IDF Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 Any newbies or people that havn't got Madmatt's sound mod should drop what they're doing and go get it from the CMHQ. It is awesome!!! Fantastic and such a difference. I highly recommend the sound mod!! But beware it takes a long time to download don't worry its worth it. The game is totally different and highly improved.

Head Mahone Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 I agree to the fullest! It brings the game to an entirely new level. His other mod packs are impressive as well I might add....... -Head ------------------------- I don't need my junkie friends All knockin' at my door I just wanna do an old time waltz With a buxom Irish whore -Shane MacGowan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaffertape Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 I'll take you up on that. Thanks for the recommendation (don't know why I didn't before). GAFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Weiss Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 Where is it on his site? I looked under 3rd party mods/sounds, and all I see is Nightcrawler's and Volcano's mods? I take it those are not the one's your talking about. ------------------ "Gentlemen, you may be sure that of the three courses open to the enemy, he will always choose the fourth." -Field Marshal Count Helmuth von Moltke, (1848-1916) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Clark Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 Bruno, it's in the MDMP section. I totally agree, it's a fantastic addition to the game! I don't use the MDMP's graphics any more, prefering to pick and choose my own MOD sets, but I'll always use the sound pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Weiss Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 Thanks, I went and looked and found it. I think I've been using it, but now I have to go back and find out for sure. I know I added Nightcrawler's and Volcano's stuff, but think I added it over Matt's stuff. I've used them so long now that I'm spoiled. ------------------ "Gentlemen, you may be sure that of the three courses open to the enemy, he will always choose the fourth." -Field Marshal Count Helmuth von Moltke, (1848-1916) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted February 20, 2001 Share Posted February 20, 2001 I think I pretty much replaced most every other sound in that pack with NCrawler's and somebody elses besides Matt's MG42 sound, for I found that one sounds better tahn anything other. However, just using the "Hi-Action" sounds where it gives a little zip and ring to infantry casualties is what really makes that pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Codfather Posted February 21, 2001 Share Posted February 21, 2001 The pack is pretty cool, but I'm trying to tone down the explosions somewhat, since it gets near impossible to hear anything anywhere on the map during an arty barrage, even a 81mm one... Any hints on how to do this with a Mac (dealing with resouce files instead of wavs)? Any good free/shareware out there to do it? BTW I posted this in the technical support area since I did a search there and found nothing. Didn't think of checking in here until it was too late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Codfather Posted February 22, 2001 Share Posted February 22, 2001 any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karch Posted February 22, 2001 Share Posted February 22, 2001 To extract sounds out of the game resource files try this app - http://www.riccisoft.com/files/soundextractor-131.hqx It's called sound extractor and works great. A little quirky now that I'm running OS 9.1 You have to click on the progress indicator for each file to be extracted. Click on it and you will see. It names them well. Then go get a copy of Sound Studio http://www.versiontracker.com/redir.fcgi/kind=1&id=4122/sound_studio_1.5.4.sit.bin Use the Normalize command to reduce the dynamic range of the sounds (the difference between quiet and lout) and then reduce the overall volume with the amplify command. It seems to work really well. All you need to do is use the Mac Mod tool to replace the sound you just removed. 1) extract sound 2) edit volume and dynamic range 3) put sound back into resource file That should do it. Email me or post if you have problems or other Mac tech questions. Love to help. -this message was written on a Mac! - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Codfather Posted February 22, 2001 Share Posted February 22, 2001 Thanks karch! The apps work great. I've reduced the explosion volumes to 80%, and normalizing the sounds seems to get rid of most of the distortion. Now if only I can turn the volume lower than the lowest setting on the iMac - I can handle the level, but sometimes my girlfriend can't I guess that's what headphones are for.
