I will remember today as a glorious day, as the day… I created my first working sound from scratch and got it working in CE2.
After several minutes of exposing my ears to the sheer terror of a sound so high it sounds like your mother when I give her pleasure, I have finally crafted a new sound for the stealthy amongst us (or the non-stealthy depending on how you look at it): a new cloak sound. (Queue angelic “Aaaah”)
However, I remain doubtful whether this pinnacle of sound design will be appreciated to its fullest by you players, and thus have come to the conclusion a poll is in order. But first!
Although everything is possible and every suggestion will be taken into thorough consideration, the sound should meet certain criteria in order to be useful and fulfil the cloak’s purpose: It mustn’t be loud and it mustn’t be too prominent, and it mustn’t sound like your mother when you give her pleasure. There are two obvious choices that meet these criteria: a very high frequency hum and a very low frequency hum. You can suggest other stuff as well, but in the end it’ll probably have to be some sort of hum.
If you’re one of those people who likes to spoil perfectly fine polls by voting for the “Other” option, please explain in a comment below. Remember this is a poll, not an election, so maybe I’ll just completely disregard the result. Just kidding, I’ll consider everything.
It works? AWESOME.
Middle. WeeeWawwwp. Bit of dubstep styley!
Including my own vote, the odds are in favour of the really high tone with 45%, 36% and 18% right now. That’s 9 votes.
I’m still hesitant about what I’ll do with the cloak, though; there might end up not being a sound at all. And to the person who suggested I use the original sound but quieter: I can’t change it because I can’t change the FMOD library and I can’t extract the source file for the sound.
Why do you want to change it in the first place ?
if you’re gonna go it, and since you can’t extract the sound
I suggest you find/record some buzzing sounds (no bees!) maybe high-current lines ?
you can mix some sounds to get it perfect.
how about a random sound that sometimes it’s loud and sometimes it’s quiet ?
make it Dynamic.
Although I’m experimenting with no sound at all at the moment, I did create my own non-bee buzzing sound :P
