Mixed Sounds

Recommended Posts

Mixed Sounds 1.0

This is a config that when used in conjunction with the following sound mods picks certain "good bits" from all as one:

AACF Sound Mod V2.3

FROMZ FAMM V1.4p

BPA REAL SOUNDMOD V1.5

HI FI SFX SOUNDMOD V1.31

CHAMMY'S SOUNDMOD

What you get:

Foot, walking and running breathing from BPA real, most guns from Famm1.4, explosions from FAMM/Chammy's (grenades, rockets and large bombs from Chammy), Bullet cracks / fire from FAMM, Helis and vehicles from AACF, some AK rifle sounds from HIFI FX.

NOTE: For full impact best used along side ECS mod.

I love all the mods, but I spent a large amount of time picking what I REALLY loved and made a config for myself. I got many PM's and thats why I thought id share the config.

** Disclaimer **

This is simply a 50k config file and a readme - NOTHING MORE. Its up to the user to download the sound mods and follow instructions and shuffle things around for it to work (readme included).

This is not for MP and only really for SP/ personal use offline.

ALL credits go to the respective modders of all the fantastic sound mods and tireless work. All I wanted to do was share a config that uses bits from all of them.

All sound mods are kept in tact for this (no breaking of pbos what so ever). I hope this doesn't go down as plagiarism or anything remotely like that as i'm not out to encouraging people to break anything existing, just a way to merge for personal use.

Heres the read me content / instructions:

What to do now

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

Create a mod folder (name can be anything you want but I just used "@Sound" )eg :

C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\@Sound\Addons

" \@Sound\Addons " is what you need to create.

Unpack all the mods you have downloaded and place the following listed pbo files into this new created " @sound\addons " folder:

aacfsounds.pbo

BPAReal.pbo

fromz_sounds.pbo

HiFi_sounds.pbo

(you do not need any configs JUST this specific pbo files).

Install Chammys sound mod as it should normally be - in this case: C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\@CSM

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

Ok, just to recap you should now have the following:

C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\@Sound

Within this folder have another folder "Addons" .. and within this folder the following:

aacfsounds.pbo

BPAReal.pbo

fromz_sounds.pbo

HiFi_sounds.pbo

Also then Chammys mod installed as per its own instructions so you also have: C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\@CSM

Now all you need to do is simply copy my included "mixed_config.pbo" into the same location IE:

C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\@Sound\Addons

Thus you should now have in the folder @Sound\Addons :

mixed_config.pbo

aacfsounds.pbo

BPAReal.pbo

fromz_sounds.pbo

HiFi_sounds.pbo

Now simply add both "@CSM" and "@Sound" mod folder to your mod list and then run Arma.

NOTE: Chammys needs to be lower priority (before "@sounds") so you should have something like this:

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\arma.exe" -nosplash -mod=@mod1;@mod2;@CSM;@sounds; ....... etc.

Thats it, the config picks sounds from each pbo, this was my own "favourites of the bunch" .. weapons/explosions/vehicles nearly all changed.

Please note, this is not created out of disrespect to sound modders and the mods themselves **THE MODS PBO's SHOULD STAY INTACT **

I have just made a config that uses them together to mix it up (as im very fussy).

Enjoy.

Thanks for mirror smile_o.gif

I must stress that this is with current versions of these said mods t to this current date.

If there are any changes after this time with these sound mods or there files etc this config wont work or will be out of date. I will keep an eye on it though.

Also note that as regards Chammy's mod you just run my config and the pbo's in priority of it. Its a bit slap dash but I found that doing this kept some nice explosions etc working without modifying my config. Guess i should tidy that up at a later time.

Its all a matter of taste in the end, but I do try to keep the good stuff in and weed out some things that don't really sound too great. Every mod has its good and not so good I guess. I just hope that modders dont see this as a bad thing for my sharing this file.

You went out of your way to create a config that leaves everything in tact yet grabs what you like from all.

Great idea and congrats on the release of the config!

I am happy to creat FFAMM sound mod, and also happy to help the mod makers of AACF and Hifi-FX. And now I am happy to see this new.

Pepole can chose by themself. Good news to the ArmA community. wink_o.gif

@mrcash2009,

I'm another fan/endorser of your Mixed Sounds configuration too.

Your installation instructions were right on the money too. Bravo!

Thanks go out to all of the sound mod creators for their work, and your configuration of it.

I figured after starting up ArmA with your shortcut, the best way to hear as many of the particular items sounds was to go to the ArmA Armory. While listening to both aircraft and vehicles, and few choice weapons, I saw one change to request that you look into as a fix in your next update. The engine sounds that were heard while flying the MiG-15bis, by Bdfy & Volksturm, available on this link, http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=2980 uses turbofan engine sounds of the A-10 Thunderbolt II/Warthog.

Good luck, and thanks again for doing your part in continuing to keep ArmA totally immersive.

I'm a bit busy at the moment but next weekend I will look at the update with:

1. The HIFI V1.4 (sniff out the goodies)

2. Look at these engine sounds (never seen those before) thanks for link thumbs-up.gif .

3. I will also look to add Chammys into the config as apposed to setting it lower priority (his grenade and explosions are superb).

4. I will maybe try out variants with things like "Just chammy's bullet cracks" and "just Frommz bullet cracks" etc.

i wont go mad becuase you cant please everyone and the list would be endless LOL. I will really try to keep it to the usual suspect audio mods too, don't want to go on a tangent and have far too many sub pbo's for people to download (unless they are the dog nuts of course).

Thanks for post and Fromz, very grateful to get feedback from you especially, I was worried that I might get flamed for doing this biggrin_o.gif

I wouldn't mind PM's or feedback here from the modders of said sound mods, just so I know im not in the wrong with anyone.

I wasn't going to share, nor update realy, but if theres a place for it I'm glad to add something into the community to help.

Cheers all.

OK iv'e had it confirmed not to use HiFi 1.4. Seeing as I only referenced 2 gun sounds from it, I will not refer to it in an update.

Hello,

I thought id post as I did state I would make an update. Sorry to say the things ive been doing would mean having to merge into one pbo .. then we get into dodgy areas and there's no way I could release anything new.

That said, as I enjoy audio alot and the sound mods in Arma, i posted up a "Sound Post Thread" in the general section:

HERE

Just detailing something ive been doing, and enjoying for personal use.

May as well lock this now, but enjoy the battle field audio at any rate, cheers chaps.  smile_o.gif
