Alright, so I've been testing the Core Patch for about a week or two and I've got to say, there are some neat additions, but in regards, I'd like to see a log of all the added features from update to update. If something like this has already been created, please pinpoint where I can locate.
Here's my short list of things I don't like:
-Counter-Strike beeping sounds on the timer. Come on this is Renegade, I don't want to start getting sounds from other games.
-C4 is set, Fire in the Hole! Another stupid addition. Every character has the exact same voice with this sound, why does this need to be on?
A lot of the other sounds that were implemented, I already downloaded manually before patching, but I feel that some Renegade players don't like these added noises. Don't follow me wrong though, I like this patch and I've noticed some various fixes here and there (Obelisk sound and Miles Sound Device I can think of right off the bat), I'm just trying to put some direct feedback that isn't bug related. Thanks.

If you don't like hearing a particular sound you have to find what it's called and extract from always.dat and put it in the data folder and then edit the sound and replace it with silence.
If you want to go back to the original c4 sounds just extract the
c4_remote_secondary_08a.wav (timed c4 + beeping)
c4_timed_ambient_11.wav (remote c4)
from always.dat and put in your data folder
I use my version of beeping C4, 1 short beep 10 seconds after you set it, 2 short beeps on 20 sec, 3 short beeps 25 sec, 1 long on 28.

The C4 countdown timer is the same one I released literally years ago. The "fire in the hole" sample is one I took from always.dat that seemed appropriate to use. As pointed out, you can easily change these sounds to whatever you want.
Not everyone will like every change..."you cannot please all of the people, all of the time"

Yes, that's true, but adding counter-strike sounds? As well as that, the loading screen text has been replaced. My entire clan and some people in our server have commented on this. Like I said before, I'm not saying that this is a bad patch, I like it, but it seems like a lot of content was added just to make it bulky. I support Renguard and BHS patches, but I don't like when questionable content is added.
For everything fixed and all of the regular sounds that show up for everyone (when it used to only show for the host or skirmish player), I am very thrilled. It's very awesome to finally get some of these sounds. I really like Black Hand Studios contributions to this game and I hope they keep it up, but it's always good to give feedback!

When I created the countdown timer I wanted something audible, yet subtle so as not to override other sounds. I used a *sample* of one of the C4 beeps in CS and painstakingly arrange a series of them (its harder than you would think) to not only exactly fill the space of time between planting and detonation, but to go faster and more urgent as time passed.
I never considered that someone would be "offended" by the sound, and until now, nobody has complained. In fact, Clan WL (World Leaders) made the same C4 countdown mandatory for their members because they found it useful.
That being said, if you don't like it, you can easily override it or silence it by placing your own wav file in the renegade data directory. As for the load screen, I havn't seen it since I still have my simpsons theme load screens

I guess it's a personal thing, hating Counter-Strike that is.
Anyway, thanks for replying.

I guess it's a personal thing, complaining about things that are smart and cool. We don't hate CS, we just think that it is smart. If someone used that sample of a beeping sound in a alarm clock, would you say: "They must really hate CS". :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
No. Seriously. No.

I just think taking sounds from other games and putting them in formal patches is a bit strange. And I've never heard a game labled "smart". I guess people say things that are irrelevant when they have nothing else to say.
