Cyborg Jump & Weapon Swap Sound Replacement
I always liked being the cyborg characters better (you can choose your character in options -> multiplayer -> player configuration..., and it effects singleplayer, too), but the noise they make when they jump is this awful distorted hiss that hurts my ears. So about seven years ago or so (prior to upload) I grunted into a microphone a few times and modulated the best clip until it sounded close enough to the rest of the character's sounds but significantly easier on the ears. I only thought to upload it publicly today.
I also changed the weapon swap sound added by the Re-Release to a much more gentle "swoosh" sound similar to the hand grenade throw noise rather than the "swinging a whole car around like it's a baseball bat" effect that somehow passed through Nightdive's QA team without objection.
I know it's bad form to make these inseparable, so if anyone asks for them, I will upload one or both as individual .paks.
Installation
Put pak1.pak into \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Quake 2\rerelease\baseq2\. If you already have a pak1.pak, pak2.pak, etc. increase the number by 1 until it is unique.
Contents
pak1.pak - Stygian Emperor's custom sound files, replacing the cyborg player's jump grunt (less harsh - a modulated recording of my own voice) and the player weapon switch noise (a softer, quicker "swoosh" sound).
Compatibility
This is intended for the Quake 2 Re-Release, but you can use the preview link above to download the replacement jump1.wav and put it in \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Quake 2\baseq2\players\cyborg\ for the old Steam release. (The old release does not have a change.wav)
