Music and Unit sound' related issues and testing

[Roman_Man#3]

What needs testing is making sure music works, that all units have voices, and that sound effects for the environment and strat map check out. Also post here if a song feels out of place.

Music Testing is the same sort of thing as the rest of the testing, but any problems should be posted in this thread so it's easier for apple and Arn to keep track of them.

These are all the sound text files in the data folder.

the music is loads better but we still have long periods of silence during the battles. Any idea how to fix that? Also the general music volume needs to go up.

[apple]

Sorry for not answering this earlier.
Do you have music set at 100% in the sounds settings?
I'm working on the battles. Allot of testings required.

Do you have music set at 100% in the sounds settings?

Good question - I've got it at default I should think, whatever that is.

[apple]

That's 70%

[Ibram]

The only criticism I can levy against the music now is that the pieces are too short I like a full 3:00 track of music, and its a shame because you have some really good pieces here, and yet they seem so short.

the sound Slingers make when they are powering up their shot is a little too loud and powerful. im loving the music, especially the gentle campaign ones. there is one track, however, that carries a bit too much pace ( Im playing as Carthage if that matters. ). it seems like it belongs in a battle.

edit: its when you zoom into the slingers.

[apple]

Thanks mate, I'm sorry that I reply so late. Could you specify the name of that song. You find the name in descr_sounds_music.txt under Punic cultures and the songs in data/sounds/music.

The slinger sound is the old vanilla, I see what I can do about it.

[snuggans]

i think it could be 'Storm' but i may be mistaken, i will let you know with certainty later on.

[apple]

Ok.

[Herr Lindstrom]

Is there any way for me to get the horns to work? for some reason They still sound like Vanilla charge/ralley horns

[Alavaria]

I just wanted to add that the Carthage music sounds perfect to me.

One thing though, is the Vanilla warcry sound supposed to play with the new one? I like the new one with the horns and stuff, but the vanilla sounds are so lacklustre when played at the same time.

[apple]

Haven't toughed the warcry as of yet. It's on my list however.

[snuggans]

i LOVE season_undefined.

the guitar strings with the ocean waves work so well, it's my favorite track of all.

[apple]

That's one of Garvs song. (most of the punic ones are)

[apple]

Is the music working as it should now, aka continuously playing.

[Ballacraine]

It may be just my system, but I don't think so...

The start of the music on the launcher is clipped I'm guessing by about 0.5 - 1 second ?

It sounds like it is starting part way through the first chord?

Balla.

[apple]

No it's supposed to sounds like that.

[Ballacraine]

OK then!
