The old thread from October 2010 will get locked, since it's pretty saturated with posts... and we'll move forward with this one!  :)  BTW... just because people request for me to do these doesn't mean YOU can't.  I mean, fonts are about having FUN, so... do as you will!

Please, please, please... before posting and/or de-railing things:

* Be specific, and see the very bottom of this post... HELP me help YOU... lol  (links, sounds, specifics, etc.)
* Don't just post to say "wow, I'd love to hear the [already mentioned in a list] font"... it will muddy up the thread and I'll get overwhelmed & confused
* Be patient, I'm not a miracle worker.  Doing a single font "really well" (at least for me / my efforts) takes at least a month
* CHECK TO SEE IF THE FONT YOU WANT is basically "already done"!  There is the sound font archive + my website with names/descriptions.  Please... please?!?!  :)

Ok... so... THIS IS WHAT I'M HEARING FROM THE CROWD (and it's a lot)... just cleaning up all the individual responses and all that...

Ones that I think are "possible", or do-able:

* KOTOR I & II fonts... I haven't played #2, but I will assume the sounds are different/expanded vs. the first one.  I will say... I was never keen on the limited sounds they had for #1, although the hum was nice.  Just my opinion though.  :)
* Clone Wars (I think everyone is in love with the Dooku poweron, but otherwise... same stuff here)
   to some extent, I've got a little bit of this, due to the "Sister of Shadows" font...
* He-Man ~DONE~ (the old-school, 80's cartoon version)
* Transformers  (barely doable!!  maybe it could work... MAYbe)
* Gundam Fighter
* Steel Sword MINUS THE WIND SOUNDS, so NO we don't mean to ignore CD#1
* Flame Sword ~DONE~ one that is different from the Phoenix Pyre one, on CD#3
* Knight-Rider  -- it'll still be tough!
* Elemental: Ice  ~DONE~ CD#3
* Elemental: Earth ~DONE~ CD#3
* Thundaar the Barber  (just teasin')
* Robotech  (yup, I threw that in myself, hahaha... don't know if it would be possible)
* Speed Racer / motors revving
* Yoda ~DONE~  ... .... .... and two versions of it, too!!
* Tron ... both the "oldschool" and "Tron Legacy" I hope...
* Video Game Font ... this one is still plaguing me, it's hard to know what to add
* Satori Zen "darkside" (maybe Satori SIN, lol)
* Blue Harvest / Family Guy (Watto has started something up for that!!)
* Simpsons (although it's not much of a "sword type" thing)
* Thumb Wars (???)  Idk what this is...
* Matrix

OTHER THINGS THAT ARE DONE (stop asking please):

ICE SWORD (Elemental Ice) = CD3
ELECTROSTAFF = CD1 (also as 'NecroVolt' for a different type of sound)
LIGHTWHIP = CD2
BLACK LIGHTSABER (Obsidian Flamberge) = CD3
WHIP FONT (Indiana Jones) = CD1
HALO STYLE SOUND (Plasma Blade/Sword) = CD2
VIBROBLADE (ResBlade) = CD2
USE YOUR MOUTH (Mystery Font) = CD2
FIRE SWORD (Phoenix Pyre, CD1 ... Iron Inferno, CD3)
STEEL SWORD (Steel Sword, CD1 ... He-Man / CF-Man, CD3)
MARTIAL ARTS (Kung Fu, CD1... Prize Fighter, CD3)
RAINFALL ON SABER BLADE (Rain Sizzle, CD2)
CHAINWHIP = CD3

GHOSTBUSTERS
HE-MAN
GREVIOUS
YODA
ASSAJ VENTRESS ... all on CD3

* EDIT: Dr. Who... notes from PhoenixJedi = "Doctor who is easily doable. The Sonic Screwdriver has many different frequencies, and the clashes could be it interacting with different things. Hum = standard sonic, swings = hum pitched up and down. clashes: sonic screwdriver interaction with other devices. blaster: a blaster shutdown sound. Lockup: two sonics interacting (earsplitting sound)"  EDIT:  PhoenixJedi completed this font, so... that's good!!  No need for a 2nd one...

Ones that I think are more "one or two sound(s) is/are cool, the rest would be tough to have make sense":

* ADDED: The "cave scene" from ESB... I guess a slow-motion font (suggested by The_Night)
* ADDED: Jay & Silent Bob... you guys know what "sword" we're talking about... and it DOES have a "hinted to" homage in my Elemental: H2O font... ;)
* Captain CAVEman???
* Spaceballs
* Star Trek
* Matrix
* Thundercats -- Sword of Omens
* Voltron (as much as I'd like to do this one... it'd be pretty darn tough)
* Duke Nukem (doesn't really fit a "sword", but good for fun insults!!!!!)  LOVE DUKE!!!
* Back to The Future (I love it, but... really?  Only so much for a sword prop)

Ones I don't have enough knowledge about:

* Doctor Who (Huh I need to study this more to find out)
* Cowboy Bebop (but Xanthus may have already done this font)
* Battlestar Galactica (TOS)
* Power Rangers (I know what they are, I just don't know if a font could be made... it might be more like the 'one-sound wonder' thing with 'it's morphin time')

Now this does not guarantee ANYTHING on future CDs... but I'm trying to stay open to ideas and ways to make it happen when it comes to 8 swings, 8 clashes, 1 hum, 1 lockup, 2 force sounds, 4 blasters, 5 poweron, and 2 poweroff sounds.

Some IMPORTANT things you can do to help me:

~ Send me samples/videos/audio clips of a font you want to see completed
~ Give me general ideas of which sound would be for what action (i.e. swing, clash, poweron)
~ THINK FIRST before just randomly suggesting a font... some of them simply "don't fit right" in a sword type prop meant for motion...
~ Also... sad as it may be... certain sword props/things in certain cartoons... well, even though they might be "well known"... they don't always have SPECIFIC sounds.  The Sword of Omens is an example.  Instead, we have a lot of visuals and Lion-O yapping at it to "come to him" or "grant these supercats wisdom!" or what not, hehhehe.  It doesn't mean it's IMpossible... only that... we really have to think hard on how to make it work and not just be another steel sword set with simply a different power on and a few "extras".  Know what I mean?

i posted earlier the idea of one based off the cave scene from ESB. just kind of the slow motion version like they had in the movie. You could throw in vaders helmet exploding as one of the force sounds or something. And maybe a yoda quote or two, "Your weapons... you will not need them" etc.

&feature=related

not sure if thats the re-edited or original. i know they re did the sounds for the dvd release though

Novastar,

Thank you for this thread.

I would like to hear a Steampunk font - without the clock ticking sounds.
Saw the response below - sorry - I thought perhaps that other fonts could be modded...
The idea of an alternately powered lightsaber, that uses steam, is intriguing...

Respectfully,

John W

* Just because a font is "on the list" doesn't mean it's magically "off limits" for others to make!!  :)  It's totally up to you.  I do not own the rights to attempting fonts, lol!!!
* A Steampunk font was already made be Eastern57 (CD#2) ... but again, the above "counts" here--you could make your own if you so wish
* The Gundam font idea is already in the list... so PLEASE, PLEASE PLLLEEEEAAASSEE READ THE INITIAL THREAD FIRST BEFORE posting
* Duke Nukem and Voltron are already in the list... so PLEASE, PLEASE PLLLEEEEAAASSEE READ THE INITIAL THREAD FIRST BEFORE posting
* Please don't "confirm" that you'd like to see a font that is already listed, since... we'll just spam the thread with "Yeah, I like the idea of font ______, good idea"... "Yes, yes!! please a _______ font!"  and "Oh boy, i'm very excited, I agree with the four previous posts to have font _________!!!!"

Thank you, guys...

Alright, I've got one that isn't on the list already.

A Final Fantasy font, it should be reasonably simple to do with the various iterations of the games to date, I may try to make one using the SNES era games only after I learn the software

Since most weapon types have different hit effect sounds, you get a good variety of clashes and potentially blaster blocks as well
Could work in an easter egg ala the G-Busters font with the victory fanfare, power on could be something like the press start sound

not entirely sure about the hum, but there are plenty of things to work with.

Thoughts?

Beavis and Butthead.   ;D  If I had any know-how I'd do this myself, but I don't so I don't, but is something I've always wanted to see!

Boot-up sound is Butthead saying "this is the coolest thing I've ever seen"
Blaster deflect sound is Beavis saying "Fire!"
Clash sounds are beavis saying "Boing" and some others  ;)
Hum is Beavis doing his jibberish before saying "I am cornholio!"
Ignition sound is Beavis or Butthead going "Wo-ooaaaah!"
Force sound is Beavis asking "Are you threatening me??", Butthead doing his laugh

 ;D ;D

Nova,

Is there an accurate Vader ROTJ yet floating around somewhere?  I have not yet seen one.

To me, it sounded a bit different than Empire or ANH but maybe someone with better audio can clarify if it was just my ears.
