soundmod JSRS4 - APEX 1.2

[haleks 8212]

The only other thing LJ is the lightening strikes, they are just your normal explosion sounds. It is kind of odd seeing Zeus set off a lightening strike only for it to make the same sound as a grenade exploding. A proper lightening strike crack sound would be good.

 

I can confirm this. Unless things have changed thunder is tied to the destruction sound of the "LightningBolt" vehicle : the game spawns it and then setDamage to 1 to destroy it, wich produces the sound.

I can't test it right now, but disabling the dragonfyre_c_explosions.pbo should fix it (at the price of hearing vanilla kabooms again).

I swear this is gonna follow me in hell :X I hate these Lightning problems. I have them since A2. I added new sounds for Thunder, Light, Heavy, Near and far. Not sure what the game does there but apparently its not what I had in mind.

I'll wait for BIS to release their next big sound update and then update JSRS as well.

JSRS studio website is down

JSRS studio website is down

 

Are.... you telling me? The one who owned the site? :P

 

I know, we got attacked and data went down the toilet. So we start from scratch with the site eventually.

 

Noticed the DevBuild is having no JSRS weapon sounds anymore when being applied. Seems they switched the way sounds get addressed somehow :X

Is there a way to lower the sound of bullet fly by's or bullet cracks ( not sure how its called )? 

 

For some reason they are way too loud for me. I'm kind of scared of going deaf ;)

Hello LJ.

 

Kids have been doing bad things huh..

 

Any way to get a hold of the Server key during JSRS-studios downtime? Armaholic apparently doesn't seem to offer the key separately and I haven't checked PWS (and don't have the intention).

[denco 16]

Not only you :)

I deleted the soundcracks.pbo from the addons folder and it's alot better.

[khaosmatical 237]

Hey Jarhead, I noticed when using this mod combined with TF47 Launchers there seems to be a odd error where the spotting rifle on the SMAW Launcher whenever it hits an object it makes an explosion impact sound rather than a standard bullet impact sound. This doesn't seem to occur when not using the soundmod.

Got any idea why/if that is possible to fix with JSRS? It's really confusing when firing a spotting round then hearing an explosion.

I'd say similar to the response to someone with that issue but with the RHS spotting rounds, there just isn't support for it.

I'm sure if you were keen enough you could go through TF47 config and fix it up without too much stress, however, until then, either remove the explosions.pbo or enjoy explosive spotting rounds :P

This post is for LJ. Some thoughts for you...

I think you could really improve the sound of movement simulation of soldier in DragonFyre. 

Unfortunately, today the player has only one sound of movement, regardless of the current ammunition and current weight. 

It would be great if you during the sprint and running of player character added the shaking ammunition sound in his backpack with ammo!

Imagine, if a soldier carries in his backpack ammo, mines, explosives, rockets, tools, and etc. During the sprint or running it should be heard?

Of course Yes!  Such a feature would be very cool, because DragonFyre would help the player better feel carried weight on the back.

Such features in any mod no exist, but you, as seems to me can make this.

 

For example, some fighters who could have the sound of a large weight, it is the - ammo bearer, explosive specialist, missile specialist, AT-soldier, engineer, etc. I don't know exact how to do it technically, but probably you can link the sound to specific items inside player's backpack.

You just think, how this feature would improve your mod! :)

[Bamse 223]

That would require scripting and JSRS Eden is made to be completely script-less.

[ineptaphid 6413]

And i think we all want it to stay scriptless-for no framerate impact. I was curious about the sound from JSRS2 that you made when walking on rubble from destroyed buildings-that seems to be gone now.Is that due to needing scripting also?

The only reason I'm confused is because this doesn't occur in the vanilla game sounds and doesn't JSRS just replace the vanilla ones where wanted? Unless Jarhead has configured something like launchers only make certain sounds as technically the spotting rifle is a launcher?

I dunai, we'll have to wait and see I guiss.

Unfortunately this sound has never been in DragonFyre, at least I haven't heard it ever. I miss that sound.

[paramedic 22]

I like your work and I'm looking forward to the RHS integration.

[milosv123344 37]

Ofc i hope the RHS integration comes with your own sounds because RHS seems to use something that doesn't really sound like a weapon, more like a blunt punch ...

