Realism soundpack v1.0

[Novusordo 0]

Here it is - decent sound for ArmA AT LAST!

Please feel free to donate any high quality sounds you may have lurking in the depths of your harddrive and then maybe I can scrape enough more together make a V2

Install instructions:

----------------------

The first thing to do is to backup the packages we will be editing. To do this, open cpbo.exe and let it associate pbo files with it. Now go to "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\AddOns" and create a new zip file and name it "backup". Hold CTRL and then click on "sounds.pbo" & "weapons.pbo" then drag the two files into the newly created zip file so they are zipped up nice and safe for the future or in the very unlikely event that you prefer Bohemia's shoddy half-arsed attempt on the sound in this magnificent game.

Now right click on "sounds.pbo" and choose "extract". Do the same for "weapons.pbo".

Now extract "1.zip" into "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\AddOns\weapons\Data\Sound" folder and then extract "2.zip" into "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\AddOns\weapons\sound" and finally, extract "3.zip" into "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\AddOns\sounds"

Once all 3 parts of my soundpack have been installed, you need to now re-pack the pbo's so the game engine can use the new sounds. Just go to "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\AddOns" again, and right-click the folder "sounds" and choose "Create PBO" and answer YES to the overwrite prompt. Do the same for the folder "weapons" too.

That's it!

Compatability & Misc:

----------------------

It should be fine with both versions of ArmA and with or without the 1.01 patch.

I'm quite sure this soundpack will be okay with any future patch releases because all the sounds are named the same. Although if the patch contains any sound improvements (which it bloody well needs to) then just replace my soundpack with the original pbo's you backed up before you apply the patch. I will release a compatible version of the soundpack shortly after.

Nice work m8, perhabs u can also add new weapon sound for the "east" side.I think the BF2 ones are not the worst and really better as those we got implemented right now.

I'm a noob on this as I've never opened or done anything else with a pbo file so what do you mean by this? Simply running the cpbo.exe?

[simba 0]

once cpbo is installed , double click on it , and it will extract automatically.

[Novusordo 0]

u dont install cpbo.exe cos it's an inclusive standalone executable.

just run cpbo.exe that comes with the soundpack and answer yes then when u right click pbo files you will see an option to extract or pack them.

Yeah right, rip the sounds out of BF2 and break your BF2 end user license that way by porting them sounds to ArmA.

Nice sound pack mate,

I didn't have the time yet to check if this works.

So anybody got this working or is it buggered?

[the_shadow 0]

Novusordo, maybe you should try to make a "patcher" like sickboy has done..
