![]() Anders & PRTA presents Anders Soundmod v0.5 An atmospheric realism mod for Project Reality Good news! There is another update for the soundmod available right now! It has updated soundarchives with alot of new sounds for weapons, soldiers, vehicles etc. For the full changelog of 0.5, please click here. This was done based on your feedback! So I would like to thank you for that. I also have a sort of unpleasant announcement to make. This will be the last public release of the soundmod. from now I will try to help the PR team with sounds etc. into the next official PR release. This was my goal, to let everyone enjoy these immersive sounds! How To Install and play? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UNINSTALL OLD SOUNDMOD VERSIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING! Using manual install (old method): - If you installed the soundmod by manually copying the .zip files, simply delete them and then copy over the original back-ups to restore your PR to it's original state. - If you didn't make back-ups or somehow otherwise broke it, please uninstall and then reinstall PR completely! Using the 0.3 or 0.32 PRTA Installer: - Shutdown BF2 / PR & ensure that neither is running. - Open the installer & disable the soundmod. - Click on the uninstall button and the soundmod should be removed and yourPR should be restored to it's original state. - Delete the .3 or 0.32 PRTA Installer IF YOU ALREADY HAD VERSION 0.4 INSTALLED, THEN JUST USE THE 0.5 INSTALLER TO COPY OVER THE EXISTING FILES,NO NEED TO DELETE ANYTHING. PRESS YES TO OVERWRITE FILES WHILE INSTALLING. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TO INSTALL v0.5
TO PLAY v0.5 Once you've installed the v0.5 soundmod correctly, you'll find a shortcut on your desktop to allow you to enable or disable it (the shortcut is automatically created during installation):
TO UNINSTALL: Use the build in uninstall option in the control panel of soundmod 0.5 to delete every soundmod file! After this only the control Panel will still be in you mods/pr folder. But it will not interfere with your PR. If you want you can delete it. Still having corrupt files? Try uninstalling it manually. Find out how to do that here. NOTE:
What is it? It is a sound conversion for Project Reality which aims to give the player an extremely immersive and realistic sound experience. Sounds have been sourced from various sources in order to offer both the highest possible quality & realism considering the limitations of the BF2 engine. The project aims to improve almost every sound in PR & in the future you may even see new features like new distant sounds and some new visual effects. What has been changed in the current version? Click here for the changelog On what servers can I play it? The soundmod can be used on all servers that have SM 0.5 in their name. Most PRTA(EU01,EU02,E05,NA01) servers have this option. Do you want the soundmod enabled on your server? Send a PM to Anders here on realitymod.com or on prteamwork.com. Please do not turn of your MD5-checksums. This is against the server license you agreed upon. It's a very simple process to enable the soundmod, just PM Anders. Can you show me some examples? Here are some links to some gameplay videos: 0.4: #1 Gaza Infantry #2 Fallujah #3 Kashan 0.5: 0.5 update release video Installation help
Feedback Please provide feedback on your experience using the sound mod, If you have suggestions or bug reports, then please note them in the FEEDBACK FORUM. If you have any troubles with the installer or the mod then please leave details in the TROUBLESHOOTING FORUM. Special Thanks to Anders, K_Rivers, Hawker, Semtex, 700k, Leeu, Bozo, McIver, Spawncaptain, MineralWouter, Oskar Last But Not Least, ENJOY!

interesting stuff, great to see initiative
I quite liked alot of them, though I've never heard anything other than a shotgun and an A10 cannon IRL Would like to see any reference videos you used to guide you in making these sounds? (to judge realisticness) |

Ive been into a large battle exercise in Sweden where I recorded some sounds, but I also went there to pay alot of attention to how you feel the shots in different distances. I think they fit in well in the mod. No game/simluator in the world could actually simluate the true experience irl when shooting weapons. In fact they should all be "bassy" and muffled to simluate you've got earplugs, but yeah, what can I say. Hard to tell if they really ARE realistic. But I like them in this game atleast. ![]() | |

Are you the one that works on the Arma 2 sound mod by chance, if so great work, probably one of the more better sounding ones.
Edit: Some of the tails of the sounds are just a bit too overpowering in my opinion, but then again I'm no sound guy ![]() |

Too bad you cant make client side mods and play with online, but I guess its both good and bad, cause there really are idiots out there. Although I dont think those kind of people play PR that they also would wanna cheat.. Lets say getting higher volumes for the footsteps. Dont know anything else. Why would you really wanna cheat in PR. I just play it for getting a feel of how it could be irl and for the teamwork. So well, maybe I could contribute to the mod. ![]() Im actually a designengineer wich has nothing to do about soundwork. I guess it has a little to do with my ear for music and details and my estetic person in me. ![]() Quote:
With that I mean the PKM, M16, M4 and G3. | ||

Why not try something like this for the echo?

I like that idea, but not the "after-echoes" sounds like missiles passing by all around you.

nice initiative, I must say I like your sounds for the american weapons best, they sound mean now, instead of the dull deep shots we have now. I'm not particularly fond of your russian firingsounds though, especially the ak74m is disappointing, it reminded me of a grossly loudened airsoft rifle. I am, however, no expert at firingsounds of contemporary rifles.
as noted before, the echo on some sounds, notably the pkm amongst others, is a bit too much. all in all, some sounds, especially the sounds for the american weapons, seem to be a major improvement. it's interesting to see how the feel you get with particular weapons changes dramatically with different sounds! |
