I tried running it but it just crashes the game on launch for me. Tried to disable all my mods to see if its conflicting with anything but the game just won't with the mod in my mods folder.
I've tested all sound mods, and can tell yours is the best by far. It's THE ONLY ONE which puts the player inside the cockpit. All other mods, despite being brilliant, are better suited for those who play in 3rd person, IMO. Moreover, it's the only mod without the irritating "sound that attenuates other" issue. With all other mods, including vanilla, there's this things: if an explosion occurs, footsteps vanish, if Betty starts bitching, and a radio message comes, Betty vanishes (these are just examples, thing is a sound interfere on another). But you managed to completely eliminate this problem, and every sound has its space, without interference. If you had the time and patience to update for DLC, and give a little more punch and bass to pulse lasers... Anyways, thx a lot.
Hi, I'm downloading the updated .03 version now.. there are a few things I wanted to nitpick about .02: - I love most of the sounds, except maybe lasers. It sounds industrial, punchy and uh.. laserey, but I would personally tone down the machine drone like effect a little bit. Best sound by far is PPC, sounds like thunder, and autocannons sounds like a remixed version of MW3's ACs. Awesome. - Voices are drowned out, I have max settings on voice audio and I still have a hard time listening. - Not compatible with music mods I've tested. The sounds are totally muted when pairing the game up with Tim's music tracks. - Mech footsetps are also drowned out. - This might be a bug, but I've noticed that when a sound is being reproduced inside the cockpit and you switch to external view, the muffled cockip version will still play. Same thing happens vice versa. - Overall the mod sounds good, but it needs definition. Everything sounds wishy washy. - Is it possible to fix the crummy machinegun audio cut? This is all PGI, but could it be possible to make machinegun fire not instantly cut out when letting go of the mouse button? I feel like pulling my hair out when that happens.
hey man thanks for the great feedback, let me know how you get on with 03. I think a few of the issues you were describing should be better. including a remastered machinegun :)
So, .03... loving the new PPC, from far away it's just pure thunder, from near it sounds like an electric arc going off. This is one of the best aspects of the mod, so many different sounds depending on where you're standing. Also loving the fly-by sound of shells. The transition from cockpit to third person is a lot better. My only "gripe" (if you can call it that), is that the sounds may be "too realistic". I know the objective was to achieve that, but I get the sense a lot of the sounds lack "personality", like distinctiveness. Take MW2 mercs autocannon, one of my personal favorites with that almost singing barrel noise (which I noticed you sneaked into the Sniper weapon), or the gauss rifle which sounds more like an old science fiction laser gun (not my taste tbh). Both these sounds are very distinctive. What they lack is the punchy realism that you have nailed down so perfectly. This is all just a matter of personal taste, and the mod is by far the best sound mod out there.
I'll keep playing and writing down things that come up. You've got a loyal follower :)
Hey again dude, thanks so much for the awesome feedback I'm definitely not done yet hehe! I'm hoping to get another mix tweak up by the weekend and then I'm hoping to move on to more detail sounds such as reloads and material destruction.
Glad your enjoying the mod, I'm finally starting to play the game a bit myself haha!
I'm managing to get the mix clearer and clearer with each update, once I get that nailed ill have a think about bringing some more character to things :)

Thx.
(Crashing message at launch, see bug report.)
I know you probably have a lot going on, but do you have any plans to continue this mod in the future?
