Custom Knife Sounds

**Pineapple!** · 01-17-08, 07:16 PM

First off, I wasn't sure if this should go in the improvements area or CSS, but either way:

Xplodr! and I were talking about this last night. Not sure if it would be beneficial or not, but I thought having custom knife sounds for different people might be a good idea.

Now, not just anyone, mind you, but maybe, say, for an extra amount of money on top of a reservist spot (like an extra buck or two), they could have their own custom knife sound for when they knife someone.

Certainly, I understand I'd have to download the file my first time joining the server, but lots of servers have this, and it's also like a little perk to reservists, not to mention the added income the TTP community would recieve.

Also, I'm not sure if it's even feasible, like if it'd slow the server considerably down or if the server could even house that many custom sounds. Sure would be fun though. Just a thought.

That Would be neat to have as long as it didn't affect the srv any

well I don't even think you could automate that, and no admin wants to have to go through 30+ pages of sound files to find that one, and once they do it would be too late.

That's what key bindings are for. Still, even with a G15, there is only so many key bindings you can have without running the risk of screwing yourself over, not to mention it would be a real pain in the ass.

It would be cool if you could do it as an automated thing, but I do not think there is anything out there like that, that we could use.

I only brought this up because I stumbled upon a server one night that had custom knife sounds for its reservists. dunno if it was automated or not...

I'm sure there's a way. A lot of servers do the

"[-L2P-] Adretheon IS UNSTOPABLE!!!"

thing, and that's automated. Granted It'd probably be a lot of work to do each one.

I bet it was a mattie script

That is a bit easier since it just shows your name in text and maybe the words "UNSTOPPABLE!" will be heard, that can be done with some coding fairly easily.

Having a song/sound play for each person and it being a different song for each knife kill is a bit harder to do, unless you just set it to all knife kills and play any sound at random.

The way Pineapple is thinking, at least if I'm reading that right, is each person has their own unique sound for a knife kill (or at least more people sharing a few, just to get more sounds other than our Kill Bill sound), which is a much more complex thing to do.

prolly just a quicky script which matches the players name in the kill logs to a sound file....

You hit the nail on the head, man. I'm not sure if it can or how, I'm no computer expert. Anyone know?
