Explosions and incoming artillery sounds

[Sitzkrieg]

OK. Too many requests and no email servers that will take this file. (too big!)

So, anyone who wants to check out the explosion and incoming arty sounds I have collected can get them here.

Comments welcome, constructive or otherwise. I'm sure I'll get a few of both with this group.

For those that don't know, it's a 3,2MB sound file.

Well done, sir, they surely the sound as well as my bloating .wav folder!

Sincerely,

Your welcome.

These were really never intended to go beyond my hard drive so I'm glad others are enjoying them. I was definately going for more of the short "CRUMP" effect instead of the default sounds which sounded more like blasting in a strip mine.

Also, thanks to WineCape for pointing out the size of the file. Forgot to mention that in my initial post.

Thanks for putting them with in reach. I love a big boom!

tanks, me like bigga bomba!!!

[Cauldron]

Well done of that.

Excellent series...

I like these too, a little more muted but definitely bone thumping. But I noticed that bazooka shells that miss now hit the ground with a pretty big thump...is this accurate? Seems a bit too deep of a sound for a 60mm shell at such a low speed and shallow angle.

An unfortunate side effect. I might look into that and find out which file is used for misses. I believe it is the 00000200.wav. You might try going back to the BTS original or your previous sound if you have a backup.

As a side note, I think I might submit these to CMHQ or another site. Where I have them now has to be strictly temporary. The new post will probably include an alterate "miss" sound if I can get that worked out.

Any CM site owners want to publish this?

Yeah, I like it a lot. Very good work, Sitzkrieg! I'm using all Scipio's stuff (which is great IMO) except for I've slipped your arty sounds in over the top. The game just keeps getting better.

Thanks again!

Binkie,

I took a listen to the "miss" sound issue. Unfortunately, Panzerschrecks and Bazookas use a varying sound, anywhere from 00000200.wav to 00000209.wav. So if you fix that problem of Bazooka or AT shell with a smaller sound, you end up with wimpy mortar or shell explosions for 81mm and 75mm and all direct fire guns below 100mm.

I will provide some alternate sounds for the small explosion series (00000200.wav - 00000202.wav) if I can find some that are a good compromise.

[Binkie]

Yeah, I messed around with it myself and came to the same conclusion about the shared sounds. It's too bad, kind of like the shared texture issue with certain AFVs.

I would love a compromise sound if you can find one...I had to go back to the wimpy sound for now.

Thanks for your work!
