Need a PLAY code... (read to find out which one)

Patz QuickBASIC Creations · Post by **Patz QuickBASIC Creations** » Wed Oct 12, 2005 5:52 pm

I could probably find it, but I'm too lazy...

What is the string needed for the PLAY command to play the death sound?(the one you always hear at the end of old video games)

I dunno, But I made this in BA-SIC MU-SIC II:

Code: Select all

L16 N7 N6 N5 N4 N3 N2 N1 N2 N1 N2 N1 N2 N1

I have no IDEA what you are talking about...

It's probably played using the SOUND command, seeing as (if I know the noise you're thinking about) it's not a musical note, its a

BLIIRRUUUUHH

style noise.

Experiment with

for i = 50 to 18 step -1
sound i, <milisecond value>
next i

and you'll probably come up with it.

Prepare to be suprised... It's not there.
Duh-(faster)duh-duh-(slightley slower)duh-(faster)duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh
I wish my computer had a microphone! I'd record it, give you a link, and THEN you'd know what I'm talking about!

EDIT: It starts with this tidbit of code:

Code: Select all

thisismysoundtidbit$ = "L2CL4CCL3C"
Play thisismysoundtidbit$

sorry, but my laptop has no internal speaker...

thisismysoundtidbit$ = "L2CL4CCL3C"

Going by your "duh-duh" description of it, I'd say the code is

play "L2 C L4 CC L3 C L5 CCCCCCC"

Hahahaha. Very funny. Any other takers?

Dude, get a recording of the sound.

Get a tape recorder, record the sound, go to a cyber cafe/friends house/rent a recording studio of 30 seconds, record the sound into a wav file, then stick it up here.

Go a little out of your way (I'm not saying buy a new computer w/a microphone), and we'll be able to help.

or you could just MAKE a microphone...

What game is the sound from? -This might work

Patz QuickBASIC Creations · Post by **Patz QuickBASIC Creations** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 4:06 pm

Old games in general... But I'll try to find it myself, searching old games until I find it

Shit! Yeah, I forgot!

Dude, plug your speaker/walkman headphones into the microphone jack...

the sensitivity might be lower, but it does work (and microphones work as speakers aswel if you don't beleive me, it's easier to test that)

I'm reviving the dead!!!

I recently remembered one game I heard it in!
Anyone remember the King's Quest series? Whenever you died, you would hear that music that I want! I need the PLAY code for it! I MUST HAVE IT! (starts foaming at the mouth)

Is this the sound you're looking for?

wawawawawaaaaa.wav

I found it on Google. I can't give you the PLAY code for it, but maybe someone else can now that they've heard it (if it's the right sound, that is).
