Rain sounds

[Austin Barlow]

Just wanted to post to please tweak the rain sounds. Just had my first match and it was so loud it drowned out almost all other noises including the fans . I personally would like a slightly better sounding rain as well if you get a chance as I love all the other sound effects but this one. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks

Strange - that shouldn't happen. The sounds are located in C:/Program Files/New Star Soccer 5/Engine Media/Match/Sounds. If you can find a better sound file for rain, convert it to .ogg and place it in that folder. (And post it on here.)

Hi Siread,
Done a little more research and I think what is happening is that I turn the volume up to hear the crowd, chants and ball hits (which I tihnk now are a little to quiet because I switch back to windows and forget I turned the volume up and get blasted out of my seat :-)) however when it rains it seems way too loud and I have to turn the volume down. As soon as the rain stops I find myself having to increase the volume again. I do not know anything about adjusting this myself and I would appreciate if you could make a tweak possible. I already have sound FX on loud. I dont know if it would be possible to have a seperate volume control for the weather so it is independant of the FX sounds. Just an idea. I would appreciate your comments. Thanks.

Have you tried updating your sound card drivers?

[Austin Barlow]

Yes I have the latest drivers already. I managed to find the sound files you referred to and went to www.freesound.org (the freesoundproject) and download several new sound files including a new rain/thunderstorm that now sounds the same level as the match sounds, a new cell phone sound, a new newspaper sound, a new cash sound, new achievement sound and a new single whistle sound all found on this website. Some great sounds from there especially the rain/thunderstorm :-). Thanks for your help. If you need any further info (e.g what sounds I downloaded) just let me know. I know the sounds are free to download (after signing up) and I think you just have to acknowledge who made the sounds in your game. Just an idea. I really appreciated that I could change the sounds in the game so easily. Thank you.
