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.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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?
