saxmeister 9 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Greetings- I've been working on some SFX while I've had some downtime. Here are some samples that I think haven't been filled in yet on CVS. Start Level soundLevel Start SFX test 1 (may be a bit bass heavy, but it gives me cold chills when it plays at loud volumes!) sfx_creepy_voices.ogg (similar to the creepy voices from T1/T2 - I played around until I got close)[added 1/5/6] Piano Frobs (5 samples from which to choose)frob_piano1.oggfrob_piano2.oggfrob_piano3.oggfrob_piano4.oggfrob_piano5.ogg Another possible "tension" ambient (similar to T2 style)fx_tension_orch1.ogg "Haunt" SFX (New 7 Jan 06)fx_haunt_joinus.oggfx_haunt_soul.ogg More on the way.... I'm reposting the links to some of these from a while back. Ambientsambient_haunt_v2.ogg (this was the version with less bass - I'm learning the art of compression finally!) rain_loop.ogg (this was recorded in a light rainstorm but should be labeled for forest crickets or something similar) SFXclocktick_60_loop.ogg (for the mansion)clocktick_30_loop.ogg (also for the mansion) Quote "Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid."- Frank Zappa Link to post Share on other sites
pakmannen 1 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Hey! Nice to see you again! Looking forward to the samples! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saxmeister 9 Posted January 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Got a few more added today. Just look through the ones above. Will do more as soon as I can.

pakmannen 1 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Downloading em right now. I'll get back to you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pakmannen 1 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Right! frob_piano - Nothing to add here, they're perfectly fine. I'll upload em to CVS next time I do that clocktick - Sounds good as well. Question: Do the names have something to do with the ticking frequenzy? rainloop - Yeah, sounds like something tropical almost Woodsie/forest thing. haunt_version2 - Waht, no bass? Heh, anyway, nice work here too. Nothing for me to whine about tense - Ah, nice! Saxmeister strikes again! Fits well with the trippystrings. creepy_voices - Finally! Someone did the creepy voices! I think I'm gonna do one of these myself someday.. It's sooo funny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saxmeister 9 Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Thanks for the kind words, Pak. I'm really trying to capture that Thief 1/2 feel more and get back to the original basics! I love the creepy voices and I'm glad I finally figured out how to do them "correctly." I'll post some more whenever I can.

Ishtvan 17 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Nice creepy voices. In reverse, sounds like it's saying: "Now to the woods and offer up your flesh. Woodsie manfools to the woodsie lord" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saxmeister 9 Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 @Ishtvan: I think I remember doing something like that.... Someone's been playing with my sound files! Ahhh, Grasshopper.... you listen well!

pakmannen 1 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 The ticking things though.. The names? ("Do the names have something to do with the ticking frequenzy?") Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saxmeister 9 Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Yes, the 30 means 30 ticks a minute (1 every 2 seconds, like a larger clock) and the 60 means 60 ticks a minute (1 every second, maybe for a smaller clock). These could be chopped up to be much shorter since they are the same sound repeated, but I left it like this so that it could be heard easily.

Darkness_Falls 73 Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Yep, good work on these, Saxmeister Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pakmannen 1 Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Fer Chrissakes, even more machine sounds! On a more serious note: um, nothing to complain about, all sounds good. I should get your latest batch uploaded soon. Question for the more aware members: Is CVS fine now? Can I sync up? There was some kind of organizing going on with the models, but that's finished now or what? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ishtvan 17 Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 AFAIK things work again with the latest CVS version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Springheel 4678 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 There are a handful of models that are currently showing black, but nothing serious.

saxmeister 9 Posted January 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Sorry Pak! I'm not trying to overwhelm with machine type sounds, but these are intended to be used for any type of mechanical sounds such as arming a mine, disarming a mine, mechanical eye zoom in and out, small robots, ambient rumbles in a mechanist area, etc. Not just another load of "this is machine sfx loop #5432". These are more organic than the ones I was posting last year and don't sound like soft synths gone wild. They are definitely meant to be used like sound effects for lockpicks, locking doors, unlocking doors, but some are loops. @Darkness: Thanks for the kind words!

pakmannen 1 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Yeah, I kinda figured. The whirring noise could probably be used for a number of different things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Subjective Effect 24 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Why are we having haunt speech? Haunt speech that says the same thing as the haunts in Thief? Quote I want your brain... to make his heart... beat faster. Link to post Share on other sites
saxmeister 9 Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Well, there was a call for it in the design docs and I haven't seen or heard any of the dialogue that has been written for the game other than "Hey, did you notice anything funny over there?" and "Hmph, step aside, you!" so I was using the original series lines for reference. Also, one of the placeholders for the revenants in the DarkMOD downloads was done with the Macintosh speech program so I tried to do something with real voices. Wasn't it Ralph or Sam with the raspy voice? (revenant1_relaxed_1.ogg was a real voiceover and was pretty awesome!) These can be quickly modified and made to say anything or made out of anything that any of the voice actors can do. I just wanted to try to get the style down. If I had some lines for the haunts I could do those lines in the same style.
