"Oof" sound played when landing on actor

It really shouldn't be doing this, should it? Not when landing more than 24 pixels. Can be reproduced by jumping on an actor when already standing on it.

Why not? I know the code responsible for this and it's certainly not a bug.

[Sodaholic]

Why is it intentional? It doesn't make any sense, because doing the same thing on solid ground doesn't do this.

Ask Raven's developers why it is the way it is.

That would explain why jumping on thing bridges causes an oof, then.

IIRC you mentioned a slight change in the max distance required to get these sounds when falling onto a flat. I take it the code for flat and thing landings are too separated?

May I ask why the drop and even splash sound were suppressed from simple jumping? It doesn't make much sense if you think of it: first it makes the jumps all silent, second -- some games (in fact Hexen) have already thought about it, and created a mere foot-drop sound for jumping, along with the default oof noise for dangerous falling (actually I don't remember if jumping on water causes noises -- if it does, sorry. But if it doesn't, it's kinda wrong). Stepping on water removed the splash, however. Probably it was meant as a gameplay enhancement, so you can choose to be silent by not plunging.
