Just a quick note: I'm not missing ANY kind of post here. I just dont have the time to consider a response every single time! Just stay patient or move along, I can't speed things up here just because you push! LJ

It would, I would just need the time. I'll see what I can do, just need to figure out what has changed since the last big update... Yeah it is, but I created my own obstruction and occlusion factors to work around that. Will be implemented into the next update. LJ

Well it`s an AP Round so it shound't produce any explosion, right? LJ

Just released LJ

Should be fixed by latest updates... New updates: JSRS Soundmod - 5.17.0215 Changes: Tweaks: - Tweaked Config of both CAS Planes - Tweaked Sound Volume of Minigun Sounds Fixes: - Fixed Missing AH9 Pawnee M134 Minigun Sound - Fixed Missing Cas1 Plane 30mm Gatling Gun Sound - Fixed Wrong RequiredAddons List for A-164 Wipeout and To-199 Neophron resulting in a mix of BI and JSRS Sounds Additions: - Added First new CAS Gau Sound for a Test. WIP JSRS Soundmod - 5.17.0214 Changes: Tweaks: -Tweaked Deleted redundant sounds[] = {"StandardSound"}; value in GM6 Lynx and M320LRR Fixes: -Fixed M320R LRR and GM6 Lynx had Semi Auto firemodes because of wrong superclass LJ

Hello Corona, let me guess, you are on the DevBranch? The Dev Branch has a new technique for sound occlusion. When a weapon is fired behind an object and is not directly in your sight, you wont hear it clearly and it is very muffled. That's what BIS is currently working on and they'll tweak this probably. Currently, I suggest using the Main Branch with JSRS and that's what the mod is made for. If you ARE on Main Branch tho I might need to ask if you have any other mods running along with JSRS? LJ

The mod has been updated for a first hotfix: JSRS Soundmod - 5.17.0213 Changes: Tweaks: - Tweaked Separated the reloading and handling souds into a new mod that requires JSRS Soundmod - Tweaked Added all the apex content sounds to the main addons folder for clearance Additions: - Added Additional mod for the ADR97 Weapon Official Mod Sound Support The new mod will be linked on front page. LJ

Thanks Mickey! I'll take all suggestions and your detailed feedback in consideration! First I'll head out to fix the problems and to clear the APEX content from being not included right away. Thanks :) LJ

Thank you for your very detailed feedback. On fact I was actually waiting for it, at least I hoped you'd find the time to do so, so thanks! I'll take all constructive suggestions and aspects of your feedback on consideration. Many things are still troubling and need fixes. Many weapins, especially gatling weapons aren't working corectly right now. And I'll make another modupload to cover the APEX content. And maybe one optional mod for the reloading and handling sounds of weapons so they are separated as well. Tho I'm wondering what will happen if someone who does not have the APEX dlc and still loads the full mod. Because not everyone has the helicopter dlc and still no errors occur. Thanks for all the feedback guys, please keep posting your actual feedback. Spent a few minutes to write something and don't just click that stupid "like" button :) Thanks, LJ

Don't forget you have to activate the Apex content! It's separated in the "Extra" folder and need to be applied manually. Thats why there is no Apex weapon sounds in your video! LJ

JSRS4: APEX Build 4, Version 1.2, Released 22. July 2016 Description: JSRS4 APEX is a sound modification for ArmA3. The purpose of this modification is to bring new sounds to the game, making it more exciting. Many would say it makes the game much more realistic, but that is not the initial purpose of this modification. Even if some sounds are authentic to what we call "modern warfare", still the main purpose was just to create a certain type of sound feeling. Download: JSRS4 APEX 1.2 The size is real because of the new decoding. JSRS4 APEX ReadMe 1.2 JSRS4 APEX Server Side Files JSRS4 APEX Keys Only Installation: The mod comes in a ready to use status. You dont have to install anything by setup. All you would have to do is to download and open the .rar file. In there, you can find the @JSRS4APEX folder. Now you place this folder inside your ArmA3 main folder. For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\@JSRS4APEX. Once its in there you have multiple options. Either you start up the game, go under settings and into the "expansions" menu and select the mod and restart ArmA3. Or you use the integrated ArmA3 launcher that you can find in the ArmA3 main folder, go under parameters and select JSRS4 APEX under mods. Any other ways to install this mod would be nonsense and these two are the best ways, trust me.

