Player model specific sounds needed

[Xeno]

I just played with the test sounds online. I'd like to request that it be possible to turn them off. Even with good, pseudoprofessional quality I would find the pain and death sounds very annoying and distracting. One of the things I couldn't get past the few times that I tried WSW was how unbelievably annoying all the stupid grunting and screaming were.

All the team voice messages will be great and I strongly support them... I just want to be able to opt out of audio spam.


Btw, would you consider sound clips from AGK?

Well, for one, sv_gentle server cvar certainly turns off the sounds. Opting out per-player is currently not possible, though, but can be a server option.

Jump sounds are actually opt-IN.

Thanks for the reply, div.

Ideally I'd like to be able to hear the team messages but not the grunts etc. If nothing else, maybe I can just edit/replace the ones that I don't like.

This is what we can do without handling all sounds in CSQC (which would be broken, as they currently cannot track entities).

Basically, this mixes the 8 channels an entity can have using separate cvars. You can turn off pain sounds that way - and it also is a nice debugging help.

Only works on new svn servers though, as the distribution of events over the channels was a mess before.

By the way, do you need the samples to be in mono or stereo? Tenshihan mentioned that for example the footsteps had to be mono to work with distance/direction. I don't know if this is necessary for voice chat, but I'm no audio guy anyway.

[divVerent]

Mono, preferably, as they will be spatialized by DP (but nothing breaks if they are stereo, it just won't gain anything).

That new menu looks great too. (I also just found sev's wicked menus)

Great work, thank you!

Okay, I recorded most of the required sounds Have to play around with some distortion stuff though. I heard, torus wanted to do some recordings too.
Actually I was wondering about female voices. Since we don't have many females around (at least nobody can tell, who's who ) this could be a problem. I asked a friend of mine, who's working at our local "Radio Hamburg" station, if she can find some time to record a few "arrrghs" and "urks". But since I don't know about her english pronounciation "zis might turn owt a littul strange".

Heh, some ahhs and ohhhs (will we get other sounds then meaning from her? ) should sound the same in most languages
