Make screams sound like actual screams

Post by CeSiumShark » 09 Nov 2016, 17:57

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Right now, when you either type "say "*scream"" or get attacked by a xeno, your character "screams". By that, I mean the marine sounds like he just plopped down on his sofa to watch Monday night football. I honestly think the screams should change into an actual scream of pain.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): m-muh immersions

(also may help medics/xenos find their buddy/victim)

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): pretty simple tbh, just replace the .wav/.ogg file of the current screams and replace them with actual painful screams. And it can't really get spammed, because as far as I know, the server already has a cool down on manual sound emotes (typing "say *scream" 5 times would make it tell you to wait instead of screaming 5 times)

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

replace crit screams (if possible) with these

these may a bit long and immersion breaking if a baldie is screaming these out while he's in briefing, but if these can't work then these can

(Volume warning by the way)

It would probably work best if the first video's sounds are used when a marine who's under 30 or so health screams, he screams like so, but otherwise screams like the second video's sounds.

+1 The current screams are just for memes.

If we can have a battle cry that sounds like this: https://youtu.be/1kXU14hkuSI. I can die happy
The MAN, The MYTH, The LEGEND, https://youtu.be/1kXU14hkuSI.

That one old man that USED to run around as Engineer building retarded table forts and developing relationships on a questionable level with sentry turrets. Now I run around as someone equally stupid, doing equally stupid shit as a Medic. Oh and Pookie, that's also me.

http://prntscr.com/grdigl I totally succeeded in that btw, it was a badass kick-flip.

Sure would be a lot more traumatic with these in place.

I can imagine some of them in the first video would make interesting MEDIC cries as well.
Sometimes, bravery comes from the most unlikely sources.

+1, this is a good suggestion.
Actually, they did have that cooldown system you mentioned for a short time, but it was replaced by a cooldown on the sound only. You can still do a scream emote, but the sound won't play if the cooldown is not done.

Rip.

Perhaps STALKER lines could be used for IB medic calls? Pomogite, pomoshchi, dayci aptechku?

keep the current screams in if you type *scream in chat manually, but add this ones to the automatic screams that occur when you get rekt

There's an actual bandit quote that I can't get a video of, but they say "Papali, papli, cyka!" which, roughly translates to, "He hit me! He hit me! The bitch!" or something along those lines. Fits in a lot for a medic call.

Edit: Found the vid.

Well as far as I know I don't think we are changing the screams right now.

Not trying to be rude, but for some reason, female screams oddly sound..."Sexual"
