I took your Superb Mix of the background (heartbeat, screams etc) and added some wind, thunder, laughing, a bit of organ, everything I could to build up the suspense...

In a dark map, with only you left, and all you can hear is screaming.... oh god, at one point it got me so scared I almost fell off the seat!

It's about 1mb bigger than your original, and if you compare, it really does make a difference.
so, If anyone wants to use it, go right ahead :D

STD,

Nice going on the addition to the original track. I had originally found the first track and it was on a 12 min long mp3 and I simply cut/paste the best parts and decided the length was about right. I didn't want to make it any longer than necessary simply because it would make the file larger and clients sometimes disconnect if they have to DL too many or big files. I also tested both 128kbps and 112kpbs and found really no difference in quality whilst in-game, so I opted to compile/save as 112kbps to save even more on file size. I've taken your same file and produced a 112kbps version which saved over 600kb and attached it.

c0ld,

I like the newer version, but we both know some may not like it. Also, if you do roll-up the new version, then you are well aware that the name must be different. Is there a way you can roll up both versions but make it so that the admin picks AND only the one picked is DL'ed by clients? Or perhaps even better, make it like the models...so admin can point and use any track he/she whishes? Of course provide both original zombie_ambient.mp3 and zombie_ambient_alt.mp3 in the DL package as I'm sure most people would be hard-pressed to find any better versions ;-)

Good stuff STD! :D

I'll give it a listen and probably add it to my zm server.

One thing I love about this whole mod, and everyone involved: Improvements everyday. :!:
