Completed [FF2] Tuning Suggestion (1 Viewer)

[Mr_Sve]

Feels like alot of people recently are with me on this one but no one posted about it so ill do it myself

High audio sfx or otherwise know as ear rape are an issue that bother me and many players in the server, sure back then mlg meme was popular but with so many popular bosses that uses it, it just gets really annoying..

below the list of bosses that i suggest we lower the audio of the sfx on the following bosses:

MLG Spy Loud is no longer comedy or enjoyable, boss is fine

MLG Sniper same with MLG Spy

Duo Taming Heavy his backstab noise is load and 3 sec long and that is just backstabbing!

Ronald mcd Boss ear rape kill noise and backstab

and there is maybe 1 or 2 bosses i forgot to mention so feel free to mention them in the below

Maybe it's just me but MLG bosses aren't that loud, you'd have to play at 100% volume for them to be loud.

For Rabid Heavy I can reduce the volume I guess since it can be loud when there are 5 spies backstabbing him.

Ronald is already getting his sounds tweaked to be not as loud.

And the third option in the poll isn't really possible.

I disagree they are loud especially the boss gets stabbed multiple time in few sec
here is my tf2 audio setting with 20% on headset audio these bosses still manage to blow my ears out.

This is the only acceptable volume
Anything above that is a death sentence

Ronald's definitely much louder and should be toned down substantially, however I can't say the same about The MLG bosses. And I guess there could be some reduction to Taming heavy, though this wouldn't be as big of a problem if All the rabid heavies didn't get backstabbed so much

Perhaps, in addition to this, we could also add these sounds to the !ff2music and monologues so they are muted entirely, without the need to lower the volume to 0.1. However, I'm unsure whether this is possible or not.

From my personal experience, the hale that makes my eardrums bleed the most is Ronald. Not a single quiet moment with that goofy hale.

 

[Kruphixx]

Best I can do is create a download with quieter boss sounds that would just override the default sounds. Similiar to what Uber did here with MLG Sniper.

 

[Kruphixx]

I've been told that this is not that big of an issue anymore, considering a lot of sounds are now proximity-based instead of global in the new plugin.

I can still make a VPK though if anyone wishes.

 

[Kruphixx]

Done, hope the sounds aren't too quiet now as I've reduced volume of most of the sounds by 5-15 DB.

To apply, just drop the VPK into your custom folder.

Affects these bosses:

- MLG Sniper (most sounds)
- MLG Spy (most sounds)
- Rabid Heavy (backstab sounds)
