List Of Requests And Requirements

[Schatten]

Comperative Sound List

This list contains pending requests and other status information on SFX. The proposed file name for each is given, but without iteration or loop appendix. SFX creators should feel free to create variations of each sound - variatio delectat.

 

If you notice a needed sound that is not listed, or if you want to request a sound, this is the place. If you want to create a sound, announce it here before starting on it.

 

 

Generic Object Interaction

 

Default

The idea of this section is to provide sounds for anything that doesn't make a very special sound. If done well, these could provide interaction sounds for a large number of objects. Variations of each sound would probably be a good idea. If a certain type of sound is not listed under the specific material section, the default sounds apply. I have included metal and wood as extra target materials since they produce a very distinctive sound. Other hard target materials such as stone, marble, gravel and soft materials like grass and fabric have very similar sound properties, and are covered by the "hard" and "soft" characteristic respectively. I've also omitted hit (impact) sounds for small objects, since they are very similar to the scraping/clattering variants.

You can move/delete this, but just wanted to mention that it might be worth going through the existing D3 sounds--I know there are several impact sounds that would fill some of the ones you listed above, particularly the metal ones.

[Schatten]

Replying to this thread is fine, I think it will be useful for SFX creators to announce interest in creating sounds (to avoid having two people working on the same thing) or other people to post requests.

 

I'll definitely go through the D3 stock sounds and look for usable stuff, just now I thought creating a list of "what are we needing" would be handy to get an overview.

[comp-music]

I work on it.......... but now i prefer waiting the list

[Schatten]

Ok, I've added a chunk of the "Tools" section.

 

comp-music, if we're moving to slow for you: If you have a specific sound in mind you want to make, but which isn't covered by the list yet - feel free to ask here if we have need for such a sound.

[Ishtvan]

I'd like to request rope climbing sounds. This would be something like the creaking of a standard hemp rope as you climb up and down, similar to the sounds in T2. We could also re-use it for climbing rope/cloth netting if needed.

[SneaksieDave]

Do we have portcullis/sliding gate/sliding stone door sounds yet? I haven't checked for a while and am unaware if this was done already.

[angua]

I've added some sliding door sounds some time ago (mostly modified tdm sounds). They're called large_rock_start, large_rock_loop and large_rock_stop and can be found in sfx/world/doors.

[Schatten]

Further updated the list.

[Schatten]

Updated with the new sounds. Coders, please report here after you used a new shader, so I can check them off.

[Schatten]

Added sword sounds

Added melee weapon impact on water

Added claw impact on flesh

 

Updated pin sounds

Updated arrow swooshs

 

Added a generic placeholder sound which can be used to pinpoint missing sounds/shaders

Request for Thief-style general "player is underwater" sound effect. I believe we're currently using some kind of Doom3 mystify ambient effect. I realize it probably cannot modulate the world sounds in some way, but perhaps a simple background type of sound would suffice (like an overlay) to simulate the effect. I have to run to work, but later I'll try to remember to shoot a movie with sound from Thief.

I have to run to work, but later I'll try to remember to shoot a movie with sound from Thief.

 

I remember vaguely that you can set a lowpass filter in shaders, which would be what we needed. However, it would be impractical to do this because for every soundshader we would need to make a copy with a lowpass filter which is triggered when the player is underwater. (Unless you can implement logic in shaders and access global vars).

 

Question to the coding dpt.: Would it be possible to set a global filter for all sounds? We would also have to exclude certain sounds (ambient, meta sounds) from that.

[Crispy]

I remember vaguely that you can set a lowpass filter in shaders, which would be what we needed.

Where did you see this? I can't spot anything immediately obvious in the sound interface. (The actual sound code isn't in the SDK, but if the functionality exists already we might be able to trigger it. Depends.)

 

There is a function that triggers some kind of "slow motion" effect, and it looks like you might be able to trigger the effect while not actually slowing down the sounds, but I haven't tried this and it may or may not be what you're looking for anyway. Nothing in the SDK seems to use it.

[SneaksieDave]

Even if external sounds can't be affected, a simple overlay type of sound like in Thief 2 would be fine:

http://208.49.149.118/thedarkmod/temp/thief2_underwa2.wav

[Schatten]

Where did you see this?

http://www.iddevnet.com/doom3/sounds.php

I seem to have confused it with mask_lfe (sending the sound to the subwoofer exclusively)

 

Sneaksie: There's a shader in place, called "underwater_bubbles", but the sounds seem not to be there? I have to look itno this...

[Crispy]

http://www.iddevnet.com/doom3/sounds.php

I seem to have confused it with mask_lfe (sending the sound to the subwoofer exclusively)

Ah, OK. I guess that's not useful for our purposes then, in which case we probably can't do anything in code to change the sound. At least until D3 gets GPLed.

[Schatten]

Ah, OK. I guess that's not useful for our purposes then, in which case we probably can't do anything in code to change the sound. At least until D3 gets GPLed.

We could try to use the OpenAL API directly I guess. I've read through the documentation, and it seems that vanilla OpenAL can't do filtering. It only offers a kind of plugin interface for effects, so you can trigger EAX functions, for example. Meaning, that for an effect like this to be also available for non-EAX systems, we would need to write our own low pass filter and manipulate the buffer with it.

 

I'm tending towards just adding an overlay sound like Sneaksie suggested and be done with it.

[greebo]

Do we have planned for player swimming sounds? We have a set of puddle sounds (sfx/movement/footsteps/movement_water*.ogg), but these are real footstep sounds, not suitable for swimming.

 

If someone (phide?) could come up with something here, it can be implemented right away by filling in the value for snd_footstep_swim in tdm_player_thief.def.

[phide]

Ahh...it's good to be back.

 

Yeah, certainly. I'll take a listen to some of my references and figure out a good way to do it.

[Crispy]

I think I just realised one of the things I was missing about our doors... they don't creak when you start to close them! There's a clunk when they finishing closing, but they're totally silent before that. I think a creak would help make them feel a lot more real, and provide better feedback for the close action.

 

This doesn't want a loud obvious noise; just a quiet subtle little creak to let you know the hinges are doing something. Ideally we'd want a few variations for different doors, too.

[phide]

I have a few, but I don't know how they'd be triggered. Ideally, they need to play after the door open sound when a door is opened and before the door closing sound when a door is closed.

[greebo]

Just upload the sounds and I can take care of the rest. An issue on the tracker should be enough to remind me of it.
