Replacement sounds for VS mode? | Forums

[SUH-Spectator6]

Are there any sound packs or anything for SCCT Versus mode? I just don't care for the Merc rifle sound and would like to replace it with something different. Any luck?

well i wanted to put some of the old pt sounds like when you get an objective and when your on your last objective music...but i'm not sure you can

I dont know how to do, and i actually hope it is not posible. Imagine ppl change the enviremental sounds, or the foodsteps. That way they get an advantage because they can hear the enemy better comming.
I really hope UBI thought about it and made it imposible for multiplayer games to change the sounds.
For singleplayer i would not really care...

hear the footsteps? lol if you can actually hear it, guess what buddy? it shows up on the mercs UI
besides that, I would think the environment sounds are stored in the mapfile

I asked this question awhile back and got no information

That's not necessarily true. Some sounds can be heard (especially with EAX) even if they don't show up on the merc's sound detector.

modding the soundiles wouldn't achieve anything you couldn't achieve by turning your speakers up, i'm pretty sure there is a "cut-off" range and if you're outsideof that range nomatter how much noise the spy is making you won't hear it

That's a negative there, little buddy! If the spy is crouched the footstep noises will NOT show up on the merc's reticle. BUT some surfaces are really noisy(vents, wood floors etc.). So if someone messes with the sounds so that he could hear all the footsteps as if they were on wooden floors it'd be easy for him to locate spies. Of course, I think you need a heavy load of coding knowledge to do that... And even if you can I'm not sure if it's possible to join other people's games with your edited files.

what if you were to replace the footstep sound with some sort of loud, distinct popping? it would give spies away pretty fast, and there really isnt much of a "cut off" range

you can hear things like footsteps, a spies gun, motion detectors, a spy rolling and landing from very very far away especialy with EAX

I listen for footsteps much more as a spy than a merc to be honest.

Sometimes I'm screwd with my alarm snares cause I shoot one and forget it, then it makes this running sound and I **** my pants thinking that merc is running to me.
