I spent a few hours making some new sounds for SE4. Some of the ones that shipped with the game bugged me a little. Mainly because they were 8 bit and that means grainy and hissy. (Only one original sound was 16 bit.) MM may have stuck with 8 bit for performance reasons but I haven't noticed any slow downs using my new 16 bit files, let me know if you have any problems. It may have also just been a time issue, some of the creation dates are from '95. They may have just been working on the code so much that they just used the sounds from previous Versions.
I didn't really have any particular theme behind any of these although it may be cool to have some StarWars/Star Trek/B5/ sound sets as the mods start coming out.
I don't know if there is a size limit on the scenario/mod board so for now I'm just going to link to them at my isp, I probably won't be able to keep them up there that long but if people seem to like them I'll try to get them hosted at hyperion or somewhere.
Here is the link
www.smaudio.com/sounds/se4_sfx_sm.zip
the file is about 1.7 meg and you just unzip and overwrite the files in the se4\sounds folder.
I know some of the volumes will still need to be balanced and there are some other sounds that could use an update but let me know what you think, either here or at -
