BONNNNNGGGGG!!!!!1111 A Secret is Revealed!
This is not necessarily a suggestion for the devs directly, but for any talented person able to produce a nice sound for the current DSSECRET in GZDoom.pk3. It's also, partially to gauge opinion to see if there is any appetite for replacing the current sound. Some people may be attached to it, I dunno.
I know that it's very easy to create a personal mod that replaces DSSECRET and put the mod on autoload but, to me, the default sound is a pretty obnoxious and far too loud sound (I have a 5.1 system and I can feel the sub shoving air around below my desk when I find a secret). If you are playing a nice, dark, creepy mod and you come across a secret, that BONNNNNGGGGG can really make you (a) shit yourself (not in a good way) and (b) rip you out of your immersion in the game. I just think that it would be nicer if GZDoom shipped with something a bit more subtle but still a generic electronic sound of some sort; something that better conveys the finding of something secret... somehow.
It would, of course, have to be something with appropriate copyright (presumably made by a contributor here (not ripped from another game) and compatible with the GZDoom license). I may have a go at something myself but I know that there are people on here who are far better placed to make something than I am.
Thoughts? Is it something to replace or am I massively out of step? Does the rest of the community love the bong existing sound?
