Cannon sound aren't anywhere I can find them. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/shock.gif

I like the Rocket Pod sounds and am wondering about the Point Defense sound. Is that supposed to sound like a Vulcan cannon firing? http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Here Sinapus, use these until Tampa has a chance to fix it. I'm gone to now for a week. Good luck.

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Thanks...

Neat sounds. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Hey Atrocities.....

any of those sound packs a Monty Python one?

BTW, I used to play Tribes (way back when It first came out)..

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Sinapus:

If I'm not mistaken, the Point Defense sound is the 'M41A1 Pulse Rifle with over and under 40mm Grenade Launcher' http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Straight out of ALIENS.


Tampa:

Great job compiling and creating this sound mod. I've added quite a few of them to my collection.

Talenn

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Yes, it does sound like that.

I'm to find whatever sound effects get used in some space battles in anime series. It's used in quite a few, like the opening battle in the Gundam Wing "Endless Waltz" OAV that aired on Cartoon Network awhile back. It sounds like a few different weapon sounds combined.

Or maybe the original sound effect for the real Wave Motion Gun should go in? http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif

Just in case some of you haven't downloaded the sound pack yet:

Do it! Get it!

The sounds are awesome.

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Pathfinder. Ya, the pack that I use now has all of the older voice packs rolled into one. Darn funny stuff. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Hm. Maybe I should see if I can find a good soundfile of a Starfury cannon firing from the B5 series and assign it to the small depleted uranium cannon.

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Sinapus - thanks for the catch. I was all set to upload Version 1.02 this morning, but I will have to wait until tomorrow now so that I can grab nulspc.wav from home. That is what I get for splitting it up into 5 zip files!! Anyway, thanks for the feedback. Talenn is correct about the Aliens sounds, although I modified it a lot (time, pitch, reverb, intensity, etc.) so that it would fit into the sound "time window" of the PD cannon firing. B/T/W thanks for posting those sounds Tenryu, but those are not the ones I ended up using - I will post revised pack tomorrow (and will also include the components.txt file in case you don't want to enter the names as suggested below) http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif

[This message has been edited by Tampa_Gamer (edited 12 February 2001).]

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

OK, Version 1.02 is posted over in the Mod/Download section. I included a patch with the new files for those of you that already downloaded Version 1.01 http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif Version 1.02 includes the following:

(1) fixes a typo in the readme.txt
(2) adds two missing sounds (nulspc.wav and grdcan.wav) [note - these are not the same sounds posted by Tenryu below]
(3) adds my "Components.txt" file in case you do not want to type in all the changed .wav's

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

OK Version 1.10 is now posted, essentially I combined all the files into one (got tired of multiple threads) and I updated the Components.txt based on the Version with 1.27b (for those that do not want to type in their own changes). See the readme for details. B/T/W thanks for the interim post Admiral!

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

FYI - Codo has posted a revised Components.txt to use with my Sound Mod based on SE4 Version 1.30 (patch #4). Thanks Codo! As soon as the link is working again (currently 7:45 EST and still not working), I should be able to download the patch. . .That is what I get for sleeping in http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Tampa_Gamer Sound Mod 1.20
Space Empires IV Version 1.30

FYI - The complete zip (including the new Components.txt file for 1.30) is posted over in the download forum. There is also a stand-alone "Components.txt" to use if you previously downloaded the Mod after Version 1.02 of this SoundMod. Codo - thanks for the early post, the only change I made was to put my "mine.wav" back in where you had "Boom1.wav".

As all of my mods are a continual work-in-process, please forward all tweaks, suggestions and bugs found to me at ctraber@ngn-tampa.com.

Have Fun!

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Sorry. To me, the warhead seemed like a better sound to have an explosion instead of a ker-chunk (At least, that's what it sound like to me...)

But seriously, thanks for the sounds. They are excellent.

Codo

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Hmmm...I will have to play around with these. I guess I was trying to capture the effect of the spaceships colliding as well since they are ramming into each other, with a muffled explosion in the background to reflect the shaped charge (hypothetical). Thanks again for the quick post on the Components.txt - you had it posted even before I could download the patch!!

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Tampa_Gamer Sound Mod 1.25
Space Empires IV Version 1.35

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

the sounds are great! But I am lost now with the changes http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon9.gif Where can I find the old 1.7 ver mod pac???
Thanks

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Garvoid - look in here - http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/For...ML/000017.html

If this does not work, it is in the Space Empires IV - AI/Races download section. We are in the process of updating it for compatability with SE4 ver 1.35 b/c there are known problems.

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

You guys are simply the best!!!!

You MAKE the SE4 community and I know we all look forward to the mod upgrade with the new 1.35 ver http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Just let me know where it is &lt;g&gt;

Jim

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Just wanted to chime in for a sec to thank Tampa_Gamer, Daynarr and Co. for the great work on the sound upgrade and mod pack. Playing with both for the first time tonight, and I'm loving it. After I finish grappling with the all-new -- and much more humorous, by the way -- piundon infidels, whomping on them with my newly eerie-sounding telekinetic projectors, I'm looking forward to wading into the new patch with the rest of you. Thanks, guys. You're the best.

