Sound Effect replacement pack for Colobot: Gold Edition - True Destroyer - 02-19-2016 I love Colobot, but this game is 15 years old and Gold Edition hasn't changed anything about the sounds used. (I guess it's likely not going to happen). The sound effects had not aged well. Therefore I decided to replace some of them (22 files), and create a replacement pack (original files included too, as a backup). Most of the sounds were taken from freesounds.org and remade with Audacity. In the attached zips are small single audio files with all concerned effects, you can use them to compare the sounds that I found irritating to the ones that I decided to replace them with. I would replace more, but there were issues. Spoiler : If you find any other sounds annoying let me know. The ones I find annoying the most (even in 2001) were the "research center calculating" sound, the "shooter firing" sound, and the "engine overheating" sound. Post any feedback in this thread, please if you send private messages (like for my TrueLevels thread) other users cannot see how I answer your questions. The sound pack was roughly tested, but there still may be some issues, so let me know if there are any problems. V2 changelog: Spoiler : Installation: After downloading, simply put the whole .zip file in your "mods" directory (...\Program Files\colobotgold\data\mods). Don't unpack it. If you dislike some of the new sounds, remove them from the .zip file and they won't be changed ingame. To uninstall simply remove the .zip from the "mods" folder. Link: Download the sound effect replacement pack (V2) here - 4.4 MB @Edit: Thanks krzys_h for explaining that this ZIP in mods method works for any content. I should have guessed that it's not only for levels. So now you don't have to copy anything or merge folders, and installation is a lot easier! RE: Sound Effect replacement pack for Colobot: Gold Edition - krzys_h - 02-19-2016 Awesome job! These sound quite good, I think we need some official sound replacements. And like I mentioned in your other thread, for installation you can just copy "replacement" into the mods folder and it will still work fine and be easier to uninstall. RE: Sound Effect replacement pack for Colobot: Gold Edition - Simbax - 02-19-2016 There was one person who said would provide new sounds, but disappeared long time ago and there are constantly more important issues, so new sound were kind of low priority. It's good that there is at least a mod, maybe we could use some or all of them officialy in the game?

RE: Sound Effect replacement pack for Colobot: Gold Edition - RaptorParkowsky - 02-19-2016 There's some sounds that I would put into official Colobot GOLD builds even now, but most of them are a half or really bad. Well, good graphics are relatively easy to achieve but proper sounds are a lot harder, especially if GOLD's sound OpenAL implementation still is buggy and there is too much sound samples that game is playing with different speed and pitch. Without sound refactoring it will be hard to remaster GOLD's sound samples and finally change them in official repo. There's my list of likes/dislikes: Code: -- - 100% bad RE: Sound Effect replacement pack for Colobot: Gold Edition - krzys_h - 02-19-2016 If anybody needs a reference of all sound IDs with their source code names and comments: https://github.com/colobot/colobot/blob/dev/src/sound/sound_type.h If somebody could prepare an updated list of comments to go to that file that would be great. It is of course possible (and quite easy) to separate some sounds that are used in multiple places, but only for changes in the official data package. RE: Sound Effect replacement pack for Colobot: Gold Edition - RaptorParkowsky - 02-19-2016 @krzys_h : Thanks for the tip, bro! I'm not a programmer, but I feel enough of mind power to be a good code commentator ![]() |
