Hey guys,
I was recently wandering about the BM game files, and I stumbled upon a folder called “mantis” in sound/npc which consists of only one sound file. I do not recall such a NPC, neither hearing such sound throughout my two playthroughs, or seeing any mantis at all. It’s called “Mantis_fly” Any idea what it is? I can’t attach it because it’s in a wrong format, but as long as you have BM you can find it in SteamApps/sourcemods/BMS/sound/npc/mantis.
EDIT: Confirmed. Here’s from a Let’s Play of the game. Listen closely as the doors open and the manta flies by.
Oh, okay but why is it called “mantis” then?
That’s true! It’s a manta, not a mantis!
Maybe it was just a typo, or someone (momentarily, at least) confused the two.
It’s a shame that you have to “listen closely” to hear most of the sounds in this game… while they are very well done
I believe they are improving the audio quality.
Thanks for sharing information.
