I'm having problems sourcing decent internal and external 70mm rocket audio FX. Going quietly insane browsing online videos with enough quality, no music or talking, background noise. Might have to see about recording something, internally its similar to someone banging on a metal shutter.
Made some big improvements to stores loading, adding of preset load-outs and I nudged one of the shorter hydra rocket types so it sits forward in the M261 pod to make them visible (to facilitate zone loading).

Like someone saying "SHH!" really loud
ReplyDeleteThink maybe I'll grab some recording gear and visit the library tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteMore like a small firework/rocket going up. There must be something like that available. It can't be too obnoxious a sound as you can ripple a lot of rockets.
Not the best quality but I hope it helps anyway:

Here imo best rocket sound, used in eech .I know not clear, but easy to separate.

ReplyDeleteNow now, steady on chaps. Everyone's just trying to help.
ReplyDeleteFunny think about that EECH video, I don't remember adding "You have control" to the script. Although there was a bunch of things I thought would be relevant that didn't make the cut. Was that added later as an audio mod?
ReplyDeleteIt is veeery old video,probably do not have these messages in later versions.I'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteBTw OT new trailer Skyrim- absolutely amazing :O

I don't like Elder Scrolls games. Oblivion put me off with the character creation. You were given total freedom to create a multi-class character, fantastic...but then punished for doing so later in the game by really duff balancing. It was too easy to create a non-viable hero.
ReplyDeleteI think it just depended on you, in which the direction you trained character.You want melee mage with heavy hammer and fireball?No problem.It's stupid? Yes that's stupid;)Such are the limitations of the game. But you do not have to do this.At the beginning you need have visions of your character.And go in this direction.
ReplyDeleteThere's a FFAR sound I created in the sound zip file I sent over. It's not the best possible sound but it should be a good base to work from. It could do with a louder thump at the beginning.
ReplyDeleteCheers
AD, only just found them in a hard to see compressed archive. Thanks for the heads-up.
ReplyDeleteI applied first a high-pass then a low pass filter, then increased the tempo by 80%, finally increasing the bass. That makes it sound close to what I want (a combo of the metalic shutters and a "shuush").
Could use a little more pink noise but I'm happy with it. Cheers.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
ReplyDeleteThe time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.
??
Flexman with cheers, Dave singing no cheers, WTF world ends O_o
ReplyDeleteDark side of the moon...best album of Pink Floyd
No, I said Pink Noise, not Pink Floyd :)
ReplyDeleteAlthough the lyric is quite apt heh
If you like Pink Floyd, maybe you might want to chill to the jammin of Phill Manzanera (who also was in Red Dwarf briefly as Lister's hands playing guitar).
ReplyDeleteFrom "The Wasted Lands" which I chill to when programming from time to time....

With large rocket salvos you can get a lot of smoke overdraw in a short amount of time, so what I'm going to do is set the emitter density according to the selected salvo count. See how that works out.
ReplyDeleteYou don't get much smoke later in flight, just the first two seconds but it gets stupid if you select all 19 rockets...on two pods.
I know this effect ;) in EECH max salvo rockets looks great,but for 5 sec do not see anything from the cockpit.

Once you mentioned about JoAnn Funk,Listen if you do not know Norah Jones http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBKcKQHZXks&feature=related
especially album Come away with me.
Maybe you will be interest-see the explosions at: 21 wow

Will be a huge requirement,texture must occupy hundreds of megabytes RAM, so far Arma 2 requires a mighty hardware,and it is unplayable on most hardware on high detail.
ReplyDeleteBut the shock wave looks amazing.
It looks like it's filmed because it is filmed. The only thing in-game is the Commanche.
ReplyDeleteCheers
You are the expert;) all write that they are concatenated scenes from the game with the film.BUT... shockwave .... ;))
ReplyDeleteBattlefield 3 looks almost photoreal. A convergence of graphics that eventually leads to games looking similar. I wait with interest to see what happens then.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, going back to the Arma3 teaser, the smoke/explosion looks similar to a megaparticle technique where you render the explosion as a geometric shape (a group of simple spheres) and then apply a fractal cubemap as noise then Gaussian blur. You get really good directional lighting on smoke plus the geometry fully interacts with surrounding objects.
Your knowledge scares me sometimes.
ReplyDelete8^)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Jeff, how many times you tried write?;)
ReplyDeleteTalking about the title entry , I have adequate video for this

i finally gave up and signed up for blogger.... I feel so used.
ReplyDeleteBanita, are you with ED working on A-10?
Sh*t, I do not know what to write.
ReplyDeleteAnswer no-I lose respect,i say yes-lie :|
OK...Its cool either way... I thought I saw your name on the ED forums... maybe as a tester.
ReplyDeleteHey Banita that Argentinian pilot is damn lucky he didn't kill someone. Crazy flyby. I remember when a Herc did a low flyby at Weston_on_the_Green in UK and unfortunately took decapitated an onlooker. Flyby's went a bit quiet for a whileafter that.
ReplyDeleteLiked the way he over-G'd the aircraft on the pull up too ;)
Druid-The same thought, it was awfully stupid after all, could kill myself and a few people.
ReplyDeleteAD was showing me some more expensive Battlefield 3 explosions. For all the fluff and effects if we added stuff like that into the game, even lens flares, it would look out of place.
ReplyDeleteHappy to push the styling a bit but don't want to go too much in the photo-realism direction, wasting time better spent on game depth.
Ta. I just added some rocket trails and they are not too different although not as bright, rocket motors generally don't put out much smoke and only burn for a very short duration.
ReplyDeleteModel Rockets would be a good source for Sound FX
ReplyDeleteThe larger D & F motors should be good enough & are fairly cheap :)
