Factory Sounds

[mrDischarged]

I picked the factory setting as my starting point. I've spent some time shuffling through some not-so-recent sample CDs and synthesized some noises myself. The whole lot is going up to

 

/TheDarkMod/audio/unfinished/mrdischarged/factory/

 

Some machinery hits, a couple machine/engine ambient loops and some other effects.

There are already som machinery soundbits IMO. So check these out before you do double work. At least I think I have seen some.

Wow! That's fantastic! (Yes, we did have a factory loop already made, but now we have 10! (I need to start organizing the ambients as well, not only the sfx))

 

But seriously, I really like them. Keep up the great work! (I will have to go through those sounds later, see exactly what we can use, rename them and put them in the correct category etc. And also make some sort of list where we can see what has already been done.)

A list of what's been done and approved for ingame use would be very helpful indeed!

Just to let you know, I have gone through all our ambients and uploaded them to darkmod/audio/ambient. Your sounds ended up in the factory folder, of course. I renamed the long one to factory_theme1.ogg because it's more like a piece of music than a pure ambient loop. The idea is to have a few of these "theme" songs for each category (a bit like Thief 3). And btw, I really love this one you made. Very very nice. Sets the tone straight away. Great work!

 

Some are of less quality though.. I'm thinking about the furnace fire sound. You can really tell it's being looped. Could you try to make it less obvious? It's pretty good otherwise.

 

So, we don't really have many more ambients than those you have provided. We have two or three by Darkness_falls, and a few forest and ocean sounds by LiquidBronze (who is no longer with us). And also, I did the weather effects (rain, wind and thunder) we've got so far. They are all uploaded and renamed etc.

 

Now to make that list...

[mrDischarged]

Yeah that furnace was bad, I was rather tired. But I fixed it, actually I've made 2 loops out of it, one for a "hatched" version of the furnace ie. a furnace with a closed hatch or door or somesuch and the other a full blown fire-in-your-face type of furnace sound.
