Cool idea,

just curious how you plan on achieving this, are you feeding the in game sounds through an external software fx?

Armas audio engine always had me puzzled, heh.

I will explain the design in a few hours (once I get off work).

It's mostly implemented, and sounds AMAZING. I've never heard a firefight sound as intense as this in any game.

I'm excited now zooloo75 and BTW welcome back , your absence was noticed.

Uuuh, keeping the expectations high - I'm hyped :D

[zooloo75 834]

Alrighty, so here's the design:

I am mimicking Convolution reverb using only scripting. The idea is that when a weapon is fired, the sound wave bounces off nearby buildings and other objects.

In urban areas, the effect is most noticeable. The listener fires his weapon and can hear his shot reverberate off of buildings and may even notice a delay of the reverb (effected by distance).

Working within the limitations of the engine, the effect is still very believable, although this isn't true Convolution reverb, it is exceptional.

I will be posting a video within the next couple of hours.

Ah, so the same thing I did in Enhanced Soundscape?

(The sounds were reworked by now)

I like your sounds, btw :)

Nice! I've been out of the ArmA scene for quite some time, was completely unaware of your mod, very cool!

[General_Graym 10]

good stuff man. that sound when firing in the open woods is AMAZING.

[zooloo75 834]

Tested this with JSRS Dragonfyre, and it sounds epic!

[froggyluv 2136]

Jesus that reverb sounds amazing. Good to see you back in action, big fan of all your stuff.

Dragonfyre has the same feature included, I built it in xP :D

What does it sound like with JSRS already having it built it? Interested to see how many reverberations will happen with them both on lol

JSRS already has a good reverb system in-place. There are some details in Impulse that definitely add on to JSRS. But putting JSRS aside, Impulse would work well for other sound mods as well that are lacking a reverb system. I'm hoping sound modders will have dryer sounds in the future.

Already know that, also you have that Enhanced Soundscape mod, its not the same?

If Dragonfyre has this included, i already use L-ES mod. and now this one is cool too.. what are the conflicts between 'em?

ON: Videos sounds quite epic! GJ! gonna polay with this asap!

Hey just had a quick fire fight in Kunduz with this :cool: I made a few observations.

I wonder if it's possible at all to lessen/soften the initial transients of the reverb/impulse response or change the envelope with a transient designer? The problem I encountered was that the high frequency beginning of the reverb was more prominent (almost hihat like) than the weapon/closure sound effects.

The second thing I noticed was that my frame rate dropped about 20fps :( when held on full auto. Then returns to normal one trigger is released. This was at it's worse in urban areas, I was using SOS Pure at the time and this doesn't happen normally? So maybe the two are conflicting I don't know?

- The last thing when firing next to bushes the reverb effect diminishes often completely

A great concept though I like the idea a lot and look forward to seeing this develop. :cool:

The thing is that ES (partially included in DFyre) does the same, so you'll end up having two sounds for the same thing, resulting in overlapping and hard limiting because it reaches the max volume very fast.

So you have to chose one :(
