Gloves | 11,776 Administrator · Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I've done a bit of looking, and have found a few no-copyright-infringement sounds that I thought might fit well for notifications on here. I've attached them here, give em a listen and let me know if any sound good to you. Alternatively, you could provide a totally different sound file and if others like it (and it infringes upon no copyrights), then we could use that. Alternatively alternatively, somebody could throw their hat into the ring and MAKE us our own unique sound, if anyone feels like doing so.

ZeldaFreak | 3,600 Events Team · Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Might be a good idea to also attach the current notification sound for comparison. Totally not just saying that because for some reason I'm forgetting what it sounds like even though I hear it constantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,903 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 The second one. Mario coins FTW. A sonic rings one could be nice too. I know, you don't want something trademarked but something ripped from a sound file on a Genesis cart from 30 years ago isn't going to get this place in trouble. Ring-ring!

RH | 4,903 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 But to be clear, that second one is nice. I was hoping for the sonic sound and the mario sound to be options. I got one, and that's pretty good in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn't have timed that better, Jesus Christ, my heart... I was AFK to get some dinner, I sit down, and apparently I had my audio up way higher than I normally do, and as soon as I put my headphones on, my ears just get blasted by DING! Well, thank you for that, now I remember what it sounds like, hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Count | 526 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I like the coin sound, but I prefer the ring idea proposed by @RH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrekMD | 1,395 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I like the second one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeldaFreak | 3,600 Events Team · Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Honestly, while the coin-like sound isn't bad, I personally find it to be a tad grating on the ears. Of those three options, I would say my favorite by far is the third one, little_robot_sound_factory_Collect_Point_00. It's ear catching... Is that a term that exists? ear catching? Whatever, it's ear catching and gets your attention whilst not being unpleasant to listen to. I really like that one. I'll probably be in the minority in this one I'm sure, I'm sure the coin one is going to win by a landslide, but hey, that's my opinion, haha. Maybe you could implement custom notification sounds or something for jerks like me who don't like that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloves | 11,776 Administrator · Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 I actually added a totally custom system - you can choose your own sound, in addition to the new default sound. Can some folks test it out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can some folks test it out? Hell I made my suggestion of adding a system for custom sounds as a joke, I didn't think you'd actually do it! Really glad you did though, that is really cool. I changed mine to the rupee pickup sound from ALTTP, I guess I'll find out if it worked, haha. My only suggestions for this would be to maybe have a button you can press to test out the sound to make sure it's actually working (and just to make 100% sure you like your choice) and possibly in addition to that a volume slider to adjust the volume of it when the sound does go off. I don't know jack about web development though so I don't know how possible either of these suggestions would be, just a couple of immediate potential improvements I thought of off the top of my head Not to sound ungrateful though, I'm really glad you managed to add a system like this to make everyone happy, haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
