Mr. Retarded's applicant thread.

[New Horizon]

Hey Mr. Have a chat in here with the rest of the team.

[Mr Retarded]

Righty.

 

What's the current status of the sound library? As in: What's been done and what things need doing? What kind of format do the sounds have to be in? I'm assuming .WAV, but you may prefer something else.

 

I'll more than happily perform a task or something to see if I'm of any use. Just tell me what I need to do, and I'll get to it.

As for sound file formats, we have this: http://www.thirdfilms.com/darkwiki/index.p...nd_File_Formats

 

We have a variety of needed sounds, be it ambient or sound effects. We have this on our Sound Todo-List:

• Metal impact sounds (metal impacting on hard or soft surfaces)
  
• Glass impact sounds (glass falling on hard and soft surfaces, glass breaking)
  
• Food impact sounds (like apples falling on the ground)
  
• Food eat sounds (small drink, large drink, foot eat soft, foot eat crunchy)
  
• Magic projectiles being fired (from spellcasters)
  
• Water effects (dripping, gurgling, water ambients (like the one in Thief when you're floating in the water), streams, etc.)
  

The list could be continued, do you spot anything you'd like to have a go at? If not, I can dig deeper.

Magic projectiles being fired (from spellcasters)

 

I'd be shocked if there weren't default D3 sounds that could cover this.

[Mr Retarded]

I'd quite like a go at doing the water effects. I assume you want them as dry (no pun intended) as possible, so effects like reverb and such can be added as necessary during gameplay?

[SneaksieDave]

Indeed, and I'd just like to add we currently use a placeholder underwater sound at the moment as well. I recently posted a link to a good one I found, but there's been no action on it.

[Mr Retarded]

Gravy. I'll see what I can do and I hope it'll be good enough to be of use.

[Mr Retarded]

Hi. Sorry about the lack of word from myself. I've been pretty busy as of late with uni work. Anyhoo, now the holidays are coming up I'll have a couple of weeks try and get myself together enough to do some recording.

 

Keep you posted.

[Mr Retarded]

It seems I've failed I'm afraid. With less free time in the holidays than I had hoped and my deadlines for all my work being sooner than I had thought I'm afraid I won't be able to do any sort of "extra-curricular" work over the next couple of months so feel free to pass the task on to someone else if you want. I'll get back to you when I have some more free time on my hands. That is if [my] help is still wanted....

 

Feel free to kill my Applicant status as I don't feel worthy of it. I hope I can pull my shit together and help out at some point. Good luck with everything and sorry for wasting any of your time.

[Nyarlathotep]

Feh, I took longer. Besides, very little time of ours is wasted waiting on an applicant; you don't need to apologize.
