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.

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
