Okay here it is, the new spell zip

I see that Disintegrate has no sound. Ray of Clumsiness is another darmagon original, I believe, with a ToEE sound added by Allyx. And I've found that Heal, a game original, has no sound. I'll do up sounds for Heal and Disintegrate, and I'll keep searching for other lost souls.

Furthermore I detected a typo in snd_spells that was preventing the 'spell over' sound from being played for Cat's Grace. Plus I redid the spell sound for Bear's Endurance, which for some reason didn't have any bear type sound in it, unlike the other 5 stat buffing spells.

Lastly, the mass buff spell sounds are basically done.

Edit: Found - Miracle, Finger of Death. No sounds.

 

Gaear - since Heal was only ever meant to work from scroll/potion, is there maybe a sound in there for the scroll?

 

Ted - I'll take a closer look tonight.

darmagon - Are these new spells you're making? If so, let me know when they're done. I need to see the spell animations in-game to make the sounds seem right. Otherwise duly noted, thanks.

Spike - thanks for the sounds. Some of them might be useful. :thumbsup:


Oh yeah, I'll have a changed snd_spells when all this is done that will have to be integrated in some way, just so you know. Is that something whereby I need to keep track of all the changes I've made so that someone can re-add them to a 'master' copy later, or will it magically coalesce with existing files somehow?


Edit: meant to add - I'm actually pretty long in source material here at the illustrious Gaear command center studios, midwest USA division ; I mainly need to know what needs fiddling.

 

To the best of my knowledge, no-one else is fiddling with snd_spells - Allyx is surely the only other suspect. So hack yourself silly, Gaear!

Errr, judging by photos, that'll b sillier...

 

No sounds at all for Heal. Thinking of it, when you heal Bing with a scroll or potion, you hear (you guessed it) eerie silence. No big deal, Heal will soon be audible. So will Mass Heal.

Okay cool. Also, noted about snd_spells. Thank you.

Update: Finger of Death and Miracle are now soundful spells. Plus, having changed the Bear's Endurance sound to something with a bear in it, I appropriated its old sound (sp_endurance) for Analyze Dweomer. Works fine, as it was sort of neutral sounding anyway. Waste not want not!

 

@ Gaear, I got my hands full with dlg's I need to write at the moment, so I'm not touching spells just yet, but if Darmagon and yourself want to rework the power word spells I wrote, to make them more rules compliant... you won't find me complaining

 

Thanks. That will be up to Darmagon though . . . I'm just the caddy.

 

Question: would it be wise to assign a fixed delay for Delayed Blast Fireball? I can't see our more challenged users being able to go through the neccesary maneuvers to get it to work.

Or has Brad figured out the radial menu yet?

Update: Spell sounds are basically done on my end.

 

I'm happy with the default being zero, the delay (while too clever for me to script) is perhaps self destructive to n00bs who don't realize that the spell HAS in fact worked, but beaten the enemies in the meantime and moved into the area to loot when the delay expires!

 

Guess I don't know the answer to that. Can we get some input here besides Allyx, Darmagon, and me?
