Hi everyone,

I noticed, that the tree does not make a sound if chopped down. Hence I tried to find a suitable sound and found this with a CC-0 license (starts at around 7s):

http://www.freesound.org/people/ianoboe/sounds/150203/

I tried to enhance it slightly and add a cracking sound at the start. I got down to 4 possible options (see attachment):

Option1: A slightly heavier/darker crash sound when the tree hits the floor nothing else different from the original
Option2: The Original
Option3: The Orignal with Cracks at start
Option4: The heavy one with Cracks

The idea was to manipulate the sound so that it would indicate when it is broken (the cracks) before it actually falls right after or even at the same time. I would have to hear how it sounds in the context of the chopping sound to actually know if it sounds good but that's where you guys hopefully come in. Please listen to the wav files and let me know what you think. Feel free to create alternative sounds if this is nothing for you.

Sounds cool!
I think I'd favour Option3_TreeFallBrighter2Cracks

Why not using CR sounds?

The licence under which they were licenced (if were) does not allow that

As AlteredARMOR said, we're not allowed to use any of the media files of CR (graphics, sounds etc.)

Nice! I personally prefer the first second of TreeFallBrighter2Cracks; It would sound weird if there is the sound of "tree falls on the ground" if it falls and falls or is stuck.

hm interesting. I was thinking about splitting the sound into cracking and landing anyway. So maybe I could check if it's rotated by at least 80 degrees or got stuck before and only play the first sound in that case.

Hey guys,

here is my attempt at the tree falling animation + sound. Please have a look at it and tell me if it is usable. Might be too much effort but I kinda like it for atmospheric reasons.
I think the .ogg files are not included in the page and it's my first attempt at creating one so please let me know if it is not working.

Cheers,

Koronis

At a quick glance:
- You probably forgot to remove +  Message("%d",(GetContact(-1, CNAT_Left)|GetContact(-1, CNAT_Right)));
- You can include the two sounds in the diff by doing a hg diff --git (or just enable git diffs in the configuration)

I've been hinted towards the style guidelines so I tried to update the code accordingly. Please let me know if I missed something.

Zapper, could you take care of reviewing and pushing the patch? I would have done it this weekend but got a strain injury in my fingers and need to go easy on using my pc in the next time.

Yes, I think I can do that in the course of the weekend
