Well... yeah. The easiest thing is to use a beep sound repeated at a specified interval, with the sound that gets louder when the rockets comes to you. And it'd be cool too I guess. But it could be cooler IMO if that interval decreases, keeping the same volume.

Maybe for now the simplier way can be tried without any effort.

I think a constant, urgent-sounding beep that would be played until the rockets detonate would be best, and probably easiest.

We still need good beep sound. Hit sound is not suitable.

I suggested a distinguishable tone, too. Kind of like how typehit.wav is different from hit.wav. I'm not sure about making the game more cartoony with "Tag, you're it," but I bet it would get really annoying considering how often you can hit people with the TAG.

I was thinking maybe a distinguishable tone or the announcer could say "Tag, you're it!" or "Run!" I find I'm often tagged without realizing it, and I think it would be loads more fun if I was alerted to my impending doom.


The original incarnation of the tag actually did that. It played a alarm like thing once when you got hit. Ill see if I still have the sounds here some place and add it again until something better comes along.

<Diablo> the nex is a "game modification"
<Diablo> quake1 never had a weapon like that.
<Vordreller> there was no need for anything over 4GB untill Vista came along
<Samua>]Idea: Fix it? :D
<Samua>Lies, that only applies to other people.

How about a deep evil laugh from the announcer?
