Had the same issue and resolved it by removing FFIS (Firefight Improvement System). Thank me later :)

VopSound 2.3 for OA public release gfLfbR9Ypts Something went wrong with rendering, so no HQ version. v0w4J13-AEk Full OA support, new ACE sound replacement (will be extended, just HK416 sounds at this time). Please leave feedback, especially the guys who were quite dissappointed about the last version. It should work with OA standalone and CO, but not with ArmA2 alone. Fixed Wings and Wheeled Vehicles modules will be updated in the future to cover more OA vehicles. I just hadn't any motivation to fiddle around with those configs.

Looking forward to it, OS. One thing you might be interested in: I once tried to achieve the same using the "reload" (not reloadmagazine) sound to simulate distant shots. Works quite good, but crashes the whole sound engine after some seconds of intense firefight, mainly because of enemy MG's. ;) Might depend on hardware though. But keep that in mind and propably decrease the probability of MG sounds to 0.50 i.e. if possible.

Not included since there are excellent helo sound addons by TangoRomeo and Robert Hammer released. :) ------------------------ Regarding BAF content, could someone provide me the sound config for BAF?

Thank you. :)

Thanks a lot. The Mk16 issue has been fixed, but I need to get rid of this dependency stuff first before I'll throw the update out. Could you please attach the editor save file of that mission?

Beautiful, can't wait to rip the sky apart with it.

Propably a strange issue with the new islands. Classes might be changed in their configs. Did you try Chernarus aswell?

Dont know much about the retail OA version, but does it install into a seperate folder? Steam version does, and you need to put the modfolder into the Arrowhead folder. Path looks like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@VopSound2.3" Edit: Anything new about the mission needs vops_*_*.pbo issue?

1. If you don't run ACE just remove the both ACE related files, I thought that would be clear and I forgot to mention. 2. How could I reproduce this issue? I've saved a mission in the editor and exported to missions. I had no required addons entry in the sqm. 3. Weird. Try loading with ACE and it works. :pet5: ....//fixed

Oh, could you please explain how to reproduce and which addons loaded?

Since ACEX_SM touches not only ACE but all sounds afaik, it is not recommended to use 2 soundmods covering the same sounds at the same time. For clarification: That applies to all soundmods, not just mine, and has nothing to do with the ACEGuns.pbo's.

Thanks Armaholic for upload and repacking. Excellent work from you guys. ------------------------ Question: Is an ArmA2 standalone version still needed or does everyone own OA/CO now?

Sounds good. :)

Played it yesterday for about 1,5 hours. Civilian behaviour breaks the atmosphere imo, propably make them running out of the village when shooting starts or the INS enter the town. This would be a common scenario in AFG. Nevertheless, had great fun. Good job.

I'm on it, config will be overhauled for 2.3. But it takes some time.

Congrats on the release, truly innovative addon. Must been a pain to set all those "echo areas" on Chernarus. Good job. =)

Can't reproduce, I did not even touch these values. The entries regarding horns are known. It is not an OA Addon yet, so I can't help you with the CTD thingy. Especially with heavy scripted missions like Domination which were always unstable. Take a look in your RPT what caused your CTD's. ---------- @Armaholic and Armed-Assault.de: Thx for hosting. :)

Ahoi! I'm happy to announce the third release of VopSound for ArmA2. It has been a long time since the last version but 967 of edited and reedited and rereedited sounds later, I decided to release it in its current status as I'm getting OA in the next week. I won't have internet in the next few days so please be patient if minor problems occur, which could be possible, because we didn't test it too much. Should be nothing gamebreaking though. I'm planning to port it over to OA and eagerly anticipating tpm's HARCP and will make it compatible. And no, no video. Don't ask. Propably someone takes some time and will make one.

Brilliant mission with a pretty nice setting. Hats off! :)

I've made this vid using an alpha version of VopSound (YASM named). My first release for ArmA1 used these explosion sounds but I overhauled them in later versions because of the poor quality they offered. Dunno where to download the initial version.

Make sure you got the updated files. It could be the gear sound causing the cracking noise. I removed them in the fix. Otherwise it would not be possible to remove just the MTVR.

Use the latest update.

You propably forgot to add the sound container. "Vops_s_guns.pbo"
