Update:

UI sounds volume changed around a bit.
Removed the error sound.
Redid shop music, lower volume, should sound like it is from an intercom.
Removed the UI purchase\sell sound so it is no longer earbleeding.

Added heavy metal music, if you use it, use it in around 30 - 50% in volume.
Music is made to sound like it is in the distance, like a heavy metal concert somewhere in newerth.
The lobby music is just people cheering for the match to start, it was recorded at a rock concert.Greetings fellow souless scum of Newerth, with hearts of metal enchanted with darker than dark - bile.
My companions of death, destruction and victims of third degree burns after Old Eric's tridant abuse! My fellow Hellbourne!

Well okay, what ever.

I wasn't going to release this mod, but I decided to after being encouraged by some fellow dwellers of all things metal.
This mod changes all the announcers and some of the UI sounds into guitar chords, riffs, various strange sounds to summon the dead, drums, few vocal bits and a tape player.

That is all I used to make the mod.

Because it is such a huge amount of files, I decided to split them into two; one is the announcer the other UI. I don't suggest changing the music into heavy metal in the game as that will just make it difficult to differentiate between the two, but it is up to you.

Here is the demo, this includs all the UI and Announcer sounds with the Banjo quit sound remade into a quick version of rock:

A comment would be appriciated :)

Next thing in line is the japanese anime & video games UI and announcer.


There might be other muslcal themed announcers coming, any suggestions are welcome to what sort. And only things that can be made by pure instrumentals. I don't do singing.

oh gawd this is awesome!
It should keep us warm till the epic Japanese sound mod is finished :D

..and a bit of feedback now that i heard them..some tracks in the announcer pack are a bit too long, for example the 9 killstreak one is 14sec, so it may overlap with the other ones, and the rest effects, just making noise.

Was this during gameplay that you checked it out? I tested these sounds during gameplay before I released them to make sure they be useable even in great lenght. number 9 is champion of newerth and I am rarely in a game where that happens, though it did once and there was no overlapping.

hmm no, I haven't tested them ingame..yet.
I'll report back when I get a 9 kill streak :P

Noone got to CHAMPION tho :<

It shouldnt overlapp, keep in mind that s2games own announcers overlapp sometimes and it is more annoying because it is a voice and you recognize voices easier overlapping than you do instruments. But if I get enough complaints (:P) I will change them

After playing a few games I realized that this mod is so awesome it makes the ingame music seem out of place, it's just way too calm :P
So, could you make some BGMs too in the same style? :D

soulslayer, I don't suggest metal music in the background with this, that would be overlapping like crazy but sure

Thanks, and I understand. Out of curiosity, what sort of music do you prefer? I might do other musical themed announcers.

Sure love this pack, but on the other hand it lacks heavy metal, it's mostly industrial metal.

+the entire pack download http://www.mediafire.com/?4u2ccsn5meerr8n

I really would request you to modify this mod a bit Sound, the music on the shop is non-stop and very loud. You can't even hear heroes voices. Remove it and I'll download it again ;)

SoundWizard
07-04-2011, 09:56 AM
alright, I redid the sounds for the shop. It should be lower and sound like it is coming from the shop's speakers.

I've come to notice that it is using a different sound for purchase now, I might have to change that if the complains are in numbers

Good lord. The sound on item buy is SO LOUD. And the fact that it's played for each item bought... my ears.

I bought an entire recipe at once and nearly blew my eardrums out.

Trilles
07-05-2011, 06:38 PM
do you buy that much items? o.o

n0n
07-06-2011, 05:46 AM
In-game items. Trying to buy items at the beginning of the game, etc.

Trilles
07-06-2011, 10:03 AM
I really don't think they are that loud o.o it's actually cool for me then I complete an item and I hear a loud cool sound =)

SoundWizard
07-06-2011, 12:05 PM
Yeah I have noticed that too. It is s2 who changed the sound they were using for purchase. I'll fix it when I got some time.

SoundWizard
07-06-2011, 12:16 PM
Okay I fixed it now, update your UI package to remove the earbleeding riff.
