Also would like to hear what was actually accomplished by being a sounds admin on Era.

Like I said, sadly comes down to bad reputation. And someone touched before about most people muting Graal, and that's also true. When I start developing I think about fitting music and I'm not sure if I can ever get that accomplished but then reality sets in that if I make the sound experience the best possible, no one's probably going to hear it because the rest of the game sounds like **** that forces everyone to mute.

Just to throw in some statistics, here's the current distribution of "SFX" volumes on Era (76 players online):



The horizontal axis is the range percentage; I grouped players at similar range levels to simplify the graph. The vertical axis is the number of players who fell in that range.

Era has some of the worst sound effects on Graal, so I'm kind of surprised by this—I always play with sound off and figured more players did as well.

But does this take into effect people who simply have their computer muted, or have Graal muted in their mixer? (Rherotical, since I know you can't grab this data)

I know I typically just have my computer muted when I play Graal. Though I NEVER have music in Graal turned on. Sound effects are tolerable, but it'd be nice to see that same graph with the specific sound formats(midi, mp3, wav).

PS you're turning into Google.

You're right that some players may mute their computers, there's no way to test this, but I kind of doubt it's a lot of players.



This is with 78 players online.

Those are some ballsy players, but on the other hand I guess not many servers use midi/mp3s at all. Hell even mines are turned up to like 20%.

i bet a lot of those players have sfx on by default but aren't hearing anything because of the 64bit line they didn't enable

This is where a lot of people confuse opinion and fact in this thread and other threads where opinions run wild. Believing that since they do something, "more people do it, too". I agree that the SFX on Era is rather terrible, but my volume levels in-game only reflect the volume levels I can stand blaring in my ear with headphones in while the Stereo Mix level on my computer is set at 75% on top of that.

[WillaWonka]

Everything buy SFX is at 0% for me, SFX is normally at 60-80%.

sfx rly means nothing since any modern computer can go from 0 to 100% volume
and volume has zero use on era, i advise anyone playing to alternate volume on/off every half an hour in order to limit monotony

Your posts really mean nothing. I advise anybody viewing the forums to completely ignore BloodyKillers posts. <3

Sounds on graal is like smelling something it brings back memories. I always have my sounds on. Any dev position can be difficult if you're passionate about it and care for your work. Anything could be hard I don't see why there is this long discussion about it I think it's very ignorant. If era had a smell there would be a smell admin. hearing something is just as important as seeing it. Nothing's easy if you're doing it right

[salesman]

can i b sounds admin?
