Different sounds for joining/leaving/messages ?

[VagueVigor]

Most of the time i just listen to the game to know if people join my game room. But the problem is that i cant tell difference from those players that leave my room. Same happens when someone sends a message.

So could we have it customizable to put your own wav files for:

• Player has joined the room.
• Player has left the room.
• A message has been received.

Browsed through each mod's available sounds; here's what I think would work:

RA
bleep11 - Player joined
bleep12 - Player left
bleep6 - Lobby option changed
CNC
country4 - Player joined
bleep2 - Player left
country1 - Lobby option changed
D2K
stealth2- Player joined
stealth1 - Player left
endlist1 - Lobby option changed
TS
orcaup - Player joined
orcadwn - Player left
boop - Lobby option changed

Chat sounds would remain as they are now.

I recently also went through the available sounds looking for a fitting sound for player name pinging. There are sounds that could work such as those proposed by @Smittytron. However I think it could work out better if we design our own sounds (or use some public domain/open license samples) 🤔 I know this is much more work and we might need a person with the right skills but I want to put this idea on the table.

Tbf I like selected sounds for all base mods, except for RA. They really feel TD like and don't fit RA at all

I've taken a look again while keeping in mind that players will be constantly assaulted by the sounds. This is the list I came up with

For RA

• bleep11 - Player joined
• bleep12 - Player left
• bleep17 - Lobby option changed

For TD

• bleep2 - Player joined
• beepy3 - Player left.
  • This is the best I could find. Though I'm still not a fan of it.
• beepy6 - Lobby option changed

for D2K

• CHAT1 - Player joined.
  • The chat sound sounds like an entrance sound. It would be nice if we were able to change the chat sound itself to something else.
• ENDLIST1 - Player left
• SCORTIK1 - Lobby option changed

with #20050 adding sounds just a matter of changing the yaml definitions in metrics.yaml
