      Hero Death Notification

      By Samulis · Posted

      No need; I can take care of creating any sound if needed (just tag me). There are a range of unused attack-alternate sounds which may work (and were recorded with real ancient horns and flutes rather than samples), perhaps one of them would work? e.g. 06-Alt, 09-Alt seem sort of mournful to me. I cannot remember though which one we chose for the game though, and obviously this sound should be different! https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/f6ot29y8g0h7w9zi4zyux/AJzOb3kuVNWPyqfuMhy7xSE?rlkey=ojaj28tbanhgsmg0yxp2hhejo&st=tvrfmeo3&dl=0 Attacked_06-Alt.wav Attacked_09-Alt.wav

      The second By the way, I would have to start making sounds or mixing sounds in the absence of a sound designer.

      Yes, the first one is rather busy and would likely get lost among the other game sounds. The second one is much better.

      Hero Death Notification

      By Vantha · Posted

      I found this interesting ticket (by @wowgetoffyourcellphone) for a hero death notification. I already wrote the necessary code, but there are still some details left for decision, which I want to discuss in this thread. Firstly, what exactly should the chat notification say? And what players should it be broadcasted to? If more than just the affected player himself, it should be indicated whose hero it was. Maybe by coloring the hero name in the player's color? (Though I'm afraid that might cause some confusion; the hero could be mistaken for a player). Currently, my best pick is "<ColoredPlayerName>'s hero <HeroName> has fallen in battle.", but I'm positive we can find a cooler formulation. Secondly, the ticket also mentions a sound effect. I found the following unused hero death sound among the game files: alarm_hero_fallen_1.mp3     I think it sounds alright, but it's just... rather boring. Here is an alternative I was able to create (supposed to sound more epic), it resembles an ancient military signal horn: alarm_hero_fallen_2.mp3   Which one do you prefer? (Keep in mind that it is not the unit's death sound, but a globally played notification - like the alarm when being attacked) And, yes, as suggested by the ticket, I also created a skull icon that appears over the portrait after the hero dies. Here is what it looks like in the UI:
