Missed attack sound

[BRUTAL]

Does anyone know the path of the sound that is played when an attack is missed? For example when a melee unit attempts to attack, but all you hear the sound of the swinging action.

i believe the attack path is all 1 depending on which type of attack it is... IE: metal slash attack type plays the metal slash when a unit attacks but a miss sound when it misses, so it could be all 1 string of audio files that you can replace with one like it but a different miss sound

I'm a bit confused by what you mean by "all 1," are you suggesting that the miss sound is a part of the attack sound for a certain attack type?

like just 1 mp3 file, and it plays a different part of it depending on what happens in the fight, iv seen it in other games and it might be like that in wc3 but im not 100% positive

The reason I am not thinking that to be the case is because, in the sound editor when you play a sound (for example an attack sound), I would believe that what gets played is the whole wav file (the sounds are wav's, not mp3's if i recall correctly).

 

[GFreak45]

have you gone through each wav file and listened to the sound, and is it possible that there is no wav for misses since it plays basically no sound?

I was hoping I could avoid that method of identifying it, going through each sound in the editor seems extremely tedious.
How can it "basically" not play a sound? lol
The fact that you hear the sound, should be an indicator that you can find it somewhere; I guess it's just hidden very well.

I don't think there is a missed attack sound...

You are partially right, there is no distinct miss sound that exists in the game.
But your simplistic response inspired me with an idea - and I just found out that my hunch was correct - the "miss" sound is actually the swinging sound, ergo it is part of the units animation.
I believe the sound is extractable though, if only magos editor worked for me so i could check.
At least people can know now, if there was nothing on the forum to answer this question.

i rarely play with the sound on, or in games where you are in 1 on 1 combat with another unit so you cant usually hear a miss over the loud clangs anway, i didnt know if there was even a sound that actually played or if it was just silence when contact wasnt made
