Well here's a thing - the on my Hammerhead won't make a noise when it fires. The table looks good, and the same sound is used happily by other weapons. I'm assuming turrents on player ships aren't supposed to make a launch sound, though this is BAD and should be FIX0RED

[Sesquipedalian]

You just do that "turrent" thing to bug people, don't you?

[SKYNET-011]

It's working.

[IceFire]

Hehehehehe....

No they don't make sounds.  Thats been there since FS1.

It seems to sometimes make the sound and sometimes not. But yeah, this is an obvious bug and should be fixed.

and your turrents are starting to piss even me off now...

[Bobboau]

this is not a bug, in fact

origonaly posted by a V god in the turret_fire_weapon() function

               // Don't play turret firing sound if turret sits on player ship... it gets annoying.
               if ( parent_objnum != OBJ_INDEX(Player_obj) ) {                  
                  snd_play_3d( &Snds[Weapon_info[turret_weapon_class].launch_snd], turret_pos, &View_position );                  
               }

But we wants it, precious. In a heated dogfight, it's reassuring to hear your capping a few Chi- err... Shivans

Usual compromise, methinks - enable it and give the option to the player/model maker/mission designer

You know you want to

[Anaz]

when flying a bomber with a turret, I allways wondered if it was actually working or not, because I could never hear it fire!


could you make it one of those command-line option thingys?

[diamondgeezer]

See?

[Galemp]

Re: turrents. When one person does it just to tick Zylon off, it's funny. When lots of people do it constantly it's a sign of ignorance. They're turrets.

That said... I say make it a per-ship flag. "Player_turret" or something.

[Bobboau]

are we going to make a comand line option for every line of code?

[Goober5000]

I say enable it all the time.  I would have no objection to it.  Does anyone else?

[Bobboau]

enable it if it does indeed get anoying we can always turn it off

[Fury]

I say enable it at all times, it does not change original gameplay balance so it is backwards compatible.

But what if turret firing sound gets annoying for some reason? Eg. a rapid fire pulse weapon with a bad sound effect can get on nerves very quickly. But you could probably modify the weapon's table entry to replace sound effect or delete it.

[CP5670]

Let's try it out for a while and see what it is like; it can be changed back later if necessary. Another option might be to make the sound play at only half volume or something like that.

Quarter volume.  I can see this getting annoying really quickly.

[diamondgeezer]

I'd just like to know when my turret is firing without using the thrid-person view. Also, it looks daft to see a turret firing with no noise, despite... you know... space

[Goober5000]

Actually, the fighter would transmit the turret vibrations through to your ear.  Your fighter turret (and your lasers) ought to be the only thing you hear in space.

[diamondgeezer]

Well, they will be when you guys enable turret sounds, won't they?
