I've worked in industrial environments before. While i don't want to flood the game with annoying sounds, working in any industrial environment is LOUD and you can hear the power of the motors, pneumatics and hydraulics at work.
Now, rather than flooding the game with obnoxious loops that force the player to turn his headphones down or go deaf in one ear, i was thinking of having this thread become a suggestion thread for audio updates to the current IC2 sound package.
One thing i would like personally is for the sounds to be less 'tinny,' and give a feeling of 'power' when they are turned on.
all sounds need to be 'free' or otherwise public domain; that is, they need to be able to be put directly in the game without any licensing issues.
I don't want this to be an add-on. I hope that those who work on the mod might take our suggestions into consideration in future releases. Having a small thread of audio files that are properly cited and somewhat sorted as such would be a boon for such a change.
