just wanted to say thanks for the MWD sound. I can easily tell if something activates a MWD on grid with me when i solo, without even looking at the overview. That being said, it would be cool to have a more distinctive AB sound. Currently it sounds like the normal engine sound just slightly louder.

Yea, I'm working on something similar.
It's really important to have as many features to make overview and other things unnecessary, and I will continue to work on this - so that playing the game will actually be possible, without basically becoming a text based adventure game and a constant lookout at the overview.

not sure if your engine can do this. but have you experimented with doppler effect? so that you could tell if something MWDs towards or away from you. This should make flybys sound also quite cool.

Any plans on re-installing the Jukebox? I like my music and used the Jukebox all the time.

This isn't going to happen. People should stop asking about it.

imo, both mwd sounds and ab sounds are too discreet.

Why not making a sound perhaps shorter but louder ?
For instance, something like that : http://youtu.be/hX0p0irEOls?t=1m14s

I'm sure that you will recognize it :D

One of the problems with this and making it louder, is that in case there are many people in the same "scene" and we have a lot of players doing the same thing or basically doing anything, then we have a problem controlling this.
So making something louder, doesn't always solve things- in the specific case of you being alone and wanting the sound louder because it gives you a proper warning or heads up - sure it would do the trick.

but changing something like this, needs to work in many different types of scenarios and would require quite a bit of testing and tweaking of the system.

I understand. Although the case of having a sound stacking a huge number of times in a short period already exists when a titan bridges a fleet. And overall, it seems like a manageable sound. A couple of people smartbombing also produce a loud mess.

So, given that some examples already exists in game, is there still any hope ? :D Because obviously you did it before ! And I'm pretty sure that a fleet of people afterburning would still sound cool ! *Bam bam bam bam bam !*

Just wanted to say Thank You to CCP WNT both for the work and for the forum interaction, it's much appreciated.

While I do have the music turned to zero (hey, I'm 50+, and the game soundtrack isn't made by Rush) I consider all other sound related stuff in Eve as important, or even more important, than the graphics.

Being able to hear what's happening is crucial to my situation awareness.

What are you guys talking about? I have been trying to find any sort of sound for either AB or MWD and there isn't anything whatsoever, maybe a slight hum but I cant tell. Any type of sound for their activation would be nice.

( yall make it sound like their is some great noise when u turn on a MWD, but there isn't anything at all. Am i missing something here?)

that's odd. because you are definitely missing something.
when you turn on the AB or MWD you should get a specific sound (to either) - the AB having a more powerful burning sound than the booster and some sporadic bursts of "fire".

and the MWD having a turbine like sound, both when firing it up, powering down and while running.

I restarted my client and turned off music, warped to a random planet and turned world effects all the way up, I can only hear a slight differenence when I zoomed all the way so that my kronos engines took up all the screen, the sound is extremely underwhelming, can't evev hear it unless engines take up entire screen, and even then I wouldn't notice it unless I was concentrating on hearing it, the volume of the effect definitely need to be majorly increased.

I'm not sure if you're in charge of the files encryption but
Is there any way we can extract audio from the game files? Could do it up until Odyssey 1.1, until it was changed into another file format. Why the switch

No. previously you could do if you hacked the audio engines format, but they may have changed their format - I can't say I would like you to extract the audio files, but there will most likely be a Wwise extractor at some point again.

Sorry if i ask this a second time, but i don't read the complete post.
Are you adjusting the warp sound samples (accelerate / decelerate) to the changed warp speeds? If i use a fast ship like a Covert Ops Frig in some situations i came out of warp and the sound sample still plays the warp acceleration sample ... before the change all ships are going to top warp speed in nearly the same amount of time, but now it's "slightly" different. Exiting warp is the same problem ...

uhm. this is a weird issue.
because we had some problems with client, speed of ship and so on - so I can't say if we'll make it for Rubicon.
Right now it will just sound the same way.

I would, if possible, have a specific warp time calculated and then use that.
so that slower ships would sound more powerful and heavy than fast paced interceptors.

Also if you would be able to hear when other warp away - within a certain range, then being able to hear something that would indicate how fast they would warp away would be pretty cool.

But I'm working on it - just can't say what will come out of it right now.

Being near the sun causes a loud humming noise. Is this intentional?

not sure if your engine can do this. but have you experimented with doppler effect? so that you could tell if something MWDs towards or away from you. This should make flybys sound also quite cool.
