[IDEA] Quakesounds (Page 1 of 2)

hmm yes nice idea, i think it could be possible, and maybe add some new things after unstoppable, like
GODLIKE, Teegod etc...
or something

after unstoppable comes godlike
it is possible, but only if the player changes the audifile with the new for the killingspree. (=> wouldnt be that effectable). but you can code a always used audiofile to the killingsprees...

Actually, if you want special sound like one for lvl-up, you'll need special server mod with sounds added and modded client which understand the server and which got the sound needed.

In a few word, you can't just make a new sound in the server, because it won't be played by the client, which would perhaps bug.

It is possible with a client AND a server modification. First of all you need a client modification to include the new custom sounds. Then the server needs to be programmed that it sends "play this new custom sound"-information to the client, when a certain event occurs. 
War3 uses a workaround: it uses unused sounds, which still are in the code and standard distribution.

so, there is no way for the client to play a sound without the server command? o.o

You must hide the Broadcust and let the sound there...
But if you make it so, than are broadcasts by admins are crashing the server...
I have tested it...
I have written a Protcast, but than came an overflowing error and it must be ended

I've started developing this client mod.
I need only an explanation from some devs... posted in the right topic... http://www.teeworlds.com/forum/viewtopi … 430#p51430

For who want this mod:
Pls post here a list of sounds u want to use in this mod... maybe Quake Ones, UT Ones, or what u want... (would be really nice have tee-ish sound XD). Could be also really helpful for me if someone make a collection of these sounds. (only original sounds please, i dont want to break copyrights in the release of this mod... ).

I'm doing like this, checking server's chat messages (***) and broadcast. After the client mod I'll do also a server mod with more events broadcast (all you want, just tell me before )

tnx ubuntu for your ideas.
I see your point of view, and i can say your ideas are really nice, but making something that could be integrated in the official client is too difficult for me and, like seen, there are no ather dev interested to this project... -.-"

This what i'm doing and what I'll do (maybe in the future someone could use my work for integrate this better in the original project):

CLIENT MODIFICATION:
when there are some keywords (like "Killing Spree" or "Rampage" in the server chat messages (***) or in the broadcast, will be played the relative sound i added to the audio folder.
This method will work for server that already exists (instagib and vanilla spree-patched server), but I'll need a modified server too for best generate events.
I'll do this mod on the vanilla client and on the z-team client, and maybe for the zteam client i could add icons like in Quake.

SERVER MOD:
this will be only an improvement of the actual spree-patch, for vanilla and instagib, with more events based on a timer. Every spree won't be broadcasted but written in chat trough server messages (***). So, thevents will be give to all clients and the sound will be played by all.
I wanna say some events are based on time (double kill, multi-kill, and so on), some other like Killing Spree and Rampage are not based on sounds but on kills until the death of the player, like now in some patched server.

And, like said before, i would be pleased if someone could make this sound in tee-style. Actually i'm using UT, Quake and Counter Strike sounds for my Teeworlds events (Flag dropped, flag returned, etc.) and i rly like them. I don't think Quake original sound are too different from Teeworlds gameplay, they'll fit fine. But i need a list of events u want for this mod.

I think instead of copying ideas from other games we should think about what makes teeworlds unique, and make up sounds/icons for theese ones. I also would like not to have a dozen, just really a small set of theese things. What comes to my mind is:

- fastest capture during a ctf game, could be a wing icon ( or something resembling speed )
- hitting multiple times in a row with the laser could be some sound message like "Sharpshooter"

But not that GIGA-KILL stuff. And besides that killing 6/10 people in a ctf ( i think that applies to all game types ) match is quite rare, i would say tw is a "kill, die, respawn" game, not a "one man army" game.

I don't like the idea about the fastest capture. In a ctf game, the capture time depends of so many things that it would mean nothing.

Let's see what could be a special action in CTF :
    * +1 for taking the flag from the flag stand
    * +1 for returning the flag
    * +1 for fragging the enemy flag carrier
    * +5 for capturing the flag

So for ctf, I would propose :
- Capture medal/sound : you captured the flag
- Defense medal/sound : you killed the enemy flag carrier
- Assist medal/sound : you carried a bit the flag and an ally captured it, you killed the enemy flag carrier and then your team captured it

In general :
- "Excellent" medal/sound : you made two kills in less than X seconds
- "Impressive" medal/sound : you made two consecutive hits with the laser
- "Humiliation" medal/sound : you killed someone with hammer

All of these medals are from Quake 3.

Btw making an icon appear above the head of the player is very easy to do - with emoticons. The default set has 4 unused images where you can add icons, then when something happens ( hitting in a row with laser ) the server forces the player to do the appropriate emote; ofcourse it also needs a server side protection which denies players from making those special emotes with binds. I hope im clear oO.

Using the emoticons is really a good idea - cause it uses an already given tw-feature.

It's possible to add more new emotes, so you maybe shouldn't see 4 as the limit.

Remember the 80s - good times
