Hey, I don't ean to offend or nothing, but I've noticed plenty of the sfx used in esf are rather low-level as far as quality is concerned. Some are pristine, but others are scratchy, others innaccurate (I dunno what game or episode you found your power-up sound effect, but I've never heard it in DBZ).
I know you have to use pretty much the lowest quality format (2-something khtz at 8bit mono) for the Half-Life Engine, but I know this hardly effects quality to a noticable degree if your sound effects are already very clean.
I've been searching for DBZ SFX for years, and finally with the coming of the Budokai Games, I decided it was the opportuniy to do it myself.
First I tried using a microphone next to my TV's speaker (did okay, but not good enough).
Finally, I bought an audio capture device which I used to record game audio straight from the audio source (audio/video cables from my PS2).
The sound effects I have are the best possible quality, though I wish I could have eliminated entirely the vocals ingame which would give me access to numerous other sfx.
I've found I can easily replace the powerup effect, the teleport effect (that current one in game just annoys me), increase the quality of the normal energy blasts, and deliver all sorts of effects. If you're at all interested I have no problem sending samples of them in a zip file.
I'd love to give these to any DBZ mod trying for greatness. It's been too long that I've heard on the Internet that "DBZ sound effects don't exist". It should end here with these!
I look forward to your reply.
