Sounds in Empires kind of sound... dated. Let's bring in some fresh ones from actual combat. All these have Creative Commons 0, or Public Domain. New BIO-ML/Cannon Explosion sound Plasma Cannon Firing New RPG firing sound Artillery Firing Sounds New Heavy MG sounds Multiple Tank Firing Sounds (HE/Std Cannon?) ER Cannon sound (The last bit) Sniper Sounds Another Tank Firing Sound Gunshot Sounds Railgun Sound Possible Second Railgun Sound? HE Arty Explosion Different Engine Sound (For something?) Engine Sound Plasma MG Tank Shooting Again 9MM Pistol Shot Reload Sound More Reload MOAR RELOAD! New Rifle Sounds Shotgun Running on Dirt/Grass Walking then running on Undergrowth Running in Water Running on Snow Walking then Running on Grass Breathing heavy then slow Footsteps on Leaves Footsteps on Gravel Yea not all of them are usable. Tried finding some that are.
I agree. I like this proposal. There's also a bullet 'flyby' folder under sound/physics that seems to be quite nice. Unused right now, though. It would be cool to see some more realism.
Here's some Bullet Flyby That would be an AWESOME addition. Maybe make your screen go shellshock like in RO2 if bullets keep landing around you or you are near an explosion. But seriously, we should really get some new sound effects. They are aging heavily and some new ones would be great. Hell... we could even have engine sound different so we could DIFFERENTIATE THEM!
Would be cool to see some new sounds when hovering/clicking on the default Empires main menu. These would replace the default HL2 ones.
Although Engines are an integral part of vehicle combat they consist of multiple variables, hence it may be difficult to differentiate them... (Insert maths based pun here) Back on topic; I think new sounds would be great. Especially for bio cannon. As for separate engine sounds? That'd be a great idea but can you find 6 different engine sounds?
