Sound Pack

[Fyron]

I think it would be cool to create a Sound Pack, similar in concept to the Image Mod. It would be a collection of sounds instead of images, designed to be installed in the default sounds folder so that mods can make use of custom sounds, just like the Image Mod, without every mod having to be huge.

Rules:
1) All submissions must be unique and original.
2) All submissions must include appropriate credits information. No submission will be accepted without it.
3) All sounds must be prefixed with a group identifier, such as "Fyron_Laser.wav". This is because sounds can have arbitrary names, so it is entirely possible that someone else wants to add a Laser.wav sound.
4) To make a submission, you can send it via email to admin spaceempires net (insert @ and .). If you are unable to email large files, send an email to that same address and an alternative method can be worked out to send the sounds.

I have suggested this many times and no one paid any attention

"Unique and original"? So no MOO2 sounds?

[Fyron]

Well I meant as in, not stock sounds and not sounds that are already in the pack. The Image Mod says something very similar.

An excellent idea Fyron.

Hicksz idea on how to add tuants to the game would make a sound pack an excellent idea.

I have many tuants.

[Ed Kolis]

As in, the Pkunk taunts that replenish energy(Booby! Hick! Dimwad!), and the Vogon Poetry Projector?

I would love a new "end turn sound"

What would be nice is the option in SE V to send tuant voice Messages like in many games. Each player would have to have the tuant file in order to hear it.

But would it not be nice to send a message that reads;

"Your empire is beaten!"
But sounds like this:
"You could no more evade my wrath than you could your own shadow."

You address each comment to a specific wav file.

Lets not go the petty, childish routes of FPS games.

A TextToSpeech engine reading out loud the Messages from the ai speech file would be more logical for that kind of Messages.

If this go ahead, there should be a minimum quality setting as well of at least 16-bit stereo. Files below this level can be saved in higher quality using sound recorder that comes with windows.
