Whenver you finish this...will it be just sound files? I hope it so that I don't have to waste a mod spot. Right now...I have the max # of mods already...But if I must, I will yank one off to give new space!

will everything in the prison (and other echo-y places) be echoed? for example, will fighting be echoed as well?

If you have a EAX capable Soundcard you can try Sides EAX Control (http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=32128) which recognizes the size of a room and then adds echo or diffusion to the
EAX sounds. I would not play without it now.

Sounds of Cyrodiil will be great. Absolutely excellent work, Cliffworms. Can't wait to try it ingame!

Not possible. Use http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=32128 for that kind of stuff.

EDIT: Whoops. Forgot to reload the page.

Thanks guys

Wow! Great job. Like you, i like to play with the music off. People are mentioning your dungeon mod. What mod is that? I would like to try it. Thanks.

I think you are talking about http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=29676

Probably listed on that site, but in case you haven't seen it yet I use http://www.freesound.org/index.php for all my custom sound effects. It has tens of thousands of free sound files, most of them have very high quality. Combined with a decent sound editing program you can get almost any sound effect you want there.

Also, in my Sheogorad mod I use a special sound emitter setup for Velothi dungeons. It's a scripted activator (only an editor marker so not visible in game) that moves randomly around the player from time to time and emits scary sound effects. That way you always hear different sounds from different directions. Works very well, maybe you could do something like that in regular dungeons as well. Instead of having static looping sound effects like in vanilla dungeons exclusively.

The mod has an esp files. Sounds are distributed around the world so it needs one.



Ah that's nice.
Though I must admit, unless it has been corrected, I didn't really like the echo you hear in the Market District when two people are speaking. It had the reverb of an empty room.




Oh cool thanks for that website Phitt! I'll spend a lot of time browsing on this one.
I use Sony Vegas for my sound editing needs.

Thank you for this idea about the dungeons. I was indeed thinking of scraping the looping sounds because they get very repetitive. I thought of an activator in each dungeon cell that plays the sounds every now and then. I didn't know it could be moved around the player though.
Do you use a certain function to recognize a dungeon cell or have you placed this activator in every dungeon cell?

Just wanted to say that you have a tuning fork in your inventory (Sides EAX Control) and with that you can easily change the behavior of a cell (Less reverb or what you want

In my mod I simply place one of the activators per dungeon. That would work in vanilla as well, but it wouldn't affect custom dungeons. You could use http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=18160 to move the needed activators with a quest script. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbX0O_zOGG8 is how it sounds in my mod (increased the sound 'spawn frequency' for the video, normally the sounds don't play that often of course). With moving the sound I meant that the activator is moved to a random location somewhere around the player so it doesn't come from the same direction/distance all the time.

Ah I see. Thanks!
That's a very cool mod.
They'll complement each other very well then, since "2D" dialogue is affected in Sounds of Cyrodiil.



Very cool concept.
I'll try to make it like yours, and if I'm succesful, it will prove very useful for both dungeons and other areas. Thanks!
And, really, your tomb is awesome. I must admit I lost track of your project for a while and your video has made me sneak into your WIP thread once again.

By the way, Sounds of Cyrodiil will also be a modder's resource. If you are ever interested in using the sound ambiances/atmospheres and the scripts that come with it, no problem.

Bump to keep it deservedly in the public eye.

Just a suggestion if this hasn't been already made: Can you combine this with your ambient dungeon SFX mod to have only one esp slot, and users can pck and choose which parts they want to have sound from (by an ini), so that it'll take only one esp slot?

Just suggesting as many users (like me) have very limited esp/esm slots remaining in their heavily modded setups, and as both these are sound related mods, they could be combined...

Thanks for all your great works! :foodndrink:

very easy with the 'ModelPathIncludes' and 'GetPCLastLoadDoor' OBSE functions. check for 'ayleid' in the door path and you are most likely in an ayleid ruin. also works with oblivion, caves, fort ruins.

Yes I've been thinking about it and I guess I'll do that.
Thanks!



Ahh great.
Though is it possible to use a function that checks what kind of creature inhabits the location? Like checking what leveled creature there is in the dungeon? Because I have location-specific sound effects, such as a zombie moaning in an undead-infested dungeon.

If both your EAX plugin and SoC work together, it'll be one hell of a sound overhaul.

i think it would be better to add actor specific sounds directly to the actor in the cs. but you can also check the model path of creatures like 'zombie', 'dog', 'minotaur'... in a getfirstref loop. the cell must be loaded.

do you plan to overhaul the spell sounds??

and will the 2D voice effect editing be seperate for being able to use your plugin with foreign versions of the game?

Ah I prefer with the modelpath fuction, it's easier and it'll work for custom skins of existing creatures.
Thanks for those tips!

No I don't plan on working on the spell sounds. I think they're fine as they are.

The 2D voices will be in a separate file to make the game much more compatible.

This is going to add tons to the game...We already have visual that is good, so auditory will be a great addition. All we need now is the smell!

Any idea on when this will be released?

"Don't Be Hasty"...actually, I hope soon!

Hehe. I'm just feeling like a little kid waiting for Christmas.

No idea. I never mod with a release date in mind.
The best thing to do is to keep watching the progress. :foodndrink:

A bit of news here. I was in the process of getting a new computer so I didn't reply for a while.
This said, here's a trailer I've put up showcasing the new sounds you can hear in the wilderness, to make it more lively.

Enjoy!
