Here are some sounds I made myself for unit makers who want custom sounds for their creations. They are in .wav format, so you can't use them "as is" (civ3 sounds are in 22,050 Hz, 16bit Mono, 43 kb/s), you need to convert them (or ask me any format you need). This is the first wave, I'll put some more if people want more. I could also make combinations of different sounds so they match with your units, just put it in a very simple language so I can understand what you want.

Some samples (mostly mechanical sounds made with... my old car!)

Here are some more sounds: SF ones. I think they must be hard to find, although they are quite easy to produce. I'll put them in Civ format as soon as I can. Hear them here

@Storm: Glad you like them buddy :) They are mostly mechanical sounds but some of them could be used for non-mechanical units I think... with a little imagination. See what Vulda can make with his voice...
@Orthanc: I had seen this library long time ago. It started in 2002 and my sounds wouldn't have been noticed there. I like the idea that I have my own library :D and it is going to have many updates...
Does anybody know if we can upload sounds from other games (with credits and copyright) ? This place is mainly for my own sounds, that's ok, but if people want some other sounds... I have everything to put them into proper format for civ3. I mean with quality, not talking about that lo-fi Microsoft Sound Recorder you can find on Windows...
 
I have hundreds of military sounds already working for civ. If there's need, I will start making a special library for that in two to three weeks time, so that you could focus on other sounds. :)

We need them for sure. It would be very useful if you could post the Sounds Library of your own. :goodjob:
 
@Ares: I'm ok with that. I prefer strangeous sounds of my own. Go make your library :run: Now that we have a place in the database... Let's take it !
@yoda: is it sticky ? Really ? BTW it is a "Unit Creation Sounds Thread" not a library... and it is quite old an messy, we should make a proper one
 
Yes it's a sticky in the main unit forum, and has been so since 2002. People are still posting sounds in it.
 
themanuneed... The sounds you made from your Car are excellent, Top Quality :goodjob:
I think it is a Very Good Idea to have an Organized Sound Creation Thread. The problem with the current sound thread is that the sounds are scattered and difficult to wade through to find something particular.
There should be General Categories.
...Just so people know, themanuneed works with sound professional and it is nice of him to offer his professional expertise :)
 
scenario developers can use this, too! well done :cool:

i've always found myself wanting good victory and fidget sounds for infantry units. perhaps themanuneed or Ares has some that aren't uploaded etc? Vuldacon is right; that thread w/ all of the sounds is quite cluttered imo and i can never seem to find what i'm looking for (ie. tounge-specific sounds) in terms of my stuff and all...

anyhow, we could really use some good fidget and victory sounds for infantry units :)

Thank you sir :hatsoff: you're flattering me... ;)
Everyone could start his own creation thread, and after that we could creat a library, same as for units. A place with organized stuff and no comments or requests. Still I'm not sure there will be enough stuff to put in there... how many unit creators actually make sounds fot their units ? Most of them use firaxis sounds without modifying them, sometimes just a link in the .ini file ! (Which makes your unit hard to use with non-english versions of Civ3...)
 
New sounds added. SF sounds, see first post. If some of you want to know how to make them, take a look at the pic. That's a vst plug-in I've been using for the two mp3 files. It is a virtual synthesizer specialized in spacey sounds.

Generally, the .wav sounds for unit animations are made up of many different sound bytes that are mixed, overlapped and put together for the timing of the animated actions that take place in the short Flc.
...I think good quality short sound bytes are very much needed for single actions. Those who know how to put them together for a specific Flc would be very happy to have them. Also, if short single sound bytes are made and posted in Categories that would help people find what they are looking for easier and faster :cool:
