id like to see better radio sounds, the ones in the intro to the NS website would be awesome!

It would add atmosphere too! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Well, I was planning on making my own post later, but as a matter of fact I've been working on my own radio pack, like I did for CS about a year ago. NS has a greater number of radio sounds, so it's going pretty slow.
Generally I find the quality of voice acting in NS to be pretty darn good, though, so I've realized I need to redo a lot of my own takes and give them more emotion. Many of my lines are from the Aliens script, where appropriate.
So far I'm using GoldWave and CoolEdit to distort the sound and add radio static. It's really labor-intensive so I don't foresee even an alpha release before the end of the year.
I just might use your ideas in my next round of takes, if you don't mind, supernorn2000. The "i need ammo" and "i need medpack" sounds are tough to balance between sounding suspenseful and just damn annoying.
Oh, what the hell, might as well post the script I'm using. If you have any tips or more ideas then post 'em up:
sack1 Roger that ---> Got it. sreq1 Where are those orders? ---> Awaiting orders! sreq2 Standin' by ---> Standin' by. sreq3 Ready to move ---> Good to go, sir. sreq4 Commander, I'm standing by ---> Anytime, commander. ssay11 Follow me ---> Form up and follow. ssay12 This way ---> Follow me. ssay21 Got yer six ---> I'll cover ya. ssay22 I'm coverin' ya ---> Got ya covered ssay23 I got yer back ---> I gotcher back.
ssay41 Medpack! ---> Medpack! ssay42 I need a medpack stat! ---> I could use a medpack! ssay51 Commander, I need ammo. ---> I'm outta ammo! ssay52 I need some ammo over here ---> Ammo! More ammo, sir! ssay53 Hey, I need some ammo over here ---> Gimme some ammo. ssay61 Now I'm in position ---> In position, sir. ssay62 In position ---> Uh, I'm in position. ssay71 Aliens spotted ---> They're here! ssay72 We've got hostiles ---> It's game time! ssay73 Xenoforms spotted ---> I see 'em! ssay81 Let's move ---> Alright, people, you know the drill! ssay82 Let's move out! ---> Alright people, let's move like we got a purpose. ssay83 Let's go ---> Alright, let's go, marines! ssay91 All clear ---> Sector clear ssay92 All clear ---> Uh, there's nothin' here, sir. marine_order_complete1 Got it done ---> Good to go! marine_order_complete2 Objective completed ---> Objective completed, sir! marine_order_complete3 Objective completed! ---> Objective completed. marine_order_complete4 Done deal ---> Completed. marine_order_complete5 We're bonito ---> Piece of cake! marine_order_complete6 It's done ---> It's a done deal.
I didn't list the taunt sounds, because frankly I think people just spam them and it gets annoying. Right now I'm torn between these three options:
1) Hudson-style whimpering. "Game over, man!" and "This can't be happening" lines. 2) Various cool lines from the Aliens script, like "Anytime, anywhere." and "I am the ultimate bad-a$$!" 3) Just a blip of static so I don't have to hear people spam taunts all the time.
good ideas <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> , sure u can use my idea. i got a few more ideas if ya wanna add them to your list <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

AMMOOOOO! doesn't exactly work, because it's not always frantic. Sometimes it would be appropriate, sometimes not. Also "they keep coming" doesnt work if you just see a gorge.

Quite frankly, I love all the radio sounds and would never consider changing them ..
but to each his own I guess .. or .. something ...
