Tired of the Direct Hit's Ridiculous Firing Sound?

[Dr. KillPatient]

Though I'm not realy a fan of the Direct Hit, it came to my attention that its firing sound was a) ridiculous and b) very easy to replace.
For those who dislike the sounds, here's a little soundpack for you. Just drop the 'weapons' folder into tf/sounds and it should work. This replaces the firing and crit firing sounds of the Direct Hit with a slightly modified variant of UT3's rocket launcher blended with the Direct Hit's rocket travel sound, which in my opinion is actually quite fitting.
Please tell me of any improvements I might make, as well as feedback on the volume, pitch, etc.

Indeed I am sick of it! Though this is no better for me. :/ I'll probably still get around to trying my hand at one.

How could one replace it with the original rocket's sounds? :blushing:

 

[Nutomic]

You had to extract the sounds and rename them, and put them into the right folder.

This does not work with sv_pure, right?

I might take the TFC rocket launch sound actually.

"choonk"

As in the TFC ones? Just extract them and put them in the same foldier that I did and give them the same names. I don't have TFC unfortunately, but if you do and you can give me the sounds I'll do it for you.

EDIT: Oh the original rocket launcher. Just extract the rocketlauncher sounds with GCFscape and rename them in the format I used.

This does not work with sv_pure, right?

To my knowledge it shouldn't work.

 

[TheBladeRoden]

Hmm I'll take the Goldeneye rocket launcher sound

/mods sound
I like the idea of a stealthy sound, like it has a silencer. Almost a potato cannon. Hmm...

 

[FireSlash]

I've been using this pack, which replaces the sounds with those from q3a. Comes with a properly tf2-ized crit sound as well.

 

[Sel]

where would I find the halo rocket sound, it would be best!

Am I the only one who likes the Direct Hit's firing sound?

 

[A Boojum Snark]

Yes you are. It's horrible. It sounds like a potato cannon full of seeds and broken glass.

Am I the only one who likes the Direct Hit's firing sound?

I also like it
though i don't play soldier so ive only heard it fired from other people

 

[gamemaster1996]

I dont find it actually that bad. The sound represents the power and speed of the direct hit and for that reason im sticking with it.

I'm using these:

They're a modified blend of http://www.fpsbanana.com/sounds/7220 and the regular rocket launcher sound.

At the speed the rockets are fired, I actually expected it to sound like a small aircraft carrier in a way.

Or a Screaming Eagle. :O

 

[lana]

I got the ion cannon sounds to work.

 

[Tapp]

Or a Screaming Eagle. :O

/mods sound to be a fusion of a potato cannon and an eagle. Actually, that's probably how they originally got the sound.

That's the TFC rocket sound. Might as well link it since i already drop boxed it for steamchat after extracting. It works a lot better than i even imagined.

It's already renamed. You might need to make the "weapons" folder if you don't have one already, and drop it in there in your sound folder.
