Well, in order for a MOD to use a sound like that, it needs to be uploaded to your computer. Which is why it's in that folder. Try a freash install of NS. It's not there.

EDIT: Nevermind that last part.

Deus_Ex_Machina · September 2004

The other turret sounds are way better than the default one, but it makes you want to turret farm because the sounds are so cool.

WhiteZero:
I just made a fresh install of NS into a totally blank folder. Never ran it(wasn't in my steam folder anyway) And look:
C:\folder\ns\sound\hud\alien_needbetter.wav
Its not a mod, so what is it caused by?

Your whole team getting put on the spawn queue.

Toothy · September 2004

Yes, 'we need better players' is indeed a standard NS sound, triggered by the vast majority of the alien team being dead.

As for the 3 unused turret sounds, I actually have sometimes heard them play ingame, sometimes in a large turret farm one of the turrets will use a different sound.

Very strange...

Of course, if you think they sound better, why not simply rename two of the files around, so that the standard sound is replaced by one of the ones you prefer?

it's a bug. the other 3 sounds are what the turret is supposed to sound like after each weapon upgrade. this bug was supposed to be fixed, but i guess it's still there

Alkiller · September 2004

And there's also "I see dead people" if one alien kills a bunch of people...

Check out the alien sounds in:

That ssay74 sound isn't default.

You see, there's lots of different English accents, apparently the kharaa have a posh englishman doing their narration.

Just to clarify:
Someone from the south-east of England would say "would you like to donce"
Someone frmo the north of England would say "ay up, fancy a dance lass"?

anyway. that probably doesn't mean anything to anyone.

ah well.</td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>

Looks like it's time for me to share some NS history with you. Way back in early 2002, before the aliens even had names; donce was (and still is) in common usage in the official IRC channel #naturalselection. The sound that occasionally plays when the aliens get 3 hives, "Now we donce" is not in fact a mispronounciation of 'dance' or even from an english accent (random trivia: The lady who did the voice of the hivemind is American); it is actually a nod towards the NS community, to be precise, it's a nod to the IRC channel.

Mr_JeburtO · September 2004

im pritty shore theres an admin command that allows you to say the alien things because Bry does it all the time

IBT · September 2004

i have heard the ammo request sound, the comm said he never paid attention to the icons on the left and when the commchair went down, we all heard it.
all 1 and 4 i heard, but 3, no, never.

Bry · September 2004

First off the sounds are determiend by mp_eastereggchance
Set this value to x, where 1 in x+1 games will play humorous audio easter eggs in certain situations. Setting to 0 will enable them for all games. This affects alien voices only.

Now, we donce = when you get 3 hives
We need better players = results froma failed rush
This is my hive, there are many like it, but this one is mine = when a gorge sits in an unbuilt or building hive for a long time
This place is a mess = when a lot of players are together in one area and about half die
I see dead people = when one skulk kills i think 5-7+ marines on his own.

LeetLlama · September 2004

Someone needs to get one of those text-to-speach players to work with the hive voice <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Lt.Realness · September 2004

yay I actually heard just 2 of 'em!
the
"this place is a mess"
and
"this is my hive.."

I wanted to know what triggers them <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /> Now I know it hehe

Mouse is quite correct along with Tycho.

The "donce" is a close relative of "pance"

Daxx · September 2004

You'd have to have been around a long time to still know that reference tho. Pretty much as old as Bob the now Skulk, and the first Flaytona <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

Nice post Bry. I'm sure i've never heard "I see dead people" in game after 2 years, but maybe....

Can anybody host this ssay74 file, it's not default and I want to hear it!

CrazyFool · March 2005

Hive Porn is under attack= LIFE FORM is under attack ex. when a gorge is getting pwn'd

douchebagatron · March 2005

this is really old, and what you said has already been addressed in this thread.

its bad enough to bring such an old thread back, but to answer a question that has already been answered? wow.

CMEast · March 2005

Yeah, I remember donce <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /> (see my join date <--)

So to clarify, it's donce not dance, nothing to do with imaginary english accents.

I say imaginary because I am English and I promise you, the general american idea of what the English are like is very <i>very</i> wrong.
