update: this whole time the m4 RAS had the wrong sounds. Apologies, should be correct now. Added Toz(34), Moz (mosin) and Goz (gauss) reloads.

Added K98 reload.

I've changed some of the .ogg coms again, keep in mind this file does not edit any un-suppressed gunshot sounds except for my experimental trg and k98 shots. If you're getting weird distance behaviour with normal gunshots, it has nothing to do with this file.

Reloads and suppressors are a whole other story. SAVandT measures sound distance in (in-game) meters, and it's difficult for me to know what is an appropriate distance to hear a sound because I can't just base it off real life, I need to take game balance into consideration.

For example: I can't make reloads too loud or else you'll always unfairly hear the moment an enemy reloads, and that will make it too easy to just wait for the reload sound to strike at an enemy. If I make them too quiet, the opposite is true, you'll never know when to pounce on a reloading enemy.

I ran around the zone for a couple hours, spawning squads and running away to listen to the firefights, and they sound relatively normal to me, I am not experiencing reload sounds from half-way across the map, other than shotguns(which I'm not skilled enough to separate the pumping from the firing) and bolt guns(which which I'm not skilled enough to separate the charging). I just don't have the scripting knowledge to retain weapon charging for the player but remove it for an npc.

Not saying I don't believe reports of bad sound (honestly I am surprised I managed to upload a file that doesn't break x-ray immediately), there's just nothing between my ears and it takes me a while to figure things out.

hmmm. I've copied the original .ogg comments from the unpacked anomaly sounds, so I thought it was supposed to be the same as vanilla in terms of distance stuff. I'll take another look at it to see what I've done wrong.

Added some more reload sounds ( M24 "Green dragon", SR-25, PPSh-41, M4 RAS,SKS and a few others.) I'm experimenting with rattling and fumbling during reloads where before there was just silence. I hope it's not annoying, they're pretty quiet just to be on the safe side.

Gonna cool it with the suppressors, I'm way out of my depth with gunshot sounds.

My two cents on cartridge drop is it's not worth it unless it's dynamic. I've experimented with giving every gun shot a case drop sound and it just sounds cheap(especially automatics) when there's a firefight and everyone is jingling like sleigh bells on the grass.

The real trick would be a system that recognizes what kind of ground you're firing on and plays the associated case sound (dirt,concrete,wood,metal etc.). I'd love to see(hear) that, maybe base it off whatever xray uses to determine footstep sound when you walk on different materials.(just speculating, I have no idea what I'm talking about).

stealth update: just some more silencer sounds and some minor cleanup. (forgot some .ogg comments.)

Update: users of the vss "tide" will be happy to know their reload is now synced. added some suppressor sounds for the ump, vz61, Galil ACE, pp2000 and MP5. added rustling/fumbling sounds to various weapons. probably the last update until i figure out the ak74.

You're welcome. Much to my embarrassment the provided file contained a completely silent walther p99 (oops).I've rectified that, and added some new suppressor sounds for the glock,usp fort and fiveseven. I also gave the AR platform rifles a fun little grenade flip sight sound. Any criticism on the addon would be appreciated.
