[torpid jungle]

Really cool

[regal kestrel]

I have a sound suggestion- Serbian radio chatter.

[cerulean estuary]

if you find me the audio, I'll add it

also depends on what kind of audio

[open lotus]

Not sure how to send audio to you, but I’m totally gonna use this for my campaigns set in Afghanistan and Iraq, one that I would suggest in perhaps a goat herd, with stuff like bells and that, I’ll see what I can find

[cerulean estuary]

I tried to find one, bit difficul to find quality ones

you can always send me a youtube link and I'll check if it's feasible

[open lotus]

Ya I can see that now, not a lot of good options, think this is the best I could find

[cerulean estuary]

I'll also be adding things like a nokia ringtone, a phone ringing in the distance, copyright free music, etc

[cerulean estuary]

that's nice, I might hold off until we have some animals in reforger

[open lotus]

Ya fair, I will say that on a map like Mogadishu, set the time to night and having the call to prayer playing it’s really atmospheric

[cerulean estuary]

yeah

[open lotus]

Video I captured, this mod is gonna be something that always stays in my downloads

[cerulean estuary]

great to hear 🙂
I'll keep updating it as I find more sounds

I want to do more european oriented sounds too

[lone loom]

It didnt work for me

[cerulean estuary]

the mod works, as shown by other people too, so it's on your end, make sure you loaded it

the sounds are in zeus, within modded or FX

[lone loom]

Aight, ill check this

[unborn sun]

Hey, as first, thanks for this mod.. its really cool to have it as GM, Missions are now more interesting 😄 And the second.. Its possible to have some settings? Like distance, volume etc.. bcs somes are too loud and can be heard on 1km 😄

[cerulean estuary]

Nope to the settings

some of the sounds are meant to be heard from far away, I might do variants with less range in the future

[unborn sun]

well, like the seller? 😄

[cerulean estuary]

The seller is talking through a megaphone

[unborn sun]

oh

[cerulean estuary]

the range is 200m, sound stops there and it starts lowering the volume at 50

[unborn sun]

kk, thanks

[cerulean estuary]

no problem

[old timber]

Awesome mod, need some far battle sound of explosions

[regal kestrel]

I found some Serbian audio, here’s the video I found.

https://youtu.be/IOv7zuMBi1w?si=CFTZKKHTCjUST0kH

[ember flower]

Could I suggest a louder comdat spund as if its the street next to you? My guys can't hear the sounds over our gunshots

[cerulean estuary]

Well, that's normal

The idea is that if they are that close, street over as you said, you might be able to see them

As a zeus I prefer setting up ai and have them shoot if Im doing that close

[ember flower]

Trying not to overload the server, we're usually in a heavy city area and xbox players seem to have some restrictions on what they can handle unfortunately

[cerulean estuary]

I'll try, although my recommendation would be that, to make it with AI, since if they are that close it should be a "real" gun and be a possible threat you can identify where it's coming from

Apart from the recommendation, yeah more sounds are always okay so I'll try adding one more like that eventually no problem

I usually remote control a single preplaced AI and have it shoot randomly
Always scares my players hehehe

[ember flower]

Awesome, I'll try to use more ai but if we start maxing the limit my Xbox players have issues. Then again we run halo stuff so its already an overhaul on the server

[cerulean estuary]

🙂

[cerulean estuary]

I'm going to have to cut it so it's only radio audio but I think it's doable

[regal kestrel]

Alright

[cerulean estuary]

Update being published:

Added:

• Traffic Ambiance
• Police Car
• Nokia Ringtone
• Distant Shelling
• Distant Sheep Herd
• Car Alarm

[cerulean estuary]

I got an okay sheep herd and modified it so it sounds more distant

[torpid jungle]

Have you thought about doing one of people freaking out and yelling for when theres a firefight in a market or something

[cerulean estuary]

Yeah, I'm planning on it but that is a bit difficult to find

[bitter scaffold]

Amazing mod you made, my suggestions are next:

• Distance Artilery firing (just firing, and than we can combine with distance bombardement on oposit side)
• More variations for far and close firefights, it will bring immersion a lot

[cerulean estuary]

I'll see about it

[slow swallow]

Hello, nice mod. We've seen that if you put a sound on the map and a player connects later, they don't hear that sound

[cerulean estuary]

correct

that happens with every sound, they are not JIP, just refresh them

[slow swallow]

hi, so there is no way to make them permanent until the gm removes them? because if in Kunar I plan a GM mission in the morning and I put 10 civilians down in a market square and I put there the "market sounds" it would be cool that the other players who enter in the evening and arriving at the market see the civilians and hear the sound

[cerulean estuary]

the sound will keep playing but if the sound was placed before they joined it won't work for them

again, it's not JIP and it's out of the scope of this mod, that's for bohemia to do

just place the sounds before they go in, the issue is with the game, not the mod

[slow swallow]

