Custom Duel Sounds

First attempt at some Custom Sounds.

Installation:
1:Rename your "DuelSounds" folder (c:\magic\DuelSounds to c:\magic\DuelSounds Backup) to backup your old sounds
2:Download DuelSounds.rar (~9MB)
3:After unzipping the .RAR archive move the folder "DuelSounds" to your gamefolder (c:\magic\DuelSounds)
(the soundfiles should be in there now -> c:\magic\DuelSounds\attack2.wav)
4:turn down your boxes and enjoy the game

Let me know if you dislike any sounds and want them to be replaced.
I´d also like to know if the sound volume is alright for you - and if not should i increase or decrease the volume ?

This pack has a "tribal" feeling that is nice for a change, though some effect are a bit too "soft" imo (though it's just me but the roar when you damage an opponement might not be appropriate if your creature are not lions

).
The sound volume is ok but the deck edit which seems a bit high.
Btw is it possible to add new sound to specific cards? Seems to be some have special sound (Arabian night cards like Bazaar...), Kalastria Highborn has also a special attack sound when ability is triggered that I ever heard of.

i´ve lowered the sound volume quite a bit on purpose. it´s always been annoying if you play music in the background and the gamesounds are louder than the music - so i slightly lowered the volume of the sounds(-10db).

afaik the "special card sounds" are hardcoded -> Astral Cards (Aswan Jaguar etc.)
without help of a coder there is nothing we could do.

let me check a couple alternate sounds for attacking ... but the possibilities are very limited. First version had a "sword sound" for example, but that seemed inapropiate for most creatures. No clue what sound could be used for all sorts of creatures - the rawr was the best i could come up with so far.
Maybe you got an idea.

i also had a lot of nice "whispering" for summoning - like 12 different versions of gibberish - but that seemed to have been too annoying when you hear it like 5 times/turn - so i went for something "calmer".

hmm i haven´t changed the deckedit sounds on purpose. the coders must have been lazy and used the same sounds there. i´ve tested this quite excessive - my deckeditor got all sounds muted though so no wonder i didn´t hear a difference ^^

thanks for the input.
