Sound resources

[GrapesOfWath]

I know this has been discussed before, and I know it's considerably more niche than the currently existing resource category, but here's the ~unique twist~ to this thread: I have made 5+ sound resources so far at the time of posting this (I promise they don't suck), and I will literally populate the entire sound resource section if necessary. Pls just give me somewhere to upload sounds

I really do wish Sounds were easier to add to the game, such that we had greater reason to encourage that part of the community.

Would that Reforged had added that. :<

It's on my list

Imagine each sound being a "resource" in a bundle like so:

(Each resource in a bundle is a black rounded box containing something)

And you upload a model and all the sounds that go with it. You have a single model and what, 5-15 sounds depending? The model would be easy to miss in the long list of sounds.

It makes me think that a sound resource should have the ability to contain more than one sound, for soundsets in particular.

But if you upload 3 pieces of music, they might be a resource each and the same with special effects. My only concern is that people would abuse it and upload different soundsets as one.

Oh, and for now it's only MP3, any objections on that? I know WC3 supports WAV but that's silly.

Thoughts?

I mean I could also just make sounds always display in a more compact way or something, to simplify the setup. I dunno...

I really like the idea presented here, it would be similar to how other resources are presented and I think that consistency of resource presentation is important. However I do think that it could get rather cluttered in a bundle of sound sets, where there may be a series of sound sets for multiple heroes. But that sounds like a later problem, and were a sound section added to the Hive I think the presentation you outlined looks quite clean and consistent with the style of presentation for other resources on Hive.

Hm.

Is there any way to have some kind of organization for those black "resource" boxes? Like even something as simple as 'sections' (demarcated with a solid orange line & bespoke titles ("Models", "Icons", "Sounds", etc)? Even better would be to allow custom organization/titles. What about a series of label-able expandable/'hidden' sections, or "tabs"? (basically I guess does forum/VB-code work here xD)

I think maybe you should be able to specify if you're uploading a sound set (like different unit sounds) and if so, that should all be in 1 box and you could open a dialog with all the different sounds listed kinda like when you open up a model and go through all of its animations

probably still keep the dialog thing for solo files as well

I made a call. Sounds are uploaded in the sounds section but you can add them as assets to a model/texture/etc. It means they will be part of the download but not spam up the model page, etc.
