There is my progress on CA's sounds. So far I have put the most work into replies, I think I am only missing ships, subs, hovercraft move and windmill select. I have collected all of the free weapon sounds from CA as well as some ok sounding explosions.

I think I have enough plasma cannon sounds for all plasma cannon shooters, there are a few rocket sounds but not enough and I do not have a beamlaser sound.

Many of the sounds have been combined with others and edited in other ways. Origin of each sound is in origin.txt of each folder. All the info is there, I am not unpacking that many sounds into your nice format.

ot warning: Thanks for adding mine, but why as wav and not as ogg? it would save 400 kb, offers same quality and is natively supported by spring.

just switch to that BA human sounds mutator

Really? Everything else I've seen were wavs so I thought they worked best.

[Tribulex]

wavs are better in terms of performance. ogg takes more cpu, obviously, since its compressed and has to be decompressed

Wrong.

oh?

Weren't there disadvantages when it's about mixing multiple .oggs being played at the same time? Didn't they even get converted into standard .wav format internally? I'm not sure anymore but there once was a discussion about that ending with no one needing high quality 44KHz 16Bit Stereo sound effects and with all the sound effects not taking that much space there's no real gain in compressing them as they're child's play to modern PCs...

[Tribulex]

there arent many situations where you should be using stereo sound effects, since each sound has a position in 3d or 2d space.

Then the sound effect should not, itself, be stereo: There would be no point?

Is this jeopardy?

use FLAC if you want to save space not ogg, it looses too much quality, and stereo is ALWAYS a good idea to use because during mastering the channels will eventually be normalized (that is if you do any mastering) and that will ensure equal gain between the two channels.

and yeah, sounds dont take that much cpu for a while now.

what is the point if using them in the game in the form of the reduced quality ? what is that a demo version of the mod ?

[Pxtl]

Well, yes, you may as well *archive* your sounds in FLAC and keep them stereo if you have stereo information - but in terms of actually using them in the game? Mono, ogg.

So use stereo or else mastering will produce unequal gain between ... the one single channel? o_O

Does Spring even support FLAC or did you just copy an wholly irrelevant misadvice heard elsewhere?

Hey you know what, even .wav and audio-cd are lossy format!

When an audio format is said to be non-lossy, it's only compared to audio cd >_>

Also, please explain me what is the point in having sounds that contains details and frequencies no human ear can hear.

WTF ? you master the stereo not the mono jeez stop replying to things you know nothing about.

spring is a nub project, only vesion 0.8 so far, so for now use WAV until FLAC is supported.

even .wav and audio-cd are lossy format!

format itself not - go to sound school FFS or GTFO already.

s/frequencies no human ear can hear/frequencies my human ear cant hear
no hi-fi ? OMG nub !

yes idiots like you who reply to things they know nothing about, OMG just look at that topic what happened to it

only one request, if you use any of these please use them only once in at most one mod only, not a requirement only recomendation, but it would be best if mods be original, so if you need a sound I will do my best to make it for your mod

Keep in mind you need to downmix all them to mono before using in spring.
