Any plans to introduce new sound effects into the game that don't sound as goofy and underpowered as some of the current ones do?

For instance, rocket launchers and the laser turrets in TH sound like a hammer hitting a head of lettuce. That fine and dandy for the baseball bat or knuckles, but totally inappropriate for those things. Rockets should have a large BOOM when they hit something, and the laser turrets should sound like the other laser weapons when you hit.

As for the rest, with maybe the exception of the shotgun and Cursed Soul, the sound effects just feel weak.

What bothers me more is the fact theres a rare baseball bat coming and the sound doesnt even come close to being in-sync with the actually 'hit' ... ah well

Lol, I've always thought that was funny. Makes the crunching sound when you start swinging, rather than when it makes contact. Not to mention that it looks really friggin small for a baseball bat.

I want a new Asult Rifle sound. One that goes JaJJJJaJaJaJaJAAJAJAJA instead of Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

New uzi sound too that goes PPRRrprrPrprRPrPRpRrPrPRr

Gat Cannon is bugged atm, as are a lot of weapons, in that it uses the rifle sound. The Unlabeled Gat Cannon has the proper Gat Cannon sound. The sounds are (finally) fixed in the latest test patch.

Can players easily change the sound files?

In a game I have played named Jumpgate,which is a space sim, you could easily replace the sound files. Someone came out with a Star Wars set of sounds for that game, and its REALLY sweet. Hehe.

They're mostly normal .wav files, the only tricky part is that they're in the .pak files, so you need the proper program (http://home.comcast.net/~sovkhan/Nc_VFS_Browser.zip) to acces it.
All of them should be in sound.pak

I had fun with the quake3 mod I made, working with the sounds for that.... I am sure I can make my neocron experience more enjoyable. :)
