Spotlight: SOUND OVERHAUL (Dino Sounds) - Upcoming: Dire Wolf - Latest: Ambience + Campfire

[thelonelyspud.]

Welcome Survivors! This is a thread to showcase some of the new and upcoming sounds that i have created SPECIFICALLY for ARK. This thread will be updated constantly as i finish new sounds and the end goal is to have it as a downloadable mod once a few are finished, or even implemented into the full standalone game!

I am planning to update and create new sounds for almost every sound that is currently available in the game! This includes Dino's, Players, Ambience, Impact, Running, pretty much everything! I am aiming to get this as immersive as possible! [Expect BIG, POWERFUL, Rex Roars!]

Depending on how much support this gets, i may release it as a mod prior to completion, and have regular updates to the mod so people can enjoy it earlier! (Once i figure out how to package just sound as a mod).

So, let's begin!

Note:

- I am currently rounding up people who would be interested to participate in an 'Alpha' stage of this. You will be added to a private list of people who can subscribe to the Total Conversion. It should be completely functional with your current save games in your Singleplayer Worlds! Leave a message or request to add me if you are interested!

- I have received a lot of questions regarding this mod as well as interest to participate in the test! Please keep in mind that i live in Australia, so our timezones are different. :) If i dont get back to you right away, im not ignoring you.

- These are all custom sounds created by myself. These are not sounds that have been ripped from a movie or game.

- Each Dino will have a unique set of sounds (footsteps included), and different sound variants, so it can increase the immersion of your survival adventure.

- I will also be updating and creating new sounds for Dino eating corpses (tearing flesh) and human interaction!

- I am also taking suggestions on what Dino's i should adjust next! Feel free to make a suggestion, but i will be getting to all of the Dino's eventually!

- If you are unable to watch the video spotlights due to a 'GEMA' issue, try loading the video with a proxy!

- Thanks to 'Jesus' for helping me with getting this into a Total Conversion Mod! It will be made public soon!

Wow! These sounds are 10x better than default at least! Cannot wait for it to be released!

I'll get to working on the Pachy next then!

Originally posted by pjcareyiii:

you know i never had a problem with the default raptor sounds its the fact that the pain scream is shared that irks me.

I didn't mind it either. I just felt that it was too 'horse-like' and i just wanted to create an immersive environment with all the dino's.

[Tyrannogon]

The sounds are great so far. :)
I look forward to the Rex roar.

Can we get this thread stickied?

Also, great job on the raptors. I'm looking forward to quieter idle noises from them.

I hope this thread will get stickied! Putting in a lot of time to create an immersive environment! Getting to work on the Pachy's soon!

Nice work! I was just looking into changing the sound level of the PW_raptor_chortle_Cue and the attenuation plus sound overlap cue because it is so damn loud and annoying by default. One problem is the sound edits do not have mod stacking blueprints and need to be an overhual mod. To be able to merge your mod with other overhaul mods would be great. Is there a way to merge overhaul mods?

[VORG]

Good to see someone having a crack at making better sounds. Just that extra touch of immersiveness

Yeah, a lot of it was so loud and stuff, i agree! Ahh okay, im glad you told me that information! I currently do not know how to even create an overhaul mod, so if you know how, feel free to add me and maybe we could discuss how to get it done?

Yeah, that's the goal! As immersive as this game already is, sound also plays a major part in immersion!

[Rob James]

There is a sound that the ichthyosaur makes when Idle that really needs some TLC as well...
Hearing your raptor sounds while walking through the jungle at night would make me pee pee in my pants. That is exactly what I wish for. I want the hair to stand up on the back of my neck. :D
