Runyan99 Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Downloaded the demo. Started up the desert scenario. Very first thing I hear? Those damn CM birds chirping! In the middle of the desert! Is there no relief from this Hitchcockian pestilence!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Yeah, they are new birds actually but birds all the same. You know, they do have birds in the desert and in the oasis. Originally, we had many different background sounds but we had to cut a few out in order to fit all the data onto one CD. In time, I will post some alternate background sounds (and some other sound effects I have) as a Mod Pack on CMHQ. Madmatt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runyan99 Posted November 19, 2003 Author Share Posted November 19, 2003 Sounds good (no pun intended). I will download one of the alternate sound sets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanachai Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Anything with the croaking of vultures? A good desert soundset should have the croaking of vultures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 One of my early, and deleted, versions had the persistent buzzing of fly's and other insects. It got, how to put this, INCREDIBLY ANNOYING, after a while though. So, what does everyone think of the new distant arty sounds? I spent a lot of time on those and am pretty proud of how they turned out. Madmatt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmeadows Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Very nice background artillery sounds. Very sharp and clear and this is on my work computer LOL not my home computer. Graphics look a bit sharper and this weekend will be spending some serious time on it for any change in gameplay from the previous two. Great job and can't wait to preorder the game tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be firing up my 56k tonight as well. What's 5 and a half hours of pure downloading hell anyway. I remember once, when I was downloading one of the CMBB patches, the damn thing froze up. It took me thirty minutes to even notice it had stopped. :mad: :mad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil stanbridge Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 This demo is awesome - totally awesome - well done. The sounds effects really make it for me - even if they are downsampled, they seem somewhat better than the sounds in CMBB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooz Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Hey Madmatt, maybe bombinations during bombardments would be interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sound like they've rolled over a great distance to get to the ear. They also sound full, not so much like a distant "knocking" sound, but more like a true boom. And no, I am no sound grog. :mad: Well done Madmatt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they have no headphone jack... sooooo if I turn them up at all everybody at work well be hearing me play "CM" and not working But i'm sure the sounds are wicked. :cool: as far as the birds go, that's why I supply my troops with slingshots to take them out right away....

Michael Dorosh Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 All the sounds are much better; did CMBB have a seperate sound for reversing vehicles? I don't recall it, but it seems like the CMAK demo has a seperate wav for this. The tank noise are very good too...all of it, really. Maybe Madmatt gets to keep his job after all... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Really the new sounds are all great. But the noise of bazookas firing was a bit weird. I don't know how realistic it is (very, undoubtedly) but I didn't warm to it. I especially love the new sound of a tank engine dying. Fantastic...provided it happens to the other guy. Good work, Madmatt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Because space was so limited on the CD (and the demo) both the Panzerschreck and Bazooka use the same sound. They did in the other two games as well but at least now rifle grenades and Panzerfausts have unique sounds, which they never did before. I believe the sound that we ended up using for the schrecks/zooks was that of a Panzerschreck though. The real sound of a bazooka is VERY odd I might add, so I used the one that sounded more appropriate to the weapon system. I will be collecting all my sounds that weren't used into several alternate sound mod sets no doubt.

MrSpkr Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Matt, I hope you will make the flies mod available at CMHQ. It may be annoying, but I understand the flies were omnipresent and annoying, particularly around water sources, in the North African desert. Maybe it could be tied to water tiles and village tiles (three or four buildings within a 50m radius) in the game. It would be very cool to hear the flies buzzing as you approached a village or oasis! Edited to note: the arty sounds were very nice -- had that "thunder rolling along the plains, taking four or five seconds to die out" quality.

Louie the Toad Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 MadMatt I'll bet you forgot frogs and toads again... I don't see anyone mentioning it. Would be especially great during night scenarios. Another .... Toad .... probably not heard from. Drat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Private Bluebottle Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Originally posted by Seanachai: Anything with the croaking of vultures? A good desert soundset should have the croaking of vultures. The buzzing of flies would have been a much more likely sound to be heard in the middle of a battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMplayer Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 The sounds were really nice, and added a lot to the atmosphere of my TCP last night. I was just wondering if there's any possibility of sinking the relative volume of tank engines, and increasing the volume of light and medium mortar explosions. (and perhaps some other arty as well). Being under exploding arty should sound loud as heck---especially if the camera is positioned right under where it's hitting. I realize tank engines are loud, but they drown out everything in a way that, while perhaps realistic, can be as irritating as maybe those flies were. This comment originates mainly from CMBB, so it might not be as much of an issue in CMAK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadepm Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Barking dogs! During a lull in a CC3 battle it was very eerie to hear barking dogs. Any chance of that appearing in a mod? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent a lot of time on those and am pretty proud of how they turned out. Madmatt The ambient sounds of the Arty are EXCELLENT, the first thing I noticed, after firing up the desert battle,(after the birds that is :eek: ) The better metallic sounds of the tanks is cool as well along with the gear shifting sound of other vehicles. BTW, I was playing a TCP last night and my opponent claimed to hear a "swishing sound" which he likened to a whip antenna on a vehicle snapping back and forth as the tank moved...I couldn't hear it....is there such a sound? or has my hearing gone bad? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtweasle Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 The sound is really very nice. From background arty to the engines spooling up from idle to full speed. One thing I notice though is a little sound somewhat like when you hit a stabilizing wire on an antenna when a tank moves out. I also hear the treads, and the engine sounds, but this other thing is in there that I don't quite understand what it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kburns24 Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 A note on the sounds... has anyone heard the BooYah! sound yet from an American tanker? At least it sounds like BooYah! to me. One of the tankers said that after a shot hit its mark. I am probably not hearing it correctly, but if I am I am pretty sure they didn't used slang/lingo like that in the 40s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
