"Well thats it man! GAME OVER MAN! GAME OVER!"
Two Questions tho...
1.Is their any sound tut's? <span style='color:grey'><span style='font-size:7pt;line-height:100%'>Could u make one if their wasnt...</span></span>
2. How did u get SF to host your work???
Once again great work, i love and use all your sounds...
please say it wont <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' /><!--endemo-->
It shouldn't affect your framerate too much. My .wavs tend to be a bit bigger but my mp3s are actually smaller. It really just depends on your machine. If it can barely run NS then you might have problems.
The readme has lots of mistakes, so I'll update that next release.
I agree about gamestartup.mp3. Thanks for the offer. I'll email when I get the chance. I'm away from home right now, so I'll post again later.

Orgasmic in it's intensity

Though after I begun to use these has ns twice suddenly freezed and crashed up my whole computer. I'm not sure if it's because of the soundpack, just thought I'd let you know just in case.
but the soundpack itself is really good... especially the bite sounds <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I too am getting comp crashes after installing this Marr. The server I was on was NSArmslabs, and someone mentioned Steam spitting out of alot of people after map ends, so I dunno if it was Steam, that particular server, or your sounds...
But besides that, it sounds really really good overall. I combed and picked out a majority of it, good stuff there.
I'll update my .zip after the weekend. In the meantime, everyone plz delete welderidle.wav in the \ns\sounds\weapons directory.
n1 soundpack <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

edit: amazing work marr, added so much to the atmosphere of NS. now the aliens scare me :< adds a bit of colour to the game i guess. this stuff makes me want to use the A|IENS pack so bad... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I've finally found the cause and <b>fixed</b> it. The default welderidle and welderhit sounds have 2 cue points, so I put in 2 for my own sounds as well. But for some reason, Half-Life only needs 1 cue point to make sounds loop. No idea why that caused a crash in my sound but not the defaults. Real funky stuff going on there.
I played around with the welder for a while yesterday in-game and could not get it to crash.
Also, the latest version has lots of noticeable improvements. I've updated the top post with the latest download link, so if you've got any version older than today (9/25), go grab it there, or if you're a lazy bastard, then <a href='http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/daoctotalsound/ALIENS_Sound.zip' target='_blank'>just click here.</a>
I went through and improved the fading-out for the aliens taunt sounds. They never bothered me in-game, but that might just be due to my sound card. If there's anything else that bugs you, let me know!
Recently I've been trying to get all the door and elevator sounds to loop properly and not cut out halfway during the ride up (or down). There's some trickiness with cue points in the Half-Life engine I'm trying to figure out. This'll require further study...
In other news, I'm now hosting Necrosis's premier pack of Aliens models. If you're an ALIENS fan, you need them! The link is <a href='http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/daoctotalsound/necrosisalienpack.rar?download' target='_blank'>HERE.</a>
*aproved by Metalcat* (he rox)
getting close to final release version.
