GalaXion24 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 You all know what I'm talking about! It strikes from the shadows. It appears without warning. It is... the "boink" sound. Please! It's funny for a while, but it's not just annoying, it's immersion breaking. That's the last thing you want to do in a game: break the immersion. Seriously, I'm on my way, happily burning people to ashes, doing all the teamwork stuff, then suddenly: "boink". Completely unexpected, completely out of place. At the very least have an option to remove it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoundShades Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 The option to remove it would be nice. Default on, toggleable in audio settings. Question: How accurate must "upk" files be before you version mismatch with a host? Could I modify one, however coy it may be, to remove or replace with an inaudiable equal-sized sound file and then repackage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henk Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Maybe it's possible to have a boink.upk file that doesn't need to match? I am pro-boink btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epicelite Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 PRO-BOINK!! Its part of the game, if you don't like it you're playing the wrong game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja955 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 We should have a choice in the options menu to disable it or to change the type of sound we get when we get a kill. That should be fair enough. I personally love the boink sound but some people seem to be disturbed by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff Handepsilon Posted April 2, 2016 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted April 2, 2016 I have embraced the boink fairly quickly, and I was new to Renegade multiplaying. It's just part of the murders in the RX now That's not to say that I'm against any attempt to make options for sound changing/disabling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorB0NG Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 As much as I love the boink, this guy is right. It's odd, out of place and should have an option to be turned off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axesor Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Boink should be defenitely optionable just like gore is. But more than boink sound annoys me big ass HUD, mainly name on the body that has too big contrast (sorry if I used a wrong terminology) that distracts too much from actual character. It's even worse if there is a bigger concentration of the enemys. I am sure that everybody knows what I am talking about so I don't need to post any screenshots. It just forces eyes to look at the name. What if there was no name, no box around the target? maybe make health a little bit smaller..? Don't know if it just a me but I simply can't ignore that.

XD_ERROR_XD Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 As much as I love the boink, this guy is right. It's odd, out of place and should have an option to be turned off. If the boink sound was toggleable, nobody would've gotten used to it before they turned it off. What i'd rather have is being able to make my custom boink sound instead!

MrSeriousOak Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 You want to remove the very thing that makes Renegade be known as Renegade? Not just some crappy CoD game with destructible buildings and a currency? Burn him! Burn him in the fires that he was sent from! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
