death sound q.

be_ · 03-28-2010, 02:29 PM

Anyone know if it's possible to cycle through different death sounds at random in-game? I kinda don't think so since you can only choose one in the fortress options, but was wondering if it was possible. This way, there could be a few different sounds put in there for fun.

You could write a script to simulate this.

Something like:

Code:

alias attackbeep1 "+attack; wait; cl_killbeepsound deathbeep1; bind MOUSE1 attackbeep2"
alias attackbeep2 "+attack; wait; cl_killbeepsound deathbeep2; bind MOUSE1 attackbeep3"
...
alias attackbeep8 "+attack; wait; cl_killbeepsound deathbeep8; bind MOUSE1 attackbeep1"
bind MOUSE1 attackbeep1

I have not tested that, and am very inexperienced at writing scripts, but that'd be the general idea.

I tried this but no such luck. Thank you though; that does make it seem possible.

I've tested that script in-game, and, you are correct, it does not work. I've tried a few other things as well.
It doesn't seem that the command itself is what's breaking the script. I entered the command on its own and it registered fine. I then tried a continuous loop of aliases running to switch out the killbeep every 40 seconds or so, but that resulted in a crash. What I'd suggest would be binding 'cl_killbeepsound x' to your movement keys in addition to the appropriate movement direction. This is what I've got running, using 4 custom killbeeps bound to spacebar, a, s, and d, since w would reset it all too often.

You can't make infinite loops, they'll always crash.

Changing the fire key doesn't work for you guys? It seems like what Squeek posted should work fine.

Ragdoll · 03-30-2010, 11:25 PM

The problem is that the syntax for the cl_killbeepsound command bugs out if there's a semicolon at the end of 'deathsound x', which is required for that script.

**squeek.** · 03-30-2010, 11:55 PM

Maybe alias the deathbeep changes too?

Code:

alias deathbeep1 "cl_killbeepsound deathbeep1"
alias deathbeep2 "cl_killbeepsound deathbeep2"
...
alias deathbeep8 "cl_killbeepsound deathbeep8"

And then use:

Code:

alias attackbeep1 "+attack; wait; deathbeep1; bind MOUSE1 attackbeep2"
alias attackbeep2 "+attack; wait; deathbeep2; bind MOUSE1 attackbeep3"
...
alias attackbeep8 "+attack; wait; deathbeep8; bind MOUSE1 attackbeep1"
bind MOUSE1 attackbeep1

Nope. Doesn't like apostrophes either. And also, it needs to be +attackbeep1, etc., otherwise, it's stuck in an attack.

This seemed to work to me. I'd have to check it again on a quiet server with no background noise, but I didn't hear my usual doot.

I missed my doot.

Code:

// Killbeep randomizer
// This script changes the killbeep noise every time you fire
// Giving a nice psuedo-random effect to the deathbeep noise

// To use:  Place file in cfg folder, add exec random_db to your autoexec
// or just manually call it each time you play!

// Note:  If Copy + Pasting, you should name it random_db.cfg :P

// Aliases to change death beep
alias db1 "cl_killbeepsound deathbeep1"
alias db2 "cl_killbeepsound deathbeep2"
alias db3 "cl_killbeepsound deathbeep3"
alias db4 "cl_killbeepsound deathbeep4"
alias db5 "cl_killbeepsound deathbeep5"
alias db6 "cl_killbeepsound deathbeep6"
alias db7 "cl_killbeepsound deathbeep7"
alias db8 "cl_killbeepsound deathbeep8"


// Aliases for Attack
alias +ab1 "+attack; wait; db1"
alias -ab1 "-attack; wait; bind mouse1 +ab2"

alias +ab2 "+attack; wait; db2"
alias -ab2 "-attack; wait; bind mouse1 +ab3"

alias +ab3 "+attack; wait; db3"
alias -ab3 "-attack; wait; bind mouse1 +ab4"

alias +ab4 "+attack; wait; db4"
alias -ab4 "-attack; wait; bind mouse1 +ab5"

alias +ab5 "+attack; wait; db5"
alias -ab5 "-attack; wait; bind mouse1 +ab6"

alias +ab6 "+attack; wait; db6"
alias -ab6 "-attack; wait; bind mouse1 +ab7"

alias +ab7 "+attack; wait; db7"
alias -ab7 "-attack; wait; bind mouse1 +ab8"

alias +ab8 "+attack; wait; db8"
alias -ab8 "-attack; wait; bind mouse1 +ab1"

// Bind to Mouse1
bind mouse1 +ab1

edit: Why do we keep calling it deathbeep when the cvar is killbeep? D:

You smart, smart man.

Nice job Hawk.
