Sound Request -- Footsteps

Hey comp-music. You said at one point you could make some footstep sounds for us on different materials (wood, stone, metal, etc). I'd love to see what you could come up with if you have time. Our current sounds are not that great.

Here is a list of all the materials that could potentially use footsteps. :)

 

4 foot steps per sound should be enough variety...and some of them could probably be used for more than one material type.

 

# metal

# stone

# wood

# cardboard

# liquid

# glass

# plastic

# tile

# carpet

# dirt

# gravel

# grass

# rock

# twigs

# foliage

# sand

# mud

# brokeglass

# snow

# ice

# squeakboard

# puddle

# moss

# cloth

# ceramic

# climbable

# slate

# straw

And something that doesn't sound like a man in iron boots would be great. Instead of "stomp, stomp" something that actually makes a heel-toe sound. I'm sure you'll come up with something great. :)

I found a great plug to lessen the reverb on the footsteps.

Dominion - signal modeling device:

http://www.digitalfishphones.com/main.php?...2&subItem=4

* Envelope section. Adjust attack & sustain independently, regardless of input level. Plus, you have control over the envelopes' time constants. Imagine pulling a drummer up front or pushing him to the background by dragging just a single slider! Feel like moving the walls around him? Again, a single push enhances the room information or can make the sound really dry.

Imagine doing things like this with other instruments as well... :)

 

* Saturation stage. Following digitalfishphones tradition, the plugin can help to reduce harshness often associated with digital recordings, giving back some warmth and life to your source by modelling classic analog equipment. The tonal character stays adjustable within a broad range.

 

* High frequency details section. Similar to classic exciter circuits, this section allows you to brighten up a signal, giving transparency and depth by generating additional harmonics.

 

* Non-clipping output stage. Like the endorphin compressor, a brickwall waveshaper circuit ensures that the output won't exceed -0.1dBFS, while remaining sonically clean.

 

If you're familiar with software synths and shaping those sounds with different attack/decay envelopes, then this plugin does the same thing with audio. Currently the sustain (decay) is at -45 @ 30ms thus removing the reverb tails of the concrete/stone/metal footsteps.

 

After I test a bit, should I upload to SVN?

 

EDIT: Nevermind, just saw this thread:

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?

      Hope everyone has the blessing of undying motivation for "The Dark Mod 15th Anniversary Contest". Can't wait to see the many magnificent missions you all may have planned. Good luck, with an Ace!
