I don't know about anyone else, but the base JKA sound effects for abilities like jump and force powers feel extremely dated, obnoxious, and are a bit of a dead-give away for stealth and some other situations. The same goes for the big, immersion-breaking overlays for powers like absorb and protect. I'd like to open a project for replacing these with more imersive things, but I wanted to open the suggestion to see how others, and Soh, felt about it first.

What does everyone think?

Force speed is the role-playing breaker master '^' +1

I have to agree with Krojan, the speed sound has to go. And a few others could do with changing.

I agree. I'm in full support of this idea of an overhaul for the animations and sounds. For almost all the powers.

Yeah, I'd love it, if we removed the overlays for protect, would be gooooooood!

Do it. (insert Palpatine face here)

Glad you mentioned this Sy!

I've been working on a pack the last couple of weeks that includes replacements to force sounds & effects, among other things.

Nearly got a beta version ready for testing and feedback, which I'm happy to hand out once it's compiled.

Bare with me!

Speaking of force speed, is it possible to like- change that running animation so it looks less awkward. Your feet moves faster than your arms do, and that was probably cause speed was only set up with that slow motion thing from SP in mind, rather than the developers changing it in multiplayer.

Animations are a whole different ballgame than overlays and sounds. It requires knowledge of animation programs and is a bit more advanced.

I have to agree, certain sounds should be turned off or altered for instance the mind trick effect is another dead give away, specially for stealth purposes.

I have a mod that has a few changes for sound (Mind Trick, Push, Pull, Lightning I think is all). I can post them when I'm back home!

Alright, as promised! Keep in mind that this was a WIP that I forgot about so the pull sound wasn't ever added, so it's silent. The changes are as follows:

Sense: Silent.
Mind Trick: Silent.
Push: A more "cinematic" sound effect, along the lines of EPI.
Pull: Silent, WIP.
Lightning: A more "cinematic sound, similar to EPVI.
Jump: Silent (Note: this doesn't change the landing sound).

Enjoy!

Awesome Delmi, thanks!

Still, it'd be great to see this become part of RPMod so everyone gets the same effects. Only fair when it comes to stealth and such.

With Soh's agreement, perhaps it and any other effects or changes could be provided as a add on for RPMod?

There are commands that can remove the 'motion-blur' effect from speed, as well as the bright overlay that turns on whenever you use sense. I don't remember the commands off-hand but I will look for them again.