Of course I don't doubt it, in fact it's a wonderful mod, we're already using it! Not knowing how it works to create these things I was just ask you why if i put an original radio from the game on the ground in GM and turn it on anyone who login server after will still find the radio on playing... If it was possible to use the same "object" logic in your mod

[cerulean estuary]

Not at the moment no

They are different things, and the radio is also not join in progress in my experience, it will wait until there is a new sound played over the radio to sync

This sound mod is based on Game Master FX from bacon for the sounds, so it's out of scope for what you are asking
I have other things to do and investigating if that is possible would take time by itself, I'm not doing it right now but I'm also not disregarding your comment, it's just that as I said, it's out of scope at the moment

[open lotus]

Not sure what you would want to call it or how you would have to edit it but I thought a cool sound you could use that would suit all regions would a be a distant MLRS launch, the one I though sounded the best and was the most terrifying would be the sound of either a Russian Katyusha or German nebelwefer

[gray socket]

Hey your Mod is really cool but i would like to recommend a setting for the Gun sound volume. I have no Problem with loud Guns but right now its at the point of hurting your ears and our Gun is far louder than the 50 cal. I was playing a Milsim Mission with my Team and after an Hourlong Mission its going to hurt.
Especialy when its as for now not compatible with the Earplugs Mod.

I think i, my Team and many Players would really appreciate some kind of Setting or compatibility with the Earplugs Mod.🙂

[cerulean estuary]

again

No
It's out of scope for this mod, just move the sound further away

also, what gun are you talking about?
I have no guns in this mod
If you are referring to the sounds, it's not loud enough to do what you say is doing, 90% of the sounds are distant ones

[gray socket]

Bacon M4

[cerulean estuary]

what? Wrong mod thread
This mod doesn't touch weapons or sounds in general
Only add sounds for the zeuses to place

[gray socket]

Ok sorry my bad. It was a misconception with our gamemaster

[sly orchid]

Remember a few of these from Arma 3 sound mods and etc, any plan to add some from older mods? I am pretty sure there is plenty of .ogg files kicking around. (Not sure if that format is used for Reforger or not.)

[cerulean estuary]

Wav is used so it would be simple
I might use some of the old ones yeah, for now I'm getting new higher quality sounds with the same vibe

[sly orchid]

We added this today to our server and the sounds and the extra items definitely helped out immersion and I can't wait to see what you continue to add. You are killing it so far and appreciate the quality you want to bring into this. If you need any suggestions or such, I would love to send a few over.

[cerulean estuary]

Thanks 🙂
And for sure, send them

[drifting cairn]

loving the mod Are you going to add more sounds?

[cerulean estuary]

Yes

[drifting cairn]

lit

[silk oracle]

Is there a way to have the sounds repeat on a timer? Like say the jet flyover sounds repeat once every 30 seconds or something like that?

[cerulean estuary]

Nope, I could make it so it loops but I think it doesn't make sense for it to loop on that sound

[harsh hedge]

in

[open lotus]

@cerulean estuary quick question man, would you add creepy sounds to this mod or would you want to make another mod for sounds that may be horror related

[cerulean estuary]

I might add them to the same mod and just make categories, but horror sounds and more specific sounds will come further down the line

[open lotus]

Fair enough

[junior obsidian]

@cerulean estuary Is there by chance make 2-3 sounds I have in mind? for immersive purposes?

• Distant Gunfight, Distant shelling, & Distant Jet sounds (Every so often) as 1 entity? And by chance be able to make it loud enough to place 1 of said entity instead of multiple?

• FPV Kamikaze Drone sound.. (Sound of drone getting closer/lounder up until impact) (Explosion done through Game master effects)

• Grenade Dropper drone sound (F1 Pop sound with Drone sound)

Please do let me know your thoughts and if this could be possible

[cerulean estuary]

FPV maybe, distant gunfight and shelling are already there and I think it's better separated so the list doesn't become more cluttered

I like the idea of distant jet since the current 2 sounds ate somewhat close

[junior obsidian]

Gotcha no problem.. Then is it by chance possible to make the distant shelling and gunfights not louder but able to hear from all distances? just so that way if player goes by placed entity, sound of gunfire doesn't change direction
Sort of like the "Distant Fighting" sound in the "Operation Overlord GMFX Pack" Mod

And sweet! I would love the drone sounds if possible just in the mean time for immersive operation purposes... Just until I learn a little more on modding and can actually start working on the drone

[errant crescent]

Is there a chance you can make Chinese military chatter and Vietnamese?

