Fushko 59 Posted June 11, 2014 Awesome stuff. Dude, you play like me. Same mods, same graphics settings (expect for DOF, causes reticule ghosting), same "try to follow head movement that you see in third person when bandaging" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laxemann 1673 Posted June 11, 2014 Thanks for the motivation, guys! :) Another small feature I threw together today: Unfortunately I have no clue how I could mute all sounds except for the overpressure/ ringing sound - "x fadesound y" mutes the sounds played with "playsound" aswell. ACE did it in ArmA2 and 3 but I have no clue how. The current mod status: The "code framework" works very well but I'm having _serious_ trouble with finding decent sounds for the reverb. So, if you'd like to contribute: What I need are gun reverb sounds... in a very high quality. High quality means: Clearly audible, no disturbing noises like talking, magazine rattling, shot in an appropriate area so that the reverb is rather long, at least 3 seconds - the longer the better. YouTube video links are enough. I really don't care what weapon it is, I can always just modify it or use it for different calibres. That's it for this evening (11pm here in Germany), I'll probably have some new ear candy tomorrow but I can't make any promises. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

enex 11 Posted June 12, 2014 There are two things I like with you: Rather then you promise new videos you are keep producing them and they sound awesome! The other thing is quality of your sounds and dynamic range. I like you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

laxemann 1673 Posted June 12, 2014 When is ACSE coming out!?!?!? :D Recruiting a new programer,... humm,... a few more months of waiting i see.... Nah, he just helped me out with some reverb sounds. So no ACSE delaying because of me, haha! :D // It's my favourite time of day - Update time! One of the biggest issue I had was that the whole soundscape sounded very messy during a firefight, 'think I mentioned that. I'm a lazy bastard but in the end I decided to realize the simple but a bit more work-intensive idea I had from the very beginning: Different reverb sounds depending on distance. Implementing it but mostly editing the respective sounds didn't take half as long as I thought and the result is more than pleasing if you ask me! :) I did something for the ones that like video updates as much as I do, of course. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr death jm 117 Posted June 12, 2014 I like the echo (delay effect) , the reverb sounds a bit long and high pitched. im seeing this is going to be very nice though .. snap when you shoot ................................pop were it lands all we need is a gore mod after this....

The snap is from JSRS, all ES handles is the gun reverb and the gun echo (which isn't the sound of the bullet impact, btw :P) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBigOne_014 16 Posted June 12, 2014 The snap is from JSRS, all ES handles is the gun reverb and the gun echo (which isn't the sound of the bullet impact, btw :P) So it's compatible with other sound mods like SOS, right!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im really impressed with your work so far, this will improve everybodys A3 experience by miles! :cool: Im not a sound-guy, so I dont know if this is what youre looking for: On some of shots you can hear the sound of somebody taking photographs and even the engine noise.

kilroy the nerd 14 Posted June 13, 2014 Just the sound of the reverb, you can already start getting more immersed with it. If this is clientside, I can't wait to hear this stuff while playing MP. Good work, and good luck with improving it Laxemann! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taumargin 13 Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) This is exactly what Arma3 needed imo. :) Just chucking an idea out here. I wonder in future would it be possible for the Arma weapon system designers (we are blessed with them in Arma) to include a dry weapon discharging sound effect, by this I mean removed reverb :D? Therefore creating a more balanced audio picture in LE S enviroment and not having two reverbs... The weapon reverb then the LE S mod reverb. I'm thinking along the lines of what Robalo has done for attachments. By maybe moving a patch file into the addons folder to remove the integrated audio reverb? This is not a criticism but will the reverb/effects be generic or specific to the round/shell type? Thanks ps I'm a great believer in maintaining the dynamic range.

jumpinghubert 49 Posted June 14, 2014 Keep in mind that the audio is extremely compressed/unnatural-sounding. Check out this video that features full dynamic range: versus this one that does not: this comparison is extremly useful to keep in mind 99% of youtube sources are microphone-limited! It would be interesting where the position of the micro is. Seems a little bit far away to avoid distortion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harzach 2516 Posted June 14, 2014 It would be interesting where the position of the micro is. Seems a little bit far away to avoid distortion. The annotation says it is not in the same position as the camera, but the relative distance from the vehicles is similar. At @3:30 the camera moves to the mic position, then at @4:30 they go back to the original camera position and use a different mic there. *edit* - it seems to me that YouTube is suddenly doing strange things to the audio of the first (full range) link - is anyone else getting dropouts?

taumargin 13 Posted June 14, 2014 The second mic sounds like a internal video camera with little or no wind shield and has totally different microphone characteristics to the first. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpinghubert 49 Posted June 14, 2014 The second mic sounds like a internal video camera with little or no wind shield and has totally different microphone characteristics to the first. :p yes, thats the difference between cheap inbuild microphones of smartphones/cameras with high distortion and not linear frequency response versus expensive microphones with high dynamic range and linear frequency response. Good microphones are VERY expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
