/tg/Station 13

This bounty is for a unique sound played when you spawn, depending on your job. Things like a generic sound of machinery/grinding for Roboticists, or the Papers Please stamp sound for the HoP, boiling water / a pilot light for Chemists, an oven timer ding for Chefs, a shaker shake and pour for the Bartender, a hand drill (or some other tool) for Engineers, some Noir music for the Detective, the sound of a jail cell slamming for Security Officers, etc.

These would add a whole lot to immersion. Hopefully you'll be able to find all of these sounds for free use on public repositories. I don't have the coding experience to implement these myself, or the patience to gather all the sounds, but you could probably lift some of the code from the sounds played when you get turned into various antags.

On a side-note, making a transition from the lobby image to your spawn point was something I was also interested in. Nothing fancy, just a black bar coming from the top of the screen and the bottom of the screen to cover the lobby image, then snapping back after ~2 seconds when you spawn in. It would add even more to getting people immersed in the game.


Please let me know if you are interested, if you had a different price in mind, or a specific payment service (I'd prefer Paypal), need more ideas for sounds, or anything else. Thank you.

Yeah I can do this.

the sound of a jail cell slamming for Security Officers,

this would be great for the Warden. Security officers should have something like a police radio snippet instead, like "10-4" or something. Maybe the HoS gets the sound of jackboots marching or a "Hooah!"?

There's a lot of cool ideas to explore here. What would the assistant sound be? The sound of sneakers squeaking? The curator the sound of flipping through a sheaf of paper? Hissing gasses for Atmos? A heartbeat for medical doctors? A pulse machine for the CMO? What would be a proper sciencey sound for the RD and scientists? The captain?

All great ideas. I'll compile a draft list in the morning of potential sounds for each of the jobs. Assistant, CMO, Scientist, RD, Captain, Geneticist and CE are the jobs I imagine will be most difficult to find sounds for

I'd recommend looking for Cuboos if he's still around, he made some baller sounds in the past

Current draft list of sound ideas. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Assistant -
Captain -
Head of Personnel - Paper being stamped
Quartermaster - Cash register ding
Cargo Technician - The sound played by wrapping paper?
Shaft Miner - Pickaxe hitting rock? Brief snippet of ash storm sound?
Bartender - Beer being poured from tap, or a drink mixer being shaken and poured
Cook - An oven timer ding
Botanist - Some wind rushing through grass/trees?
Janitor - The sound of a bin closing
Clown - HONK!
Mime - Nothing
Curator - Pages being flipped through, or a book being laid on the table
Lawyer - A gavel hitting wood. We already have the sounds for this available to lawyers
Chaplain - Something generic and holy. Hallelujah would work but might be too noisey
Chief Engineer -
Station Engineer - A hand drill
Atmospheric Technician - Gas leaking out of a pipe
Chief Medical Officer -
Medical Doctor - Beep, beep, beeeeeeep.
Chemist - Liquid boiling, or a pilot light / bunsen burner
Geneticist -
Virologist - Monkey screech (could be swapped with genetics)
Research Director - Xeno hiss?
Scientist -
Roboticist - Metal grinding
Head of Security - 2-3 heavy marching footsteps or a Hooah! (thanks Yakumo)
Warden - Jail cell door slamming
Detective - A snippet of noir music
Security Officer - A snippet of senseless radio chatter, or a brief siren of the sort used to indicate you should pull over
AI - A snippet of the dial-up sound?
Cyborg -

I am very sad my name never gets brought up

Using a free of copyright sound library. I think this sound of a computer booting up, and the first 5-6 seconds it: Which has its own fade out. Would be a very good fit for the Ai bootup.

Take a look at the sounds in this library OP.

Cyborgs already kind of get their own start noise since the "I LIVE AGAIN!" sound plays.
-CE should probably play teslazap.ogg on spawn or one of the other engine noises.
-The mop wetting sound fits janitor much better than the bin, or some other cleaning sound.
-For cargo tech, maybe the sound of bubble wrap?
-captainannouncement.ogg might fit for Cap in the absence of anything else.
-I still like the idea of sneaker squeaking for assistants. It's very reminiscent of their... activities. (Assistants make up only 13% of station crew, but...)

Captain could literally have like a generic tiny anthem fanfare, or an eagle caw.

I mention Cuboos since I'm pretty sure he made the antag intro sounds

I've done antag sounds too. :^(

sound of someone saying nerd for curator

Maybe the sound of a forklift backing up echoing through a large warehouse/factory? He does control the MULEbots, after all.

Dawson1917 wrote: Cargo Technician - The sound played by wrapping paper?

Wrapping paper, maybe the sounds of metal scraping/hitting the floor in the distance. Could also have the warehouse door creaking open/slamming shut.

Dawson1917 wrote: Botanist - Some wind rushing through grass/trees?

Space wind ain't got nothing to do with botany. Maybe the rustling of leaves (like someone is touching/watering them, with the hum of machines and the gentle sound of water flowing out of a hose.

Dawson1917 wrote: Lawyer - A gavel hitting wood. We already have the sounds for this available to lawyers

Don't forget the sound of an opening briefcase latch, the shuffling of papers, and a dude/gal clearing their throat.

Dawson1917 wrote: Chief Engineer -

Maybe have a cheesy sci fi sound effect along with the sound of a welder/power tools?

Dawson1917 wrote: Geneticist -

Some sci-fi "scanning" sounds along with a monkey screeching, followed by a zap, and two zaps in quick succession afterward (the zapping being the mutation rays, as you can so easily imagine)

Dawson1917 wrote: Virologist - Monkey screech (could be swapped with genetics)

A fume hood turns on, followed by the sound of a couple uses of an eye dropper

Dawson1917 wrote: Scientist -

Randomly selected from an arc emitter zap, slime squish/blorble, or fizzy explosion, followed by frantic, scratchy note scribbling.

And of course, assistant sounds could be selected from a small collection mundane, if not slightly unpleasant effects. Yawning/snoring, sneakers skulking through maintenance as water drips echo, the opening of a soda followed by slurps and a refreshed sigh, the grunts of a guy stretching with toilet flushing in the background. Anything to hint at the fact that assistants are not as helpful as their job title would suggest.

use this:

$50 please

The assistant noise should be a 10 minute clip of a sovereign citizen screaming legal non-sense at a cop before getting beaten and arrested.

Alternatively, just this little bit.



or



HoP would have a paper stamping sound along with a dog bark in the background.

im attempting to summon cuboos here

ziiiiip

Looking into this if it's still up for grabs, let me know and I'll finish it

I'd be happy to make a couple sound effects at no charge if you're doing the coding. Just hit me up if he gets back to you.

make honk doom theme remix play when you spawn as laughter demon

I don't really plan on coming back to ss13 until later next year. Meant to close this thread a while ago but there isn't a button to

how convenient that you mention this only now when the job is almost done

as if you dont want to pay or something

Is it? I wasn't really close, I just figured out the general method for doing it
Anyways I can lock this thread for you

Also just so it's crystal clear.

When you are looking to fufil a bounty, it is 100% on you to confirm in writing that the person who offered it is interested in paying you the amount, before you start any development work.

I would strongly advise against starting development on something without speaking to the person after your offer to help.