Hello, LordJarhead! Your sound mod is great! I cannot play arma3 without it now!

 

I noticed that the JSRS 3 Eden mod uses BI's wss format for sound files. wss format is not a well-compressed format, even small explosion sounds can be nearly 1 mb big, and it takes a lot of time to read 1 mb file from non-SSD hard disk. When a sound is played at the first time after game launch, the sound often has some "lag" and disturbs the immersion. And some time the game would go into a complete freeze state if too many sounds are played for the first time simultaneously (for example, the first time after a game launch you fire an AT at an APC, you'll have AT firing sound, rocket flying sound, rocket exploding sound, APC exploding sound all in need to be played almost simultaneously). The engine freezes about 0.5-1.5 seconds to read all required sound from hard disk, and such freezing does disturb my arma3 experience.

 

May I request an ogg version of JSRS 3 Eden mod? Since ogg is a much better compressed file format than wss. And dispite highly compressed, ogg file format preserves the sound pretty well. In the Eden 1.2 version, all dragonfyre_p_* pbos together are 5 GB in size, however, after some personally efforts converting all wss sound files to ogg files, all dragonfyre_p_* pbos together are only 417 MB in size. It took me some time to learn to write a bat to convert those sounds, and another some hours to get all those configs files (".wss" => ".ogg") done. And after all the effort, Really important is, the lag/freezing thing is gone.

 

Well. However, the official WSS decoder cannot convert stereo wss files correctly, so some of the converted sound are sounding kind of wierd. I humbly hope that you can make an official ogg version of JSRS, so that people who don't have SSDs on their rig may better enjoy the fine sounds of JSRS too.

 

Heres the config files that have been finished edited, feel free to use if they would help with the making of official ogg version.

Thank you very much, LordJarhead. Love your mod!

I swear this is gonna follow me in hell :X I hate these Lightning problems. I have them since A2. I added new sounds for Thunder, Light, Heavy, Near and far. Not sure what the game does there but apparently its not what I had in mind.

I'll wait for BIS to release their next big sound update and then update JSRS as well.

Just looked into the sqf code of Zeus Lightning and had some discovery:

	//--- Play sound (tied to the explosion effect)
	if (local _logic || {local _x} count (objectcurators _logic) > 0) then { //--- ToDo: Find out why 'local' returns false
		_bolt = createvehicle ["LightningBolt",_pos,[],0,"can collide"];
		_bolt setposatl _pos;
		_bolt setdamage 1;
	};

So basically, the Zeus Lightning module actually creates a "LightningBolt" ammo and detonates it to cause the sound and damage. And after some look up in BIS config viewer, in "CfgAmmo" part, the ammo type "LightningBolt" inherits from ["ShellBase","ShellCore","Default"], so it will inherits this

SoundSetExplosion[] = {"DFyre_Shell_Exp_SoundSet","DFyre_Shell_Tail_SoundSet","DFyre_Explosion_Big_Debris_SoundSet"};

from "ShellBase", which is defined in dragonfyre_c_explosions\config.cpp.

 

So basically, adding some lines to dragonfyre_c_explosions\config.cpp should be fixing the problem.

	class LightningBolt: ShellBase
	{
		SoundSetExplosion[] = {};
	};

Similiarly, the RHS & TF47 SMAW spotting rounds should be fixed if added such lines (For RHS, eg):

	class rhs_ammo_smaw_SR: RocketBase
	{
		SoundSetExplosion[] = {};
	};

I'll go testing them out and see if the solution really works. If it does and LordJarhead allows me to do it, I'll be happy to upload & share my fix patch for the temporary use, before LJ officially fixes them (oh my, can't wait for JSRS: RHS updates, lol).

 

Edit: The solution works! The unwanted sounds are gone! For both Zeus lightnings and SMAW spotting rounds!

 

Nice!

Would be great to test a fix before the next update.

Thanks for the heads up. The link of ogg configs has been hidden. Didn't notice "nd".

 

As for the patches, both of them do not derive from LordJarhead's works (scripts or sounds), and are absolutely my work, so let me keep them there for the good use.
