Horn of Fear - NOT!

Post by LegionOfDeicide »

Come on, can we please have a sound for the horn of fear that does it some justice. The current effect sounds like a wet fart. Pleeeaaasseeeee.

Horn of fear

Post by PicturesInTheDark »

I'm supporting the notion, although the priority is probably not very high :wink: But it adds to or lessens the atmosphere...

LOL
all the sound effects are so typical of the 1980s genre
horn of fear ?
why pick on that ?

all the SFX are so negligible, but then what sound would you get in a dungeon ?

actually a few far off "ice wind" sounds would be cool I guess

Bump.

Honestly, surely someone can create or sample a sound befitting of the one, the only, the HORN OF FEAR!...

In the coming weeks I'll try to muster up something if I can get my mike to work.

lol, at my current difficulty level not having a fear sound also isn't funny: Every time when no sound is played I now for certain my party is dead.

So yes, I definitely would like to have 2 sounds; for nostalgia reasons I would like to retain the old sound for an unsuccessful fear attempt and a cool horn-of-Gondor-like sound for a successful fear instilling.

Of course the war cry should be handled similiarly. Maybe we can find a cool single moment of a threatening Maori chant or something similar.

Funnily enough, I originally had the idea for CSBwin, for havign a weak version and strong version of each fear effect sound effect wise (and with male/female variants), but more to do with indicating the effects not working no effects without high fighter/priest levels!

I do think a success/failure noise would be a cool thing to add to an attack - could clone other attacks and add the swish or meaty noise to a swing (a la conflux)

Wow, I like that one! Is that the original sound but manipulated a bit?

I can remember playing DM and the horn of fear was on occasion a lifesaver!

it "turned" some vicious looking creatures at right angles just when you needed to evade them, nothing like that in L O G is there? ;)
