killsounds

[InspectorGadget]

so since its another 30 hour field ruining ren AGAIN i decided to use my time productively by creating this topic. 

 

something has to be done about the most obnoxious killsounds, it´s unbearable. of course all the culprits are useless snerips who seem to believe getting kills is adding the braincells they so desperately need but there is no hope for them sadly. either give players the option to mute sounds of certain players, killsounds alltogether or moderate the most annoying ones and force them to change. 

 

i mean sure people can mute all sounds but i don´t want that, i think within reason they add to the enjoyment of playing on rencorner. it´s not was fun when you don´t have the wasted soundbyte if rambo is around or you can i´m detective john kimble when detective john kimble joins. 

 

sincerly,

Hello InspectorGadget,

You can indeed do this. I believe the command is !disablesounds killsounds. I know this because I do not hear killsounds but I hear the other, normal sounds. If I had to hear killsounds all day I would have uninstalled this game a long time ago and raged so hard on these forums. There is nothing more annoying than killsounds. It is retarded.

 

Sincerely,

The Doggo

Or edit files how UnitXc do that since he dont want mute all sounds just specific annoying like CAP have actually. Sad is there are specific donators which donated only once just for accessing kill sounds feature and they dont donate anymore and every day have different kill sound or they using other players kill sounds.

That Field match that 'ruined' Renegade actually got a full server and about 20 people left as soon as it ended because of co*plex.

I didn't know donaters got killsounds but maybe put restrictions on use (changing ect) and  time limit of having them after a donation?

I asked to remove donors which didnt donated anymore in last year for example but without success.

[OctoberWar]

Please create donators rules 

It includes following: (Do not changing kill sound until after a period of time/Do not choose disturbing or loud sounds/Also mention any mistakes I made unknowingly in the past...Do not use sounds when planting nuclear, etc.)

i mean i think the bottom line here should be to give people what they want but if it ends up just being straight up annoying to the rest of the playerbase than i think the price is too high. your solution doesn´t fix the core issue either though cause someone who wants to be annoying can still just donate 5$ every year and terrorize everyone with the most obnoxious killsound for an entire year. 

 

if mdoggs solution works then it´s fine, didn´t check that out yet. if it doesn´t i still suggest that you do something about them, maybe get rid of them completely.

Its there for ages since Blacky made that:

What doesnt works from that is first and last command which is basicly just join/leave sounds and jukebox. Jukebox was replaced by essentials and I modded it per players instanace (so you can control it just for yourself and is not played to everyone). Since we havent source codes from Blacky and W3Dhub + others enforced us to update to latest TT build. So u have completelly under control killsounds and chatsounds. Madsounds arent handled by bot and are enforced to everyone as unique feauture for donators.

Essentially some people complain about every single aspect of this game.

I have killsounds disabled also cause its actually annoying hearing them get spammed by people who snipe.

[Xylaquin]

My hot take is that all the custom sounds should be disabled by default and players who want them can turn them on.
It would be interesting to see how many people actually would turn them on.

But. man, there are snipers. But they use quiet kill sound.
like When i had, sound was this sound "getoverhere" im sniping more everyday. The voice was very quiet.
also NLsRene + there man using sound "fatality" this sound very quiet
@Xylaquin If you are bothered by the sounds, you can use !disablesounds or !togglesounds.

I wouldn't say "getoverhere" is quiet

This ^ 

 

want people to stay and play do that. Yes you can turn them off by doing:

!togglesounds killsounds

 

some don’t know how to chat/use commands or are new to the game. This will prevent them from leaving when they join for the first time 👍🏼

 

Also let us individualy !mute “sound” in game or something like that. So we can hear the sounds we want, but mute those that are annoying.

 

Edit: delete madsounds :)

Its how original author designed it. Server offers all avaiable feautures and I dont see reason to limit them. People are just lazy to read or ask how to disable them. Changing and storing default values in database will not solve anything since your recorded data is actually saved and globally edit over 22k records for everyone is also bs.

People dont know set their killsounds or read server rules so this wouldnt works. And other side effect then in yours streams "omfg hax0r he hear that sound and Im not." How u will manage it in chat with 1883 custom sound files + over 3000 sound  files in renegade?

Madsounds was handled outside from bot and server with external app. For faster renspose times and more precise timers was ported "how they was created" into server scripts.

Well tell everyone how to delete custom sounds in that case? 
 

I figured that out thanks to you and others who helped me, telling me where to find the sounds so i can remove them myself (until new sounds are added and i will have to do it all over again). 

 

But this isn’t about me, but about those that don’t know these stuffs. To lazy to ask? Maybe they don’t know how, maybe they think it belongs to the game. I don’t know man. 
 

i agree with the other guy, put them off for new players and let them decide to put them on. 
 

We have had this discussion so often and i already know the answear: No.. obviously. 
 

don’t tell me that, just think with each other what could work to make it pleasant for everyone (including new players). I delete them from the file, because people couldn’t watch the streams due these annoying shit sounds and while i am still wondering why not more people stream, some buy and play by watching the streams. 
 

anyways it is not my intention to stay long in game, simply giving my opinion about the sounds. Good day and hopefully you will come with some good results that works for everyone. 💪🏼

Its not about you or me. Its general issue which was there for years. There are plenty of options how diisable that sounds and I mentioned it above also. Look how people complaint on servers without sounds. Plus its only way to give some perks to donators. You really dont want perks like custom characters with custom weapons or healths.

How can they read them when the textfeed is spammed with so. much. crap.

What other servers? Rencorner is pretty much the only server left due to the small playerbase Renegade has after 25 years.

 

Sounds should be off by default, but let people that want them toggle them back on.

Benefits:
- New players aren't put-off Renegade by the unexplained brainrot of random no-context sounds.
- When you're looking for a beacon, it's actually helpful to be able to hear the beeps to find it, without having to worry about madpirate covering the beeps up
- Since most players don't want sounds, why should it be on them to turn sounds off? It seems silly to make 95% of people do the !disablesounds command. Flip it the other way around, so that the 5% of people that do want the sounds just need to do the !enablesounds command.

Disadvantages:
- If this is implemented and sounds are off by default, you'd still have a few people enable them, and those players would type the words in the textfeed to create the sound. To everyone else, these random bits of the text would seem odd. Why is this player randomly typing "pirate" in the chat, for example? The trigger words would also take up space in the textfeed amongst everything else. So to fix these two problems, ideally you'd have to make it so that the trigger words don't appear in the textfeed.

- I was under the impression that they had access to certain !commands that regular players don't
- you could make it so that only donators can use !tag to make a subtitle under their playername
- don't donator's get an intro message when they join the server?

Thats reasons why predefinied chat sounds are in standalone dialog boxes.

Other renegade servers exist and are played also since people are bored from RC they are trying different ones.
