Sound names from the .tpa files

[RexHunter99]

You wouldn't really need to add the demo. It has only sounds from the retail TPA, just the ordering might be different (and tehre are fewer)

[machf]

It's the fact that there are fewer which makes it easier...

[Draconisaurus]

Hmmmm... Thankies - Could you put up the latest version in .TXT format?

PS: Why are there SoundMaterials files for Beta96 but not "Tres"?

[machf]

Hmmmm... Thankies - Could you put up the latest version in .TXT format?

No, export it yourself if you want... I'm only releasing spreadsheet versions now, for quite some time.

PS: Why are there SoundMaterials files for Beta96 but not "Tres"?

Because I haven't done them, as I haven't installed the Retail version on this notebook... and I already had the SoundMaterials listing for the Retail inside the TPA sound names listing, anyway.

Hey, how do we know that the demo tpa dosen't hide some we haven't found? I think we should make one, just in case. Might help with the other once we haven't find out.

Success! I just found another one:

Code: Select all

4	BD13E6A1	50407	11605	0	-3	WBOR	6E	36	1028	11569	46110	22050	16	1	1	0	0	"Bullet – Metal A"

What's the big deal, you say? Well, this is the first one I manage to identify corresponding to bullet hits. Now that I know what they look like, I'll be able to easily find the names of the rest.

EDIT: in fact, I just found two more:

Code: Select all

5	7CF67E1A	79722	54638	0.00	0.00	WBOR	6E	36	0	54602	54602	22050	16	1	0	0	0	no	"Bullet – Water A"
312	7EA45A29	8131412	8081	0.00	0.00	WBOR	6E	36	1028	8045	32070	22050	16	1	1	0	0	no	"Bullet – Dirt"

No luck with the "big ones" yet, though... (#454-456)

[tatu]

Awesome! Keep up the work.

[Draconisaurus]

Ah yes, those sound quite familiar, nice job.

[tatu]

machf, have you tried named with golf hocket baseball etc? Btw, in an interview one dev said something about InGen Baseball Diamond. And something with gold maybe?

[Draconisaurus]

It was actually "Employee baseball diamond in the InGen Town," btw.

[machf]

There's an invalid soundmaterial named "Wood Bat" in the Beta, but nothing similar in the Effects file. And I've also tried variants of "Hockey Stick", for example.

[Draconisaurus]

Hey so.. I'm looking in your release of TresTPAs.xls. The Foley Table seems really fraked up. While the text file lists block 0 to 2597, the xls starts at 748, counts up, and then after 787, it starts skipping around everywhere: 826, 867, 910, 953, 985, .... keeps skipping around until ending with 2500 and 2562. Wtf?

[machf]

Oh, just unhide those rows. I applied a filter to search for specific entries and left it when I uploaded it, that's all...

[Draconisaurus]

Haha.. I can't figure out how to remove all filters, so I made a filter that is "Is greater than 0 Or equal to 0"

Speaking of the .tpa names... I found out more Ambient sounds over the past days. In the past I had tried the term "klaxon" for these two, with either a space or a dash before the "01". It turned out there were no spaces or dashes. Duh!

Code: Select all

112	153E7520	6675334	6292	0,00	0,00	WBOR	6E	36	1028	6256	24928	22050	16	1	1	0	0	no	"SPEC-GATE KLAXON01"
113	8C37249A	6681626	10609	0,00	0,00	WBOR	6E	36	1028	10573	42140	22050	16	1	1	0	0	no	"SPEC-GATE KLAXON02"

Now with "GATE KLAXON" identified for those two, the next one should be something similar. And guess what:

Code: Select all

114	26796612	6692235	26348	0,00	0,00	WBOR	6E	36	0	26312	26312	11025	16	1	0	0	0	no	"SPEC-GATE KALXON03"

A freaking typo! Looks like there are several throughout the listings, after all.

Also, knowing that there were no dashes or spaces, trying the other three sounds was now simpler:

Code: Select all

118	6E525BD8	6771063	60900	0,00	0,00	WBOR	6E	36	0	60864	60864	22050	16	1	0	0	0	no	"SPEC-INTRUDER ALARM01"
119	F75B0A62	6831963	37020	0,00	0,00	WBOR	6E	36	0	36984	36984	22050	16	1	0	0	0	no	"SPEC-INTRUDER ALARM02"
120	805C3AF4	6868983	28554	0,00	0,00	WBOR	6E	36	0	28518	28518	22050	16	1	0	0	0	no	"SPEC-INTRUDER ALARM03"

I had previously tried "RAPTOR ALARM 01", "DINOSAUR ALARM 01" and possibly even "INTRUDER ALARM 01", but again, didn't consider NOT leaving anything before the "01" part...
Now, for #124 I had tried before "SPEC-RADIO STATIC" and "SPEC-TRANSMITTER STATIC", but it wasn't. However, it turned out the hash value for "SPEC-RADIO STATIC" actually matched #121:

Code: Select all

121	D2636A29	6897537	20587	0,00	0,00	WBOR	6E	36	1028	20551	81926	22050	16	1	1	0	0	no	"SPEC-RADIO STATIC"

Doesn't sound too much like radio static to me, but...
That still left #124, which turned out to be:

Code: Select all

124	F8E11FE5	7088745	24356	0,00	0,00	WBOR	6E	36	1028	24320	96948	22050	16	1	1	0	0	no	"SPEC-TV STATIC02"

As for #115:

Code: Select all

115	5485991F	6718583	15898	0,00	0,00	WBOR	6E	36	1028	15862	63226	22050	16	1	1	0	0	no	"SPEC-FLOURESCENT LIGHTS"

Yep, another freaking typo, I *had* tried "spec-fluorescent light" some time in the past...
That leaves 6 to go. Let's see if I can find them...
