Sound Request: Failed to Drop Item


Ishtvan

Recommended Posts

We need a sound for when you want to drop an item from your inventory into the world (including a shouldered body) but there is no room to put it in front of you.

 

In Thief, this was a generic grunt "ugh", in TDS, it was the much-reviled "uh-uh." Currently we have no sound, and without any feedback, it just feels like the game missed the drop command when you try to drop and there's no room.

How about a non-intrusive "tone" that would let the user know that the action isn't working? Below are a few ideas (intentionally quiet so as not to disturb the player as much):

If not we can create a typical "grunt" sound.

I have a feeling those could easily be missed if there were ambient music playing.

 

Personally, a simple grunt is the least immersion-breaking sound I can think of as feedback.

Okay, I have included four to try. I tried to match the character's voice as much as I could although my voice is a bit deeper. But, hopefully it is close enough to not be distracting.

Doesn't matter if they match really, as I'll be recording a whole new voice set for the main character very shortly, so they'll be replaced eventually.

      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.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
