These sound files might have a use (from original WZ demo)

Post by Arreon »

I still have an Eidos CD with a Warzone 2100 demo on it (2 in fact). I've played the new 2.3.5 RC and I was having a lot of fun. But one thing I did notice was that there was no sound coming from the Sunburst weapons. So I reinstalled the demo (in another directory of course) and decided to pay the audio folder a visit (as a little kid, I used to hack the game's sound and replace it with raspberries, bashing, and random noises :P).

I found three possibly useful WAV files (which I converted to OGG). One I think should be the Sunburst's firing sound.

In the demo, Warzone 2100 had explosion sounds of three intensities: small, medium, and large. The Warzone we now use is missing the Medium Explosion. Maybe this could be implemented sometime, maybe for the Sunburst, Medium Cannon, Tank Killer, Mortars, Rail Gun, and maybe others.

I also found a rocket firing sound, which is fitting for some rockets, like the Sunburst, Mini-pod, MRL (or whatever it's called now), Ripple Rockets, Seraph missiles, maybe even Scourge.

And lastly, I found an alternate Howitzer flight sound (in other words, when the shells are whizzing through the air).

IMPORTANT: I'm worse than a noob when it comes to licenses and everything. If something's wrong, please let me know.

Medium explosion kind of sounds close to the large explosion lrgexpl.ogg, howitz flight sounds close to hwtzflgt.ogg, and rocket firing sounds close to rocket.ogg. I think the ones we currently have are pretty good already... Then again, it might be nice to have a different effect for rocket and missile firing, and a medium explosion could be useful...

I've mad a mod of sorts with the Medium explosion and the rocket firing sounds. It wouldn't hurt to consider implementing them in a future WZ release.
