For some reason, I love voidwalkers. Hence, I'm very curious about the way custom maps employ them (especially as player-controlled units). And I'm a little disappointed in their soundset.
As far as I can tell, there are four most frequent options:
* use WoW-inspired model together with Water Elemental soundset (which isn't really fitting)
* use Obsidian Destroyer soundset (this is OK, but when used for something important like hero voice lines become too repetitive, especially a single line for attacking)
* use something else only loosely based on voidwalker (War of Argent does this with Shadow Face hero and custom sounds taken from WoW dialogue of Il'gynoth)
* use Shade or Acolyte soundset. C'mon, are you even trying?
Another problem is that shade's death SFX doesn't work well with the rest of Obsidian Destroyer sounds.
So, I took various WC3 unit responses, remixed them using my amateur Audacity skills, and produced 8 new sounds. One of them is an alternative shade death sound, which should be more monstrous/otherworldy than the classic one.
Download soundpack_addon if you need new sounds only. If you want to import the soundset into your map, you'll find soundpack_full more convenient, since you're going to "import" Obsidian Destroyer responses anyway (I suggest replacing the Water Elemental sound set).
I don't consider this to be finished, so feel free to reply with critics or suggestions.
