FL350 0 Posted February 6, 2008 Just wanted to hear some people’s opinions, I’m currently running the Xtreme ArmA Mod latest version 1.4, and find it excellent, but there are alot of bugs...however i can sort of tolerate this... I’ve never tried the 6th sense ArmA mod but it seems to but updated quite regularly on the armaholic website so it must have alot of work put into it, I wanted to ask people who may have tried them both which are better... For me "better" means extreme realism, and great sounds! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sickboy 13 Posted February 6, 2008 Hey Mate, I believe XAM is better for the SP Experience, because I believe they add and replace a lot of the default ArmA stuff. 6thSenseMod on the other hand is aimed at Multiplayer, most features are written for this, and there is very little changed to the default ArmA stuff. However, when you run custom missions and especially in MP, I believe the 6thSenseMod adds a lot. Also, I have not replaced any default sounds, because I believe that sounds taste is very personal, and people should decide themselves which sound pack to use; My mod is compatible with all of them I also want to add that I believe that XAM is released while being "Release Ready" while my Mod is being released "In Development" and is more subject to change and more sensitive to bugs than XAM. How the end-user experiences are; I've no clue, I guess you'll have to wait for others to comment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FL350 0 Posted February 6, 2008 thanks alot for that, a good insight  If anybody else has tried either one out please do share, especially the 6th sense mod as I haven’t tried it yet but will download possibly tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma85 2 Posted February 6, 2008 To be honest. I Love 6th sense XAM is good but it mostly seems aimed at SP where as i play both SP and MP. In my opinion 6th sense is the one to go for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BilOlson 0 Posted February 6, 2008 6th Sense, hands down... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FL350 0 Posted February 6, 2008 ok ill start downloading now then, is it true that its all original sounds? if thats the case ill have to find a sound pack, i dont like chammys or FDF, i like select weapons from each, but XAM comes with an array of sounds i enjoy the most, maybe i could just look at getting a few of the XAM sounds, for example, M4, M16, AK47, but i wouldnt know where to start!

sickboy 13 Posted February 6, 2008 Yes, 6thSenseMod only has original ArmA sounds, except for the custom weapons (obviously ). I could recommend BPA Soundmod and Chammies (Hear good things about it), altough I lately use the latest version of FDF Soundmod because I believe the whole package together is giving the best results. Creating your own soundPack is very easy, if you want I can give you pointers on how to work this out. Here you can see an example of a Sound Replacement Config, where I replaced M4/M16 sounds with RobertHammer's Sounds: http://www.pastebin.ca/893772 You could look at the FDF SoundMod config and use the skeleton of the config to configure your own sounds etc from other packs. If you're completely new to editing I could write some guide and host it on the BIKI for you and others to use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me "better" means extreme realism, and great sounds! Just use both. That's what I do. Matter of fact, I use just about everything at various times. Regarding which is better on the extreme realism front, neither. They both have different aspects to like and dislike, but this is still a game so realism is kinda of a joke to me. The actual service was "real" enough for me. Bottom line, both are great fun. I love the work both the 6th crew and XAM have done. I refuse to play favorites.

sparks50 0 Posted February 6, 2008 They are too different to be compared. But i have to say, the sound effects in xam really does wonders with the immersion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt. Tracy 30MikeMike Matthais 0 Posted February 7, 2008 Sickboy, if you can, please do write up that tutorial for sound modding, I've wanted to for a while, but haven't been able to find good information for doing so. Regards, Tracy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be fantastic, at the moment I’m still going with XAM until I can work out how to just acquire individual weapon sounds, thanks for your effort mate  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
