Identifying battle sound effects

[Mauron]

It seems that the tech ended before the sound finished playing. I put a longer pause in for the F3 recording. Some kind of wind/enemy attack sound? It's possible my playback has some looping in it.

I thought you had said F9 earlier. Whoops.

[xcalibur]

The F3 video sounds just like BB, which is used for Glacier double tech and Spin Strike triple tech. That's strange... maybe one tech uses BB and the other uses F3?

[Mauron]

Spin Strike uses F3, not BB.

[xcalibur]

I thought they sounded a little different! I just updated my post. Now we're down to 13 sounds unaccounted for.

[xcalibur]

I did some important editing/reformatting. I think it's close to being a finished product, finally. I just need Mauron to verify that the rest of the unknown sounds are unused, whenever it's convenient. I also want to clear up the few uncertainties.

[Mauron]

heavily modified from the SPC, which sounds like a pin drop)

I don't think this is the case. I think the SPC file in that collection has some other sound in place of the actual sound.

I'll scan through some more of the unknowns later. It's a bit of a tiring scroll fest for each one.

well that's a bit confusing. if you're sure of this, I'll remove that bit of information.

and I understand, I don't want to make any demands. this can proceed whenever you're ready.

[Mauron]

The SPCs are created by playing the sound effect in game. My simplified test case to play that sound in game didn't match the file at all, so I can only assume there was a recording error or file mixup.

I want to get this list into Hi-Tech soon, so I'll get to the last few unknowns.

[xcalibur]

Okay, I edited.

once the unknowns are dealt with, I'd like to make a few more edits to finalize this. as I mentioned, there are a handful of uncertainties marked with a question mark ?, and I'd like you to check on those too. it won't be many, maybe ~5.

also: I formatted this to fit on the forum. I figured if each entry takes up only 1 line here, then it should be acceptable for Hi-Tech. ideally I'd like the entries put in full-length to properly describe the sounds. if they need to be shortened, I'd like to have input. and let me know if there are any other issues.

eta: thinking it over, maybe I could shorten the entries by removing all content in parentheses and reworking it from there. after all, the full version should be on here, the wiki, and a text file. how does that sound?

[xcalibur]

I went ahead with an abridged version, pending analysis of the unknowns. let me know what you think. next post

also, I'm a Chronopolitan now!

[xcalibur]

This is an abridged version of the Battle Sound FX list, intended for use in the Hi-Tech editor. For longer annotations and Tech Recipes, see the full version; which should be available as a text file and on the Chrono Compendium forum & wiki.

[Mauron]

F9-FE are unused.

Unfortunately while checking that range, I realized my earlier checks didn't work right. I'll have to go over them again.

[PrincessNadia78]

So I just wanted to say that all of you that know this stuff I give MAJOR props to. I don't know how to do this stuff so I think you all are so smart! I just wanted you guys to know! 

[Mauron]

Thanks.

09 Unused
48 Rolypoly's attack when alone, unused Jinn Bottle attack 1, Unused Roly bomber attack attack 2, Unused Son of Sun attack 2.
5C Enemy tech 26 (currently listed as physical attack, weird sound), Super Command 19 (currently listed as glitchy. It should work, but will screw up if used in certain techs. It's unused.)
66 Unused
79 Unused
A7 Unused
BA Unused
C2 Zombor's Doom, Doom, Doom, Doom...
CE Enemy Tech 1c, similar to Dalton's burp, Enemy tech 61, similar to Magus's Dark Mist
DB Unused
F2 X-Strike

I can record some of these techs later.

[xcalibur]

Thanks. Mauron is more on the technical side than I am, but I'll accept that nonetheless.

Zombor was one of the few battles I didn't look into, of course he was holding out on me! 

I updated, but this creates more questions. I had thought 49 was used in X Strike, but apparently not, which means 49 is a new unknown to check. X Strike is kind of tricky because the sounds are layered on top of each other.

Are you sure 48 is used by those enemies? the SPC is a looped electronic sound. could it be another case of the SPC differing from the in-game sound?

can you check if CE (aka enemy techs 1c and 61) are used? if so, I'd like a lead on this (relevant enemy, dungeon, etc).
