left4dead: reality soundpack v1.6 released

[[R-DEV]sofad]

i did release a small soundpack for left4dead, called reality soundpack v1.0.

read the full story here in the steam l4d forums.

edit:

This is the third release of the reality soundpack for left4dead.

Important!

Make sure to backup the following two folders before proceed:

Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\scripts\

and

Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\sound\weapons\

for bringing back the default sounds in the case you dont like my work.

Playing online is absolutly safe with the changed content! I´ve tested it several times.

changelog V 1.6:

- new foley sounds for all firearms
(not that i hate the vanilla ones that much (beside the over the top and annoying rustling of your clothes sound everywhere), but this is more a proof of concept for doing these sounds out of the scratch. and therefore dont wonder if some of the new foley sounds sound similar to the vanilla ones.. )
- finished volume adjustments for (hopefully) all ingamesounds
(you might raise your speakers volume a bit to get the same overall volume vanilla has, and with that youll give the firing sounds more dynamic and power..)

changelog V 1.5:

- improved hunting rifle firing sound
- improved pistol firing sound
- improved minigun firing sound
- greatly enhanced bullet cracks
- added "fake" shell casing sounds for all guns (this will be used untill its possible to reenable the real casing-hitting-ground sounds)
- eliminated all remaining short error noises
- more general volume changes to bring out more detail and set loud things like weapons more to the foreground

changelog V 1.0:

- new firing sounds for all guns
- new distant firing sounds for all guns
- new bullet flyby sounds, incl. supersonic cracks
- removed click sound for entering the hunting rifle scope
- slightly changed some volume ratios for a more realistic audio experience

known issues V1.0:

- barely audible short crackling sound at the end of some of the custom sounds [solved in v 1.5]
- the volume ratio for some sounds doesnt work like intended yet (i.e. the minigun is way too quiet, all gunsounds could need some extra db..) [better in v 1.5, but guns couldnt be too loud... ]

known issues game related (not fixable by my side and happening in vanilla the same way):

- the sound of your first shot will be noticeable delayed (loading the soundfile not until your first shot?)
- the gunfiring sounds are delayed for some miliseconds in general (noticeable when shooting against something, you will hear the bulletimpact first, followed shortly by the firingsound)
- the radius for fading into the distant sounds seems to be too small; this will lead to some unrealistic sounding crossover from near to distant firing sounds
- shell casing sounds are not audible; at least for me... [temp fixed with fake shell casing sounds in v 1.5]
- the same applies to the ricochet sounds

only the m16 and the hunting rifle use (modified) PR sounds. all the other are completely new from scratch..

not going to warn/ban you myself I'll leave that to the mods but please dont do it again!
