Quote[/b] ]Extract the patched weapons.pbo and put the new .wss files in:

\weapons\Data\Sound\

Silly question but what program but i use to extract the weapon.pdo?

[-Puma- 2]

err how to u DL the file??? It says get premium account for xxx dollars or wait 31 minutes

NVM got it..

Kegety's cpbo is extremely useful.

It is a fast compressor/decompressor as well as it integrates into your shell meaning de-pboing is just a click away.

Rather then continue whining, I modified your soundpack to remove those pesky sounds and added my own, also gained from footage from conflicts, mainly from Fallujah (ty Youtube).

I am still to fix the shortened echo's on the M4.

CHANGED: M16/AK/M4/M240 + M203 Launch Sound.

Mirror:

Extract the patched weapons.pbo and put the new .wss files in:

\weapons\Data\Sound\

NOTE:

Do not become confused with

\weapons\Sound\.

Please know that this is VF's soundpack and I merely changed the M4/M16/AK sounds because of my own and others complaints that they were too 'soft'.

EDIT: Will be updating these sounds, as they are still not the desired.

Sorry did I miss a meeting? Is it now OK to just change someone's work and release it without his say-so? Is constructive feedback now 'whining'? Do we now write in bold italics to make our words seem more authoritative? Please can someone fax my secretary with the latest meeting notes? Cheers!

The answer to all your questions, except the last, is:

Yes.

I would advise against editing the weapons.pbo if you plan to play MP. Some servers are now checking PBO files,

agree thay ban you

[max power 21]

Victor Farbau copyrighted his mod, which is his right. This means no, it is not okay to mess with it without his permission.

[-Puma- 2]

agree thay ban you

shit I might go back to FDF mod then

[CameronMcDonald 146]

Hey, I'm back after playing the mod, with Rom's changes. It all seems fine to me.

Rom you might wanna discuss with VF (though he seems to not be around, judging from this) the addition of your sounds, cause to me they sound better than the vanilla.

But you critics should remember all he's doing is giving sounds to add to the mod, he's not re-releasing the thing. Did you even look inside the file Rommel put up? Heck, you could call it "Rom's mini-soundpack" if you wanted, and could use it with vanilla ArmA if you wished. All it is is a bunch of sounds, which Rom suggests you augment the pack with, it isn't a modified version of this mod at all. It's like different sounds for the CS weapons that Skaven imported, and noone crucified RobertHammer or tmp for hosting those up. Double standards, people.

If he'd made a separate thread about it, noone would kick up any fuss, and it's not like he's ramming it down your throats.

Secondly, why in the name of all things sacred did people decide to get up Rommel for calling his own (note the lack of anyone else besides Rommel) constructive criticism whining? Figure of speech, people. If we're all going to get high and mighty about the choice of words people use to describe their own actions, I'll gladly throw the first several billion stones.

sorry, but the new version dosent bring anything that hasn't done yet. All the sounds are like in FDF sound pack, and I'm yet to see any sounds that would match the "real" sounds we hear in youtube.

(maybe chammys mod will do it) VF realsoundpatch got really close tough, Just a little polishing needed

[TrunkzJr 0]

i think the sounds are very nice [M16 sounds odd i dunno if it really sounds like that] but yeah i like them better then ArmA's even if theres only 70-80% close to the real thing

[Radnik 18]

Victor, any news on upcoming patch?.

[VictorFarbau 0]

I am just back from vacation and intend to release a new version after this weekend.

I reviewed (collected recorded cut cleaned polished) a lot of sounds to build this pack while trying to maintain a coherent overall theme and loudness. The continuous request for changes (looking at this thread) wouldn't allow me to keep this together the way I think it should be.

For the time being I will keep releasing this "as is" - future changes of course possible (MOD release, different sounds, a greater common sound project) but dependant on spare time as well. I got a job and family to nuture as well

[Radnik 18]

Great news!.

Keep it up! ...

[TrunkzJr 0]

Yeah i can't wait to check it out ^_^

[VictorFarbau 0]

Added V1.02, as usual all info is supplied in the initial post.

[namman2 0]

could you upload a pbo verion instead of ptc please ? because i don't have patch 1.08 (too big to download right now) or there's a way to extract ptc files so i can install it manulay

and if you want i got some ak sounds that i've recorded in the last clashes in gaza

[VictorFarbau 0]

@namman2: Uploading a ~230MB pbo file won't be a feasible solution. Plus, we're talking about the 1.08 patched file, that won't be any good for a 1.05 installation.

I would stronly suggest to download the 1.08 version regardless what time it takes - it's an important patch anyway.

Regards,

Victor

i can't get back my 1.08 , and i dont want to reinstall my game :-/.

but i really want to try your sound mod. could you please, make an alternate released , with the config + sound file only ?

some of us can still install it , with cpbo tools

[.kju 3245]

cheers!

@gL33k: So which patch level of Arma are you using that you cannot apply the 1.08 patch / MOD patch?

I just finished a big makeover of my sound mod after some time and am uploading it now (including a MP3 preview). I am only using final stable versions so far, no hotfixes and no patch previews.

Cheers,

VictorFarbau
