Sound effects/foley?

<div class="IPBDescription">Are mappers doing their jobs?</div>What's up folks,

Been tracking the mod for a while, kudos to Flayra and the team for sticking with the project and delivering.

In original Half-Life, the feeling of immersion was strongly supported by foley (background noise and sounds).  How are NS maps in this respect?  Do steam, water droplets hitting metal floor, electrical buzzing, door servomotors,
empty shells hitting the floor, splattering bile bombs,
all produce appropriate sounds?  Does fade's scythe make a whooshing sound?  Do computers talk to you in sexy female voices <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> ?

The reason why I am asking is because I have good speakers and positional sound, and I loved Half-Life's reverb modeling...  Nothing like firing a double-barreled pumpy and hearing the echos roll down a metal pipe.

Stan R.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, no, yes, yes-ish, and ohoho, yes.

Flayra

Yes to all counts.  Fam, what did you say no to?  Bullet casings make noise when they hit...

Fam, I believe the word you're searching for is "pwn3d."  <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->  Flayra, have I mentioned I love you?

Loving Flayra is a GIVEN, you don't need to say it <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

FFS.  Small weekly sacrifices to Flayra and starting countless "Thank You Flayra" Forum Topics/emails are ENTIRELY different things.  Snapperhead.

Umm, i think that ns maps have cool sounds and not just visuals =)

One of the entities Flayra created uses an ingame MP3 player to play any MP3 the mapper wants, so yes, the maps that are offical make good use of this to play ambient sounds in MP3s.

I think there's only one string of characters that could describe this post...
