[WANTED] Ambient sounds

[Mattn]

Hi,

again we are searching for sound files -especially fire sounds like this one http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=44322

we need them for the maps where fire particles are burning without a single noise. and we have differnt kind of fires. big ones (like e.g. the crashed ufos) and small ones like camping fires.

[Hertzila]

Do you still need fire sounds? And what other "ambient" sounds are you talking about?

[Mattn]

yes, we are still searching for fire sounds, engine sounds, water sounds and whatever can add more atmosphere to our maps

Heres an ambient sound or two I just made for you guys:

http://omploader.org/vMnl4Zg/hum2.ogg

Do what ya like with 'em. I'm going to see if I can make some more. I'd say they sound quite alien spaceshippy. Ideally I want to create something properly mechanical sounding at some point.

Oh for anyone who wants to know I made it using the Triple Oscillator in Linux Multimedia Studio

EDIT: Just edited hum2 a little. Realised it had about a second of silence at the end meaning it didnt loop quite right.

[Mattn]

nice - they would fit well into the alienbases imo..

what is the license you release your work under? gpl 2 or later ok? or Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3 ?

[Sepelio]

GPL2 is fine. Its the only thing thats truly compatible with an open source project like this.

[Mattn]

thank you very much - commited to trunk

Hey developers !

Do you still need additional ambient sounds ?

I'm thinking of things like a howling dog in the background or the clittering of crickets !

If the answer is yes, I could contribute...

[Mattn]

the answer is definitely yes - the more the better - they can add a lot of atmosphere to a map

I like these two a lot! If you can, you should upload the lmms files - we'd have the source available that way ^^

There are a few Ambient sounds on OpenGameArt.

Here's a Mining Pump I made - it's a bit short (8 bars or so) but I could make it longer if needs be..

Sounds great, I vote 4 using this sound in-game !!!
But why is the sound 4 minutes long, when most of it is silence ? Did you do this on purpose ?

No - I think it's probably a minimum length required by the ogg converter that I use - maybe I will expand it slightly and re-upload it.

Edit:

A longer sample - (32 bars): http://wiki.creativecommons.org/File:MinePump02.ogg

Oh - and I discovered that I had the End pointer set incorrectly - so thats the reason for the silence in the first one (doh!)

[MCR]

Nice !
How did you make it ?
Maybe you could edit it just a little bit, so it will loop better, now you kind of hear when the loop begins if ya know what I mean ?!
& make it even longer to avoid being to repetitive in-game...

Then I think this would be perfect for the machines in the U.F.O.s.

I will write a patch tracker item on sourceforge regarding this.

Thanks MCR - 

Made by mixing 2 tweaked voices on the Malstrom Synth - basic heli-motor and an ambient voice setting - exported to .wav and converted to .ogg.

This one is 64 bars in length (around 2.5mins or so..)

I had in looping in Reason quite seamlessly - so I think it should be OK..
