Gae already has that so you could probably look at the code it uses

Okay, I started on the sounds for the Ibis.  I've got maybe about half of them done.  I'm keeping a copy of the clean version of each recording (except the two I lost) in *.ogg format, along with a copy of the modified sound in *.ogg format, and the *.aup file for further editing.

The effects I'm using are as follows:
1. Record the sound
2. Noise removal
3. Duplicate the sound into two additional tracks
4. Track 1 - lower pitch by 25%
5. Track 2 - lower pitch by 35% and increase speed by 3%
6. Track 3 - lower pitch by 50%
7. Truncate silence

The final product is a bit like the Goa'uld from Stargate, but not quite.  The multiple pitches lend a sort of unearthly quality to the sound, and the speed modification puts just a little bit of offset to it (enough that it sounds a little bizarre, but not enough to separate it into two different sounds).  I'll try to get the rest done within the next few days.

Sorry for double post.
I see you updated it... too bad it's not in a standalone...
I'll post a video showing your Egyptians. I'm converting it right now...
Not much as usual, but some. (my video)  :)
Icons are nice.

If you record them in Audacity as an .ogg file, it should play fine.  That's been my experience, anyway.

NO NO it is the attack sound, it uses .wav right?

The original Magitech sounds are .wav, but .ogg works too.  I've tested it and I know this to be a fact.

Ok this is really offtopic here so please stop this:

Nevertheless, here is how to fix it:
In audacity when you say export as .... a file browser comes up for the filename. At the bottom you can see a big "Options" button.
Press it and select
Wav (Microsoft 16 bit PCM)
I think this will work. If it does't please open our own topic to discuss the problem.

I still think this is a great faction, but the bad thing about Egyptians is that they have lots of splash...  :-\

The current version in megaglest has shots with less splash. But, if you attack with 20 priests its still there, but I like it!  ;D

how should I change it? Should I lower the attack strength? Slowing down the attack itself doesn't look good in my opinion.

well the bird has a splash so it gives lots of damage, maby give it a bit les health.
Also the thor is un-fair because you make 6 to 10 of them and your unbeatable, not so much the ground attack as the air is to strong.
LIke a walking air-balsa / battle-machine / catapult, and it only costs about 90 wood, 250 stone, and 250 gold.

Maybe raise the Gold cost by 100 and the Stone by 50?
