Lighting gun 0.8.0.

[yasha]

I don't like how lighting gun hits. When you are hit by lighting gun you don't feel it. When you are hit by other weapons character says something like "ah" and screen becomes bit red. When you are hit by lighting gun you just hear that quiet sound of weapon and your HP is falling.... Why there is no effect of hurting when hitted by lighting gun?

I agree with my brother Yasha, one can't feel being hit by lightning gun at all. Especially while you're fighting with someone else at the same time. You can't even tell that your health is dropping due to lightning gun...

P.S.: There was a sound for it in 0.7.6, but it's missing now. Please, fix it in 0.8.1 or such. It's frustrating at times (i.e. you tell someone he/she is a cheater because you think you were shot down by 2 or 3 plasmagun "bullets"...).

I hear vocal sounds when being hit with the lightning gun.

I can only hear a silent hit at the begining (the first moment I'm hit) but nothing is heared after that. But when there's a lot of noise around you that just ain't enough to draw you attention. At least there should be those red pixels ("blood") over the screen as they appear when you're hit by other weapons.

Btw, both me and my brother (Yasha) use 64-bit linux version (downloaded from openarena.ws). He did have some problems with not having any sounds at all, but fixed it somehow. I had the sound from the start, except railgun and lightning gun are too silent.

I can't figure out why you hear no vocalisations. When I am hit with the lightning gun, my character makes several sounds as my health goes down. Maybe you have a technical problem, I'm not sure.
If the opponent is close to you, you should at least hear a loud booming noise whenever they pull the trigger (This sound). If the trigger remains held down, the lightning gun emits no more loud noises though.

When you say the rail gun is too silent, do you mean the actual firing noise is too quiet, or do you have trouble hearing when you hit someone? If it is the second reason, that was addressed here: http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=2053.msg16204#msg16204

I know that the railgun issue is (well) known.

About the lightning gun, I can hear the sound from the link, but not that loud (it's very silent to me so I can barely hear it when I'm the one firing), but that sound in not the problem. The problem is that it makes no sound after that, so you're being hit and hit and hit and hit without feeling it. Especially if you for some reason missed the first sound.

I still think Yasha put this in the wrong forum section. I think it should be in technical snafus or something.

i should really make hitlo/hithi's into baseoa. I did change hit.wav into a fleshy impact, i though abusing nexuiz's hit sound was far too much and i don't like damage horns.

OA needs some decent damage sounds which also differs by the grade of dmg given.

So in case of lighting gun no sound? It gives small damage all the time so very quiet sound....

Lighting gun is hearable, but if you hear some other sounds too, then it isn't. It happened a lots of times that i started to shoot at somebody (player, not bot XD) with lighting gun and he didn't turn to me at all. I think in 0.8.0 the sounds are only problem.

LG gives small damage? Sry u hav no idea...and I suppose u haven't played CPMA yet. Then u might know that the LG has a constantly loud damage sound due to the constant high given damage to the opponent. And a player who doesn't react to your shaft attack might be even worse... ;P

HITHI/HITLO.WAV DOES NOT EXIST
THATS WHY IT DOESN'T SOUND VERY DAMAGING
