Customizable sound files

Post by dreamtheatervt »

I haven't purchased the game yet (waiting until I catch up on work), but as an old FBPro vet, I've been waiting for something like this to come around that will run on a XP machine.

Would it be possible to include in a future patch the ability to play fight songs and other music supplied by the end-user? It would be nice to have the game play a fight song after a team scores.

Thanks for giving us coaches another game to tinker with, as well as embracing 3rd party additions.

It would be nice to have a sound file associated with each team, so that when they are the home team, the file plays.  The Maximum-Football theme could be the default.
 
By the way, many of the in game sounds can be edited.

I've looked into editing some of the sounds in the game, more specifically the crowd noises. The only problem is that it's hard to find decent crowd sounds on-line anywhere. The stock crowd noise .wav seems a little 'tinny' to me, which is more a failing of the recording than the game, and any attempt I've tried to get a better file has hit a brick wall.

I've replaced the MaxFB theme with the Fox NFL Sunday theme, which is kinda cool. I've tried contacting TSN to get a .wav file of their Friday Night Football theme to put in the game, but they haven't responded yet.

Yeah before i updated my game i have crowds for college complete with drums and stuff.
I also made them a little louder and lowered that whistle( it got very annoying)
I dont remember where i got them but there were a lot of bites of crowds and etc.
I even put futball(soccer) crowds sounds for i kinda like the chanting and singing.

I like that too.
 
It's too bad North American fans don't get into football that way.

Now that I own the game, would you consider adding this in a future release David? [:)]  Doesn't seem like it would be too difficult.  It could be optional because most professional teams don't have fight songs.

If it was saved with the team or the stadium and played during the stadium "spin", then teams could have the Maximum-Football theme as the default - just as they do now.
 
Which ever way is easier (team or stadium) would be fine with me.
 
It would be nice if all of the game sounds saved that way.  Then the home team sounds would play after touchdowns and such.
 
It would also be nice to have a randomness to sounds, so that a touchdown, as an example, could be one of a few files available.  That would take more work though.
 
We talked about this a while back in the beta forum, but it looks like any sound changes may have to be set up when any new graphics come in.  That's up to David.  Sound files usually have to be paid for, so that is an added consideration.

Well, I was thinking if the game came with a few generic sound files (like the MF theme for fight song, band song 1, band song 2), then the end-user could plug in their own sounds, that way it wouldn't come as an expense to Matrix/Wintervalley.  Most schools have mp3's of their fight song somewhere on their school website for download legally if you are willing to look for them.
