Ice footsteps sound?


Deadlove

Recommended Posts

Ignore if this is already a part of the game, but I am curious if we have sound FX for ice on ground for footsteps?

 

Small patches of ice amongst snow (or ice in general) that make a louder crackling noise to make players more cautious / throwing in random "oh my gosh I just made a loud noise" thing would make a nice touch to fear factor.

 

Movement being effected such as sliding on ice would be nice too, but I guess it would be easier for footsteps to be implemented before a surface effecting speed / mobility.

 

Thoughts?

From what I can find that should exist as of http://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=2409(Although someone on the Newbie DR thread said the Slick material wasn't working for him/her.) Dragofer's 'One Step Too Far' has ice, and I think I remember sliding on it.

Some things I'm repeatedly thinking about...

 

- louder scream when you're dying

As I've promised earlier, I'll try to make some, and record them in a sound-dampened environment (I have a bit of experience with that, despite not having top-notch sound recording equipment at home). B) The downside is that winter has already passed and we didn't have that much nicely crackling ice this winter anyway. :huh: But that's nothing a little trickery with water, a freezer, a baking tray, a soft pad and a heavy boot can't fix. ;):D

There is an ice texture - you will keep sliding a bit every time you move, make footsteps that sound like you're walking on marble tiles, and there's a reflective icy sheen across its surface when it's in the light.

I have here a bunch of sounds from the Severance blade of Darkness game, theres very nice snow walking and running sounds, some even with armature, don't know what is the policy on using sounds from other games, i bet that is not good but i think there is no problem, TDM being free plus severance being very old and the rights are in limbo right now, but i comprehend if you guys don't want that.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
