Warcry Mod

[NorthHammer]

I made a beta version for a warcry mod in SPQR. I plan to finish the mod with adjustments to distance, volumes, and a few more taunts. I'd like to make this mod available for EB users too if you guys are interested? (If so, it will be done in 3-4 weeks)

Here's more info on it:

I think you definitly should. It would be awesome, and would make this great mod even better!

[Ahiga]

Yes! Please do it for EB. The sounds of it really added to the atmosphere.


I do hope you give the east a different drum though!

[Curtis13]

Could you post some samples of what you include? I'm really interested in what you've included.

[NorthHammer]

you can download the link and just listen to the WAV files in the "custom" folder

Other than just ripping sound bites from films, doesn't the different background music of the files, and the blatent orc and beast noises, sound a little wierd ingame?

[Curtis13]

Actually... listening to them all, most of them are pretty awesome... put them in the mod now!

[NorthHammer]

It actaully sounds really cool. When you have a full legion of barbs coming at you, and they all do a warcry with 15 different screams, there is such a variety on what they are yelling.

Before I make this mod final for SPQR, and universal for RTR and EB, I need to tweek the volume and distances. Plus I'm trying to stick in a few more taunts and am playing around with distances and volumes for that too.

Hahahah this is so great. My favorite taunt is when Arnold says

"I hope you leave enough room for my fist because i'm going to ram it into your stomach and break your goddamn spine! Gnahh!"

That just make me crack up the first time I heard it. It was great.

This is so much better than "Stinking Rats" all the time.

[NorthHammer]

Yeah, its funny but also cool glad you like it.

[Curtis13]

So how long before this is ready and released then? I hope it's soon! *shakes fist*

[NorthHammer]

I dunno. I've been a meathead lately and spending too muc time in the gym, lol.

yes the east need a different drum and a different horn

I had a quick listen, and it's not bad. I wouldn't install it as it is though. For a start, the obvious music in the background of a lot of them makes it less realistic, and some of the horns and the warcries are distinctly a-historical/inappropriate. However there are many sounds from that that would be good, such as the warcry from Gladiator. If there were to be a more refined version of this mod which didn't include background movie music or inappropriate warcries and horns, it would vastly improve the game. But I don't think that this version is it.

[swabian]

there is this hollwood ham 'king arthur' i think the saxons make considerable noise, maybe you check it out. and jeanne d'arc? and there is this very good movie about the bartholomaeus night 'la reine margot'... the scene where they kill the huguenots in paris contains nice noises too (i think without background music). annndumhhh... kingdom of heavan? have you tried alexander? however, there are much better sources for battle noises than LOTR and braveheart.

a game will never be realistic i think. as long as u dont sweat, lose blood, get mutilated or die it just wont be realistic.

so many ppl put so much effort in making all the mods historically accurate and realistic which is nice to a certain degree..to much realism and accuracy defeats the purpose though i think.
and about all this accuracy and realism ...we know so little about most of the barbarian factions and most of it we pull out of sources like tacitus writings about the german tribes and he didnt even have a clue about whats going on there. i mean 75% of the info we use for "historical accuracy and realism" knowledge is not more then guesses and unreliable sources/info because history is written by the victoriuos and the history of the victorious is just one reality. so in a game like this must be room for fantasy too, and i dont mean the light sabre fantasy

i know that doesnt fit in here 100% but its in my head 4 quite a while and i jsut read "realistiv" once more..

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Help us describe those germanic buildings then Ahlerich. It'll help us fill out that faction. still waiting on those building updates.

[Zenith Darksea]

Well, whatever your attitude to realism, the presence of movie music really doesn't make the warcry sound that good. I mean, do you want to listen to inappropriate music when warcries are going up?

[k_raso]

I`m eagerly waiting for the release of this mini mod for RTR and EB.

Great work!

Despite some bugs (background music and such), it`s much better than vainillia`s "yellow dog", "stinking rats", "hail rome", "worthless scum", all of those cries with a flat and monotone voice.

Christ!, I hate those vainillia sounds... It`s a God damn battle for pity`s sake!!!!! Not a cricket game...

Thank you, North Hammer.