[cerulean estuary]

Good idea, I will

[cerulean estuary]

I can make it have more range yeah

[errant crescent]

Also Czech to since I think the fia are Czech

[cerulean estuary]

true

[heady fern]

dude i woul love to see Chinese and czech chatter when its coming

[cerulean estuary]

I have to find examples, if you find some examples lmk

[errant crescent]

Be cool to have these in the humvees https://youtu.be/MWyXjVcZ170?si=sz_3WXVZACORIfzo

[lyric veldt]

It would be cool to have these in gm lol

[errant crescent]

You don’t understand how hard it is to find Chinese chatter like damn near espionage level here https://youtu.be/jrklvDo7Z-I?si=1RdtpoSdWSPIX3ge

[cerulean estuary]

xDD
Thanks

[errant crescent]

https://youtu.be/3NWFJyRIhiw?si=ezgRVh9BwTXDKIUK

[cerulean estuary]

Was the same for serbian when I looked for it so I stopped looking for it xD

[errant crescent]

I can see if I can find Czech I have to much free time in the Air Force lmao

[errant crescent]

I can take a look give me some games or movies that had Serbian forces in it

[cerulean estuary]

I'd have to look it up, when I get back on researching for this mod Ill lyk if I dont find anything

[errant crescent]

https://youtu.be/IOv7zuMBi1w?si=fqAVOG88vZ9HmAiv found Serbs radio from this war

[cerulean estuary]

nice

[lyric veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/ofergang-daniel-gif-25330530

[cerulean estuary]

I just fixed the issues I had with my civilian mod so now I'll focus on this one for a bit

[lyric veldt]

Adding this for FIA wouldnt be a bad idea

[junior obsidian]

Sweettt! Please do let me know if you have decided to make any FPV drone sounds or anything like that

I also was thinking... Would it be possible to like change the sound of an incoming mortor into a Drone getting closer?

[cerulean estuary]

With drones Ill most likely do passing through sounds

[junior obsidian]

That'll do

I'm currently trying to learn enfusion as well to see if it's possible to change mortor sounds

[ornate spindle]

FPV drone noises either as if it is approaching or circling your location would be amazing

[junior obsidian]

Fr

[errant crescent]

New sounds yet ?

[cerulean estuary]

In a bit, working on other stuff atm

[errant crescent]

Ok ok can’t wait

[junior obsidian]

Any update on Drone sounds?

[junior obsidian]

Rip to new sounds

[open lotus]

Why do you say that, just chill man, he’ll be back soon, probably just busy with life

[cerulean estuary]

Nah, I'm just busy with some other stuff at the moment
I'll do some as soon as I can, hopefully I can get some of the new ones before the 20th or so

[velvet fiber]

@cerulean estuary I had a really cool idea for you to add to the sound mod. Since Halloween is coming up and zombie mods are making an appearance possibly adding an Emergency broadcasting station that reports an outbreak of a viral infection

[crystal pebble]

Do these not work in enfusion building a scenario on a map? I placed the jet flyby and the Apache radios, two within 50 feet of each other for the radios, only one radio seems to play, and the animal sounds seem to not work, the muslim prayers work sometimes, and then they sometimes don't. I am placing the entities on the map from the mod, are there certain settings I need to configure? I am looking to have them looped and ambient, always on. Half of them seem to not be working.

[cerulean estuary]

They all work, I tested them yesterday in a dedicated server because I'm planning on adding more

Some of them take a bit to play and it depends on their range
If they don't load at all, it's on your end

If you mean placing them in the workbench, this mod is made for GM

Placing sounds in workbench is different, you can still use the sounds, but not the modules directly

[restive ermine]

just seeing this mod now i’ll need to try it

[crystal pebble]

I do mean in workbench yes. I am trying to place them so they are ambient every time the server loads in. Do you know how I could go about adding the sounds into the map themselves?

[cerulean estuary]

I think you need to do it the way bohemia does, I imagine there might be some documentation on their wiki

But yeah, this mod is for GM

[slow swallow]

can we tweak the volume? we use the "muslim prayer" in our server but +2km range is a little to much..... Wouldn't a little more realistic with sounds that have max 500mt radius be better?

[open lotus]

Personally I would say I disagree as I personally like how loud it is currently, Makes it very atmospheric to here it come drifting in while at base if you’re close enough

[cerulean estuary]

The muslim prayer ones and church bell no, they are meant to be placed far out

but I might do a quieter one
There are other sounds I want to modify the volume of too, like the radios, expand their range but lower the volume

[feral wharf]

More animal sounds would be awesome

[restive ermine]

and some Russian radio chatter, the ones there are great but a few more would be nice

[cerulean estuary]

that one is a bit more difficult

but I do have one or two lined up

[restive ermine]

nice thank you, i think i could probably find some just depends what you want

[cerulean estuary]

I've updated and added a Chinese Radio Sound, another russian one, Hanoi Hannah and Drone Flying Overhead sound effect

The last one might require more tuning but I made it from different samples
I've also changed the radio sounds to be quieter
