Where can I find sound effects for a game I make? Mostly sword clashes, arrows flying, hitting armors etc etc. Medieval stuff.
I googled and found some, but if anybody knows a site which has these kind of things it will save me some trouble.
I would prefer uncompressed .wav files.
The format shouldn't worry you, and since this is probably for a game I'd suggest some sort of compressed "open source" codec like ogg vorbis.
Basically anything under a non-restrictive licence or in the public domain such as those at http://www.archive.org/details/opensource_audio . However some sounds do not list a licence, that does not mean you can use them freely.
Personally I prefer .wav instead of ogg, since it doesnt require any significant decoding to put it into the DirectSound buffer.
I was using .NET SoundPlayer that requires .wav format, uncompressed if I understand correctly.
Uncompressed wavs can be huge. At the very least I would use RLE to compress them a bit. It won't buy you much but it will help.
