Aralez Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Please could you update the "old" Xcom music mod. I have some users writing me which don't understand the old way of installing it uses. Maybe you could then change the main menu music a bit, which kind of "pops up" loudely when you try to save a game. Will you do us that favour? Oh and maybe you could include the xcom SOUND mod as well ! What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strahd Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Well I'll see what I can do that is I'll see if I can find some free time to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strahd Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 I'll probably put everything up as a one big giant X-Com music/sound mod download.This will include the music mod, the interface sound mod and the latest weapon/alien sound mod. All sound ofcourse taken form the first three X-Coms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strahd Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Ok I'm half way through. The only thing left is the aliens. I think I'm going to be able to give each alien its own sound. I hope you'll be able to host this Slaughter somwhere for a while untill I switch my job. Once there I'll be able to host them on my own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Yeah, I believe I will. How big will it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strahd Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Well it is ~43 megs and you can grab it here. The file is in it's usual mod*.vfs format so just shovel it in to your Ufo: Aftermath directory and enjoy. Please report bugs (if any) to me or on the Stargates forum under the X-com sound mod. You can get to the forum through my site here. Changes:As requested the updated music mod with changed menu music (now featuring fade-in effect ). The previous interface sound mod is included with one of the inventory sounds removed. All of the weapon sound were changed most of them using sound from the first three X-Coms. And last but not least all of the alien hit/dead sounds were also changed. All of the aliens have there own unique sound and all of them have it. 14 of these aliens have hade their sounds replaced using those of the first three X-coms the rest use the original sounds. Bugs/Problems:In the brief test I've put this through I've found that if you should hit an alien not always will there be the hit sound played. I would say that this is the bug in the game it self since I wasn't able to fix the problem with anything I tryed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kret Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 In the brief test I've put this through I've found that if you should hit an alien not always will there be the hit sound played. I would say that this is the bug in the game it self since I wasn't able to fix the problem with anything I tryed. Don't think it's a bug, but rather a prevention system that limits the number of "cries" an alien does in a short period of time. The most probable method used is a random trigger that will play the sound x out of y times (y being greater than or equal to x ). This happens in the non-moded v1.3 of the game.

Slaughter Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Nice Strahd! I will tell you as soon as I've had time to add it to my own server and so on. If I can find the space that is....43 megs....sigh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HARD_Sarge Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 It looks err sounds good to me, kind of odd at times, some sounds come out of the blue when you not expecting them thanks HARD_Sarge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Okay, i have added it to my server Strahd, as well as the mods section. But tell me, does the mod slow down Aftermath? As for the alien cries not sounding every time, I agree with Kret. I think it's a "feature", not a bug. They probably thought it a good idea after all the complaints regarding the soldier voices. Not that I think this was a better solution, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strahd Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 But tell me, does the mod slow down Aftermath? I wouldn't know since I'm running the thing on the Athlon XP 2600+ OCed to 3000+ with 1GB of ram and the GeForce 4 Ti4200 with 128mb of ram. I didn't notice any speed changes with that configuration. Have you had any problems with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Well, I use a AMD Athlon 1400 with 1 gig RAM and a GeForce 3 Platinium (or whatever the topmodel is named). I noticed "lagging" in the game when I played tactical missions. This may be because I had other stuff running in the background though, so I'll check it closer and report back.

Slaughter Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Okay, I tested, and it was obviously something running in the background. No slowdown now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aralez Posted March 30, 2004 Author Share Posted March 30, 2004 Excellent ! Thx, Strahd ! I will download and test right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aralez Posted April 3, 2004 Author Share Posted April 3, 2004 Gee! This brings back old memories, almost made me install Xcom an Tftd again Regarding the Xcom replacement sounds: It was quite a surprise to hear the new explosions and weapon sounds, i will have to re-adjust my hearing to that sounds. I mean you fire a "wellknown" weapon with a also "wellknown" bang sound and suddenly hear a "zzzzzt", I was so baffled i stopped the game right away to look if there was a new enemy or weapon i didn't realize yet. Only to see it was the new sound. Seems i have to start a new game to adapt myself to the Xcom sounds ! The most "irritating" thing was the weapon of the Manowar who sounds like a laser shot now, before i realized what was happening two of my mutons were downed as i thought the sound was from one of my weapons (Again, i will only have to adapt to that ) So: Good work! Hm, maybe i will restart UFOAM with an edited savegame to "learn" the new sounds.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 I just recently downloaded the new sounds. I take it from the input that the new Strahd mod is compatible with the Rebalance 6.61? I'm not into computer crashes. I also took it that the First Person Camera mod was working right with the Rebalance 6.61 without crashes? Now that the Rebalance is over and no more testing is needed there, it is probably time for me to branch out into the other mods. Are there any combinations that I should avoid if I don't want computer crashes? Aralez could really help me there in order to get the right combinations as I branch out.

Aralez Posted April 4, 2004 Author Share Posted April 4, 2004 Both mods you've mentioned work with the RBMOD, no problems on my PC. Mods that most probably will crash UFOAM when used with the RBMOD are: GurkozMod, the "old" IronMAN Mod, the PowerArmour mod etc. Basically all mods which are older than 1.1.2004.
