Return of Custom Sounds

[Minion of Set]

Since some people are a bit upset about the custom sounds being removed on our servers, I'm making this poll to see if anyone wants them back. Why they were removed, I'm not entirely sure, but it might have been under the premise no one used them, which was not true.

Here are reasons as to why I believed it was removed:

• People don't use the sounds as much as it was used previously.
• Some Staff members would overlap the sounds and we would get complaints
• When someone's trading or an Admin is talking about something important, someone plays a sound to make it hard to hear them

In my opinion, sounds were part of what made TF2SS, but if we continue to no longer have sounds anymore, it could lead us in the right direction.

Blood, the second one we could make a rule about not spamming the sounds like that, and for the last one, that's what public chat is for. The sounds made gameplay on our servers a bit more enjoyable and comical, now it just seems like it lost something.

I agree, there's always a solution for every option. Although I found it fun, to stack the sounds and some other admins as well, it did get annoying. Too loud and would end up causing problems. Everyone does miss the sounds though, without them it just seems boring now.

To my knowledge a major problem with sounds is the amount of time it takes a player to download them. A player joining for the first time may not wish to sit through an X amount of time because their internet is slow just to play on a server and thus we lose new players. They may also be concerned with what files they are downloading and if they are malicious in some form. Granted none of them are, but always remember to look at situations through player's eyes.

I'm a bit shaky on the subject. I implemented my song in Freeze's Towers with a play only once feature. Therefore, a new round or server restart is required if the song is to repeat. One person once suggested a five hour wait period. There are certainly options.
