Weapon Sounds Mod

The bit thats really annoying me is having no wind, and having multiple actions attached to one sound command, its just crap and lazy work.
For example, the click you get when you open your canopy is exactly the same click you get for every switch and every end of game load. Dreadful

I just wish I could have some information from the Devs about what triggers there are for sound, so far I have found only 4 trigger words in game.
Its really preventing me from taking this further to a point where it would be a extensive mod, plus all single engines use the merlin.prs and all twin engines use a twin.prs type of senario. Sad thing is I dont know if that will change and be expanded upon. As its a lot of work to create a new or expand on the sound system.

I remember asking Oleg for sound details and when i finally got an answer, it was that the sound was good and was Binural etc etc. Huh! Course it is

u tried to change the line in the Daimler-Benz.emd ? "SoundName motor.merlin" in " motor.daimler" and create a motor.daimler prs?

im at work, cant do it now

well spotted mate I'll test that out later, I've not really had much time to do a proper deep explore through the files system. I really need to set dump and and play the game for a good few hours and try all senarios so i can get every prs file etc.

dude your a legend, buys we got good 109 AND merlin sounds on the way!

its not by me...just using the soundmod from russian forum and ur soundmod at same time...
im a bit scared about editing the daimler or merlin.emd, coz they are in the flightdetail/models ... for offline it should work... but flying online without soundmod ?? no go :p

uploading a vid with some more action for a better show of the mods

I cant get both to work, ive added these lines, and the engine sounds work, but guns dont
-mod=_testmod -mod=MODS\CMSound

II./JG27_Winter, is that engine sound mod your using the same as the one im using?

[Heinz Laube]

i use the engine mod from the russian forum...

for the gunsounds i put the CMSound Folder not under Mods, i have it in the game folder like the _testmod...

so my commandline is..... -mod=CMSound -mod=_testmod

update... both soundmods in action

I hear you there, but an SDK will be useless if everything uses the merlin.prs. Besides its only changing the sound file source? Surely that will be allowed otherwise how can we sound mod properly

Anyhow, I've created a daimler.prs file and it runs as predicted!
I'm looking now at the He111, but strangely it appears to use merlin as well, so i created a jumo211.prs and changed the prs source, and got it all up and running but on testing still stock sounds. So i did another -dump and flew the Heinkel only, and a new prs appeared called motor.twin_l & motor.twin_R. So now i have the same problem again as it appears that all twins now use these files and i cant find anyfile to specify each twin's sound.

[Heinz Laube]

strange.. normally since the daimler.prs works... should be the same for the H111, change all 4 soundname to motor.jumo211, the create a motor.jumo211.prs and put the sounds in.... not found any extra twin sounds

nice video there ! impact sounds seem too loud.

something else ive noticed is that listenin to these new engine sounds is really nice. but they feel detracted from what im looking at. like a super imposed sound. i know this is a negative comment but its just an observation. ive no idea how that would be fixed. where is Diveplane when you need him ???? he is a good musician and engineer and wont be back untill october !.
