New player vocals

Recommended Posts

Have you checked to make sure such files don't already exist? I have vague memories of doing something like this at one point, but it was so many years ago that the details are foggy.

Here is a list of the sounds used for the player voice.

  • the files all use the .ogg file extension
  • paranthesis in the name means that there are a series of them - eg (1-3) is three separate files

Could a knowledgeable person fill out the sound descriptions for where I was uncertain of the context, or correct me where I am wrong?

 

# mantling - player mantles. not sure what the difference is between "mantle", "_pull" and "_push"

player_mantle_(1-3) ?

mantle_pull(01-02) ?

mantle_push(01-02) ?

 

# carrying and dropping

player_pickupbody_(1-3) - player picks up a body

player_pickupbodyfat_1 - is this ever used?

no_drop(01-02) - player tries to drop a carried body in a too small space

 

# eating and recovering hp

player_crunch_(1-7) - player eats food

player_drinkpotion_(1-2) - player drinks a potion

player_sigh_1 - player is recovering hp (same sound as when drinking a potion?)

 

# taking damage

player_hitpointshi_(1-6) - player takes damage while still having plenty of hp left

player_hitpointslow_(1-6) - player takes damage while having little hp left

player_die_(1-4) - player dies

 

# specific damage types

player_chokegas_(1-3) - player is taking damage from gas and choking

player_damagefire_(1-4) - player is taking damage from fire

player_poisoned_(1-4) - player is poisoned (when does this happen?)

 

# swimming

player_deepbreath_(1-2) - player is surfacing after having been submerged for a while

player_submerge_1 [sfx only] player is submerging in water

player_drown_(1-4) - player has been submerged too long, and is taking damage

 

# falling

player_softlanding_(1-2) - player lands from a small height, without taking damage

player_hardlanding_(1-4) - player lands from a great height, taking damage

 

# using weapons

player_bow_wobble_(1-3) - player has held pulled bow too long, and is tiring

player_raiseweapon_(1-3) - player is preparing a sword swing?

 

# misc - when are these used?

player_cough_(1-4) - ?

player_hmm_(1-4) - ?

player_tired_(1-4) - ?

player_pickupbodyfat gets used if the person you pickup is more then 30kg heavier then you. I am not sure whether this is the case for any ai, though. Maybe the builder forger.

player_mantle is unused. Mantling is subdivided into several phases. I think pushing comes first and later on there is pulling.

 

player_tired is used if the player tries to keep up the bow for too long

player_hmm doesn't seemed to be used at all. It might be a special sound to be customly used in FM's

I couldn't find player_cough, so no idea what that is for.

@Akira, I can recommend the Blue Yeti, its what I did all the average vocals with, they arent cheap new so best look on ebay I also recommend getting a shock mount as this vastly cuts down on noise and vibrations -

  • gotten to grips with the basic functionality using audacity.

Guess a pop filter is a must as well?

  • for me the only function that matters is the 'noise reduction' effect, I select a quiet section of what ever I have recorded and then apply that filter to the whole recording which gives me perfect noise-free recordings.

Yeah I am still experimenting, the one in the shot is a basic £5 pop guard, I am looking for something better as the one I have I still have to position the mic so my mouth isnt directly line-of-sight with the mic head. But all my every jack recording were with the mic in the above image.

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
