El Croato Sound Package 2.0

This was well worth a trailer.

Could someone please download the video and upload it onto YouTube? The file is not heavy, only 12,5 Mo.

Thanks in advance and good night!

Good! You should ask someone who already has other ITST popular videos to upload it.
However, have you solved the problem regarding metallic sound on some clay shots?

[El Croato]

Thanks man! I have just asked Elio to upload the video onto his YouTube channel

As for those metallic sounds, I have to admit that I quite like them as it brings some variety among the sound samples per category, which have been raised to 10.

Furthermore, if you watch some Roland Garros highlights, you will realize that those metallic sounds are not to be heard seldomly, quite on the contrary.

That is why I have found it relevant to keep them in the pack. Now, if most of you want them to be removed, I will do it without batting an eye. Only in this case, I think I should lower the number of shot samples per category (Hit_Str and Hit_Med) to 5 or 6 instead of the currently displayed 10, don't you think?

The sounds are great, I think you can replace the metallic sounds with non metallic ones without any loss of variety, but just looking for some particular sounds, different from the average ones. I think you can pick some sounds of shots bad hitten, for example. However, the sound pack is already awesome

El Croato Sound Package 2.0

Ladies and gentlemen,

It is 21.00 CET.

As I promised it to all of you, I am offering you hereby my freshly updated and thus finalized sound package, which marks the end of the sounds project I decided to undertake several weeks a ago.

I would like to thank once again all those who give me feedback so as to improve some sound samples, their advice has been very helpful to me.

The sound package 2.0 contains :

1. Chair Umpire Sounds
2. World Tour Finals Sounds
3. HD Indian Wells Sounds
4. Updated HD Roland Garros Sounds
5. HD Wimbledon Sounds
6. HD Australian Open Sounds (*New*)
7. HD US Open Arthur Ashe Stadium Sounds (*New*)
8. HD US Open Auxiliary Court Sounds (*New*)
9. Two Sound.Ini files (see explanation in the short tutorial included in the package)
10. Net and Out Sounds
11. Surprise (I'll let you find it out by yourselves – specific sound.ini file for that one)
12. A New Federer Come On Sound

That's all, folks!

I am really happy I could finalize that project as in my eyes, sounds play a considerable part in increasing realism of tennis video games – my goal with the creation of this package is to make you feel the same when you play TE or ITST-modded TE. No need to say that this is intended for every member of the TE and ITST communities.

Have fun! http://www.filedropper.com/all-in-oneso ... elcroato20

Nice ! The one I like the most is the US OPEN, Arthur Ashe version

I don't like the empire sounds instead; well, it's not your fault here...to sound well, it must come from the same source as the other sounds (like the crowd for instance)...over the Bunbury's sounds, you can clearly hear that Lahyani or Ullrich have a different origin, especially the first one which I think you took it from Bnp Paribas Open or some other indoor tournament. Hearing that in a outdoor tournament is not very pleasing.
So imo to make good empire sounds, you have to make also all the other sounds from the match he's judging. When I did my shot sounds, I actually tried to make also some empire sounds but for the reason before, I wasn't satisfied with the result so I gave up.
Same discussion about English commentary.

There are also some shot sounds that are not that homogeneous with the other ones...by that I mean they have different lengths, volume or echo...anyway, there are so many of them that I can eliminate it if I want

Anway, good job

Thank you very much, Lucian! I appreciate it.

You are absolutely right about the different sources issue. Chair umpire Steve Ullrich's samples actually come from a 2011 World Tour Finals match between Federer and Nadal, and I acknowledge that when those sounds are combined with Bunburry's ones, this can lead to some strangeness.

To make it perfect, Not only would I have had to make two folders per chair umpire, one for the indoor tournaments and another for the outdoor competitions, but I should also have ripped off some applause sounds from the same video so as to make the whole chair umpire section more parsimonious. However, finding so many "usable" chair umpire samples is of course not easy as pie because sometimes, the crowd is too loud for us to hear the umpire's calls - and even when the crowd applauds more quietly, the commentators are speaking while the umpire is making his call. Maybe I will find a better video some day and then, I will be able to improve those sounds.

Concerning the differences in terms of length, echo, etc. among the sounds, I actually wanted to bring much variation in this package because I received some feedback that some samples sounded the same, hence my decision to include various sounds. Furthermore, when you watch a full tennis match, you can easily notice that the players' strikes sound very differently throughout the game as a heavy strike will sometimes make higher-pitch sounds with a bit of echo and sometimes lower-pitch sounds with much echo. I may consider lowering the Hit_Med and Hit_Str samples to 5 instead of 10 in the future, though.

All in all, I am really happy that you globally like this new package. Moreover, feedback like yours is very relevant and is very likely to help me improve my sound modding technique.

See you on the court!

Hey frog eaters!

With just about a fortnight before Roland Garros starts, I found it appropriate to bring a kind of "French touch" into the game.

So enjoy those French-speaking chair umpire sounds, buddies! In this updated all-in-one sound package, you will find Pascal Maria and Mohamed Lahyani's samples, stamming from Roland Garros for the first one and from Monte Carlo (more echo) for the latter.

I also added new Steve Ullrich's samples with much less echo than the samples I had ripped off a World Tour Finals match video. The new Steve Ullrich samples are located in the folder named 'Chair Umpire Steve Ullrich Sounds_version2.

Thanks to Elias who made volume adjustments on Pascal Maria's samples

El Croato Sound Package 2.0 (remastered)

Just a quick one, buddies.

I am going on holiday tomorrow. As I already told some of you, I had been trying to remaster my shot sounds and I am offering you hereby my freshly updated sound modding work.

As far as new features are concerned, I can mention German chair umpire sounds (Mohamed Lahyani, of course ), extended HD English Commentary (more than 20 sayings) and customized Ann_Set1 and Ann_Set2 files, which are actually 30-second ATP music triggering when the set statboard appears. Those who do not want to have that "music break", just don't paste the Ann_Set1 and Ann_Set2 files contained in all chair umpire sounds folders.

I had also been working on new shot sounds, namely Rome and Basel. However, I have not had the time to finalize them so you will have to wait for me to come back from holiday.

Just a little warning: I strongly recommend you to install the English commentary manually (see How_to_Install Guide). However, ITST users playing with the ITST mod 1.15 sound.ini can directly paste the sound.ini file located in the HD English Commentary folder of my pack.

The sound package 2.0 contains :

1. Chair Umpire Sounds (English, French, German *New*)
2. HD World Tour Finals Sounds
3. HD Indian Wells Sounds
4. HD Roland Garros Sounds
5. HD Wimbledon Sounds
6. HD Australian Open Sounds
7. HD US Open Arthur Ashe Stadium Sounds
8. HD US Open Auxiliary Court Sounds
9. Net and Out Sounds
10. HD English Commentary (extended *New* - manual installation recommended)
11. Federer 'Come On' Sound

Have a nice holiday and see you!

I like the german sounds, good quality and clear.

But i have 1 remark to make:

When the set or game is over, you included music/applause, when the the statistic menu is coming up. But it doesn't stop immediately, when you cancel the menu and play another set / go to the main menu. Is it possible to make a trigger into it, that it stops immediately without deleting the Ann_Set1 and Ann_Set2 files?
