Are these the Thief lockpicking sounds???

It sounds really similar, but that final opening sound isn't. I imagine they just produced the folio with the same process as the LG guys.

If we were to get lock picking sounds similar to Thief 2 would they have to follow the same format as the existing ones? Or would it need to be a whole new thing?

 

I may be in a position to get us those sounds but I need to know what to ask for first and if I get them will they be used?

[Springheel]

We can't use THE Thief sound for obvious reasons.

 

I'm not someone who thinks our lock picking sounds need to be changed. While they might do with a bit of reverb, the same can be said of all our sounds and hopefully that will be possible one day on a global level.

[Goldwell]

I know we can't use the original thief sounds but what I was thinking was one of two things. Getting someone to record brand new sounds or finding existing sounds in a royalty free pack.

 

I guess if people don't want it I can use it exclusively for my own maps.

 

Also is 2.04 going to be the big open EAX thingy were getting? I can't remember the name of it

That didn't sound like Thief 2 lockpicking at all.

 

Do I need to break into snd.crf?

The sounds in-game are pretty good as it stands.

Maybe someone might want to change them to be louder at certain segments but they are good as-is to me. Even in comparisson to Thief.

Here is a commercial using the very same lockpicking sound as Thief:

So what's the story? Was it actually recorded by Looking Glass or did they just use a canned sound from some sound resource CD like a lot of games back then?

I could swear that's Thief ambience in the background too, when the guy breaks in and... runs... away?

[Springheel]

Was he running away, or just reloading because he'd been seen?

"Wait, wait, hang on, go again!"

It's funny hearing them in an actual commercial.

 

My personal theory is that LGS simply used quite a few assets from then-contemporary sound libraries available to sound producers, including their's.