Yeah you can actually do that. I'll want this thread to be moved to the complete section once this has enough feedback! Thanks, LJ

So I just did this: LJ

No, all of them in one config. Also Gear noises, everything considering the movement of a player. Sry. LJ

You can delete the jpex movement_c pbo, its a rather small config pbo around a couple of Kb`s. I (JSRS) dont support third party mods tho ;) LJ

Yeah they'll be fixed ;) Oh yes I just found out. Weirdly strong and makes things kinda too low but still powerfull and really neat :) LJ

Is there some new sound feature like View Block in the DevBranch? I experience that sounds are now getting heavily blocked in volume by objects and terrain in their line of sight. If I can`t see a shooter because he's behind a building I as well almost can`t hear him... Anything familiar? LJ

Well I know what you mean and I have to keep things on a gameplay side of factors. As you said, a attack helicopter shouldn't be audible for like 4km. As I had it back in ArmA2 some times. But I can asure you, it's as you said: You are going to hear it audible and clear at around 1200 - 1500 meters. In that area you can say for sure it's a helicopter and maybe even what type. Further away you will only know there is some kind of helicopter or plane fading in the distance. I believe the current setting it around 2500 meters. And then It really depends on weather and wind of you can hear it or not. Sometimes the wind is louder and won't make you able to determine it. -LJ

It got deleted back then for a bug that caused to play the sound in a never ending loop. I got it now fixed for the next version. Yeah all the old environmental sounds we're so often recycled I can't even tell. They are some and empty for anything to sound good. So I invests d a bit of money and time in all my new sound liraries. The new environmental sounds will do better ;) LJ Any word to the heilocpters btw?

The whole thing about the bass is a little config setting that you can choose by yourself if I'd add multiple confjigs to choose from. Like 100% bass, less bass, flat... Like multiple eq setups in winamp :D The mod is smaller because I encoded it in ogg file format. That's smaller and easier to handle and pack. Btw, here is a small video for a raw helicopter showcase. It shows the new distance effects for all helicopters and a good transition between far and close sounds. I hope you like it. Comments, feedback and suggestions are welcome as always :) Thanks for listening! -LJ

Well the sounds were never changed, they just didn't work anymore. Some changes to the class structure or inheritance made it stop working but I'll get everything back on track! -LJ

Those are small 40mm explosions, as such ammunition is fired by vehicles like AMV and such. So same as the 20mm HE round of the APCs I made them not that dominant as they tend to be annoying really fast because the APCs and AMVs fire in bursts or full auto, explosions that fast behind each other shouldn't run out of hand, that's why I kept them small and simple. -LJ

Hello, Thanks for all the feedback guys! Well there is a bigger difference in unsilenced and silenced weapons than in 1.2. But I'll give you some more details on that later. Also there is always a difference in the weapons. Every weapon has its own unique sound. Tho all weapons share a few sounds. Like the CORE sounds for bass are based on calibre, so a AK47 and a Mk18 for example has the same "omph'y" bass CORE sound while their "characteristics" are always different. Also on further distances the weapons also get sorted by their calibre for a smaller size and better efficiency. Hey, Yes, there has been made some improvements. The differents between distances are more drastic and I made a better use of the 3D processors. The closer you get, the more stereo a sound becomes. Explosions and weapons have a solid peak that's nearly always positional in the environment while things like direct reflections and tails are more processed the closer they are. Its not a big deal considering the fact that bohemia made the new settings just for that effect. But I could make a good use of it now. Let's say I didn't understand how bohemia was thinking on how to use it, now I got it and can fully use it for my puposes. Which ends up with blasty explosions and spotty weapon sounds :) The environmental effects are more detailed and a little louder this time. I might tweak their volume but also have to tweak the configs still. Some sounds are silent to early when the wind hits. All the sounds are separated. There are always might and say sounds for forests, meadows, houses and see, also for hills. But I divided all of them in normal weather and windy weather. And the windy ones are pop in too early. There is just a little wind and you can't hear birds anymore. That needs to be changed. All in all I'll try to give some more videos for some more feedback from you guys ;) Thanks for listening! -LJ

So here is my latest video guys! This short video will give you some insight into my latest developments. Sadly I have to say that the process of Shadowplay, Sony Vegas rendering and YouTube compression is a bad combination for sounds, that's why it should a little dull and flat! But you`ll see the true power of this mod once I get it finished, polished and released! I hope you like the stuff, I would be really happy about a comment! :) I will update you with a few more videos about other tiny things I did. For example, there are some really beautiful new helicopter distance effects! Also I'm always further improving JSRS, so what might be weird to you, or you might have a suggestion / opinion based on the video, let me know! Your feedback is really important to me! Thank you! -LJ

Yes currently some vehicles are not working correctly. The planes are fixed so far in my latest build, though I'm missing the Kuma and some other vehicles like the tempest I think. Overall I'm making good progress. The build runs more stable and sounds good. I might need to doublecheck with the performance here and there. In some situation there are a too many sound shaders going on and I'll track down some features I can minimize here and there. But after all its very good right now. Also I'm experimenting with the explosion sounds. Going to make a video soonish to share some new effects and make JSRS development look alive for once :p Thanks for staying informed. I have so much other busy stuff going on right now that I can hardly find any time for JSRS right now, tho I'm trying to get things working ;) LJ
