Lockpick sound request

Recommended Posts

I just noticed that we don't have a soundfile for when a door is already picked, and the player tries to use the lockpick again on it. In this case we should play a short klick, so that the user knows that this door doesn't need to be picked anymore.

 

I also noticed that the lockpick pin sounds are rather loud, this has to be adjusted later. Might also be that we have to work over them a bit. Not sure if they are really appropriate at the moment.

The sound files are supposed to be loud... that way they use as much of the available precision as possible to store the waveforms. You can turn down the volume in the sound schema I believe, rather than editing the sound file itself.

My games | Public Service Announcement: TDM is not set in the Thief universe. The city in which it takes place is not the City from Thief. The player character is not called Garrett. Any person who contradicts these facts will be subjected to disapproving stares.

Yup, we'll tweak the sound schema when the time is right.

Yup. I didn't mean to make the soundfiles itself more silent, but I figured there would be some options in the shaderparameters.

 

BTW: I also need a frustrated pin sound. :) One that is played when the player breaks the lockipicking to early, or when he uses the wrong lockpick, to give him a hint that something is wrong. And I also need one additional pin sound. Currently we have 1-14 but I also need a sound for number 0 totalling it to 15 different pin clicks.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.