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Update - the files were somehow mixed up between some of my different Posts when I deleted a number of old TDM-ModPack files on the SG server. I believe the problems is fixed now - let me know if anyone has any problems.

Tampa_Gamer Sound Mod 1.40
Space Empires IV Gold Version 1.xx
March 6, 2002

This sound mod will replace almost all of your 60 original sound files. I have gone through the new Gold sounds and merged the ones I liked with my previous sound mod. This mod was created primarily with new sounds but also incorporates some of the sounds from two "sound mods" posted previously here (one by Tenryu and the other by ?). Some of the racial-specific weapon sounds (like the acid globule, enveloping acid, etc.) from the mod posted by Tenryu were created by C. Schaefer for Cyber Warrior and used with the permission of CyberWarrior, Inc.

NOTE: With the Gold Version you no longer have to type new .wav files into the Components.txt file, since all of the weapons now have unique wave files. All you do is unzip and go. . .

HISTORY
1.40 Seventh release Version (updated based on Gold sounds, removed Components.txt)

See the readme for more details.

As all of my mods are a continual work-in-process, please forward all tweaks, suggestions and bugs found to me at ctraber@ngn-tampa.com.

Note - this mod is fine to use with the TDM-ModPack, simply place the sounds (wav. files)in the the "TDM-ModPack\Sounds\New" subdirectory (create one if not there).

Have Fun!

Heh. That was something that came to mind when I got a soundfile of bLaster fire from Star Wars and made it the Meson BLaster soundfile.

Actually, I was thinking more like setting a soundfile for a specific weapon mount. So the heavy and massive mounts sounded like Star Destroyer turret fire. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Ow. Speaking of Meson BLasters... sounds like a scratched record. Owowowowow.

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Tampa: the sounds are great!

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Well, I could not resist reviving my 1.01 Version thread for what is probably the Last revision to my Sound Mod...
Tampa_Gamer Sound Mod 1.50
Space Empires IV Gold Version 1.91
March 26, 2004

* Special thanks to Imperator Fyron for hosting the mod!

INFORMATION:
This sound mod will replace almost all of your 60 original sound files. I have gone through the new Gold sounds and merged the ones I liked with my previous sound mod as well as new ones over the past 2-3 years. Some of the the racial-specific weapon sounds (like the acid globule, enveloping acid, etc.) are from the mod posted by Tenryu and were created by C. Schaefer for Cyber Warrior and used with the permission of CyberWarrior, Inc.

HISTORY:
1.50 Eighth release Version (replaced around 50% of the previous Version 1.40 sounds with new ones)

NOTES:
This mod is fine to use with the TDM-ModPack, simply place the sounds (wav. files) in the the "TDM-ModPack\Sounds\New" subdirectory (create a subdirectory if one does not exist).

Have Fun!
-Tampa_Gamer

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Excellent a new Version.

I can't remember the Last time I played SE4 without Tampa_Gamer's Sound Mod.

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Greta sounds, but why does it say "Lite" when I Dl it? Is there another Version?

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yes & No - Good question. I mentioned in the readme file that I had included a number of additional, but unused sounds in the directory in case anyone wanted to revert back to the 1.40 Version ones or wanted to try new ones that I had experimented with at one point, but decided to replace. Unfortunately, due to size limitations for e-mail transfers (the file was 40+ MB), I will not be able to upload this until the Shrapnel site is accepting uploads again. Once I get my TDM races complete for the next Version, I will probably have more time and can break it down into chunks - but this would be only if someone is willing to host that big of a file. But the "lite" Version that is posted is the final Version that anyone would need. The "full" Version would only be for those that wanted additional sounds to experiment with, etc.

-TG

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

Thanks for the comment.

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

FYI - I will probably be tweaking the sounds one final time over the next week (based on some feedback received on this new Version), so if you have any sounds you think were better in the 1.40 Version or any other comments - please let me know.

Thanks
-TG

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

I can post the non-Lite file, and have a FTP account you could use to upload it..assuming I can get it working, grr. Seems to work for me and no one else at the moment. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Anyway, I'd also like to ask about using these sounds in a Starfury mod..

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Thanks Phoenix-D. Just send me private mail with instructions when you get it up and running. As for using it in your mod - sure, no problem. All I ask is that you stick something in your credits.txt or readme.txt indicating that certain sounds were used with permission from my sound mod or something to that effect.

Later
-TG

Re: Sound Mod 1.01 Posted
 

OK, thanks to Phoenix-D, here is a link to the full Version. As I explained below, the only thing this Version has that the lite Version does not, is around 100+ sounds that were discarded over the past several years as my sound mod evolved. They all have the words "notused_" as a precursor to the name.
