Hi everyone, i'm not going to assume that you've all been to the Development forum, so I will post this here as well.

I'm a sound-engineer & sound-designer and have just released a new weapon-sound pack for NEXUIZ.

I've re-done the following weapon-sounds; crylink_fire, electro_bounce, electro_fire, grenade_fire, hagar_fire, hook_fire, lasergun_fire, laserimpact, nexfire, rocket_fire, rocket_impact, shotgun_fire, and uzi_fire.

TO INSTALL my soundpack, simply navigate to your NEXUIZ system folder and paste the "sound.pk3" in the 'data' folder.

Now load-up a game and use the mutator; "HOOK" so you can hear the new sound on that as well.

I hope you like my new sounds!

You can follow the thread progress here:

(I DO accept requests for personalized sounds, ...just ask me!)

Take care all,

~Tenshihan

I downloaded them immeadiatley

The link in your post is not working, but the one in signature is working.
I like the sounds in general. Nex gun is to powerful but as ai said in the other thread - maybe the model needs changing. Doc-Python made a nice Nex model that might be perfect.

The sound I really want you to change is the Mortar grenade bounce, it sounds too weak at the moment.

Well, I tried them. The sound of the hook is funny. The laser is cool, Nex sounds like you are on quad all the time. Shotgun sounds much better. RL sounds cool. Electro is cool too.

Very good job.

ah also. Electro sound seems ripped from the Q3 BFG weapon So maybe you want to tweak that one.

Are you implying I did not know about that link? Because I knew about it.

Comment on Rocket explosion:
Less similar to an actual explosion, and more so as a clap.

Actually real explosions can be described as sounding like the 'hand of God' clapping right beside your ear. Nothing scarier then being within 100 feet of a real high-charge explosion, especiially without ear protection. I've been around plenty.

Most of the explosions that gamers are used to hearing are purposely 'dulled-down' because of ANSI law prohibiting the possible ear-damage that can ensue. This is because they're playing the same sounds over and over again. That's ok, I guess I will release a typical game-explosion sound.

BTW guys, I fixed that dead link - thanks for the heads-up.

I will be releasing a new soundpack link - probably tonight, maybe by tomorrow.

Had to be done

While still close to the subject of explosions how nutz is this:

!!! Sh*t Me.

For short: I love the sounds!

The laser sound could be a little shorter, don't get me wrong, I like it a lot but can't hear the impact sound . Rocketlauncher should sound more kind of "aggressive". Other than that the sounds are awesome.

I especially like the electro and crylink sounds, would love to see some electro secondary fire and bounce sounds, as well as mortar sounds from you (at least the grenade bounce sound, it's kind of horrible now)

Nice work!

Thanks FruitieX!

I actually have since changed the "laser_fire" sound mainly back to the default sound and just touched it up a bit - that way you can hear the "laserimpact" sound, much clearer now. I thought the Laser sounded pretty cool to begin with, ...I was just experimenting, but have since noticed that a lot of players like things the way they were.

I'm guessing that you are referring to the "rocket_fire" sound, ...hmmn, ...I tried a louder more aggressive sound before - but it distracted too much from other gameplay elements and I found it was hard to track other players when the rocket was too loud, ...maybe I can modify this file for you personally, ...perhaps by boosting it about 30% or so and see if you like it. (I always try to do nice things for people when they are nice, however I ignore the rude ones.)

On a happy note, I HAVE changed the Mortars' "Grenade_Bounce" sounds back to the heavier older version. Now they sound great! No longer like a fork on a tin can.

I'm still working right now - and have all my software programs open on my desktop - haha!

Well, for now, ...I'm back to the drawing board - so to speak...

Check in later!

Here you go guys;

(See my signature for the link)

Love it, or DIE. (yes i'm kidding, ...jeez)

Yes! These sounds are very nice now, love them all!

Did you change something with the rocketlauncher? Cause it's great now! (maybe it's just me changing headphones )

The mortar secondary is perfect too!

The only sound that I don't like too much is the shotgun fire, it's somehow just too loud and sharp (maybe I just need to get used to it).

Kickass!!!!!

the only problem of the shotgun sound is it doens't fit the model.

the uzi is best and crylink not bad either, but might want to remove the "recoil" sound from the secondary.

Yes, I changed the rocket-launchers 'rocket_fire' at your request because you were the one who pointed out that it sounded weak before, so kudos to you!
I also changed the 'rocket_impact' sound because too many people didn't like the old one sounding like a real explosion, so now it's all hollywood.

Yeah the problem with the shotgun sound is it's a recording of a real shotgun, and the model is based on fantasy (yet it still fires 'buckshot' unlike some fantasy-based rounds that would match the model), so I guess it's hard for people to combine mentally.

However, there is this alternative 'realistic' shotgun model available for download, maybe that would help? (I love it!)

I've JUST changed the shotgun to be slightly quieter and turned the treble down at your request, ...please PM me your email so I can send it to you directly.

Thanks again for your positive feedback!

To R-BOT,

Thank you very much!

To 4M,

Which weapons' recoil do you mean?

Ha, the new sound fits great with Doc's shotgun model!

Just a little quirk: The sounds "overlap" slightly when you fire the shotguns secondary mode (the second shot starts playing too quickly and mutes the first one at a bad time, and third starts playing too quickly, muting the second one at a bad time). It's anyway barely noticeable, but annoys me (I guess there isn't much to do about it, at least from your side *points at developers*)

IMHO it sounds way better by changing g_balance_shotgun_secondary_animtime from 0.2 to 0.25. (And that shouldn't change gameplay much).

Edit: Oh and another note to the devs: Don't mute the nex fire sound when changing weapons. (or any other weapon's sound for that matter )

The Crylink's secondary fire should use its own sound.

Oh, and i don't like the hook sound at all.

Second all that.

I don't like the hook at all

Hook sound is awesome. Don't change it
lol, everyone have different opinions.

I love the new hook sound

But I don't use the hook anyway

4m wrote:The Crylink's secondary fire should use its own sound.

The Crylink doesn't have any other fire sound, it only has the one sound. It uses the same sound for both fire modes (Left-click & Right-click = same sound).

As for the hook, if you don't like it - you can simply delete it from the sound folder I made and the default will still work.

Keep in mind that if you don't tell me exactly what it is that you don't like - I can't fix it to please you.

Thank you Morfar!

Yes, everyone does have their own opinion, which is why they are free to NOT use my sounds if they don't like them.

Cheers!

On another note, I have fixed the 'Electro_Bounce' sounds so it now sounds like a ball of sparking electrical plasma, (no more damn bouncing balls of glass) and the Machine-Gun is also fixed up nicely.

your hook sound actually fits and makes sense, but i just like the default which doesn't really fit to the hook. i think it's the same as one of the hagar sounds.

The hook makes me horny..

Now all we need is a real looking rope!

Hot women always ask me,
"What is that line in the center of your screen?"
"Oh, it's just my super awesome line that appears out of thin air and allows me pull myself to the location the green triangle I fired lands. I'm surprised you couldn't figure that out!"
"Why don't you just get those a rope and grapple like in Agent Under Fire for PS2?"
"Pssssh"

pfft some people have all the fun.
