Dark Echoes is an environmental soundscape replacement for Arma Reforger.
It offers an alternative ambience to create a more sinister and oppressive soundscape.

Environmental changes -
Removes all song bird samples.
Increases the volume and frequency of squirrel screams.
Enhanced forest ambience. (tree creaks and falling branches)
Enhanced structural ambience. (metallic groans and creaks etc.)
Slight decrease in foliage collision sounds. (player movement through bushes and trees)
Additional night-time samples. (various trills and spooked animal sounds)
Alternative environmental ambience samples for Towns, Meadows, Forests and Hills.
Clearer distinction in environmental ambience moving through different locations. (soft and muted in forests, louder in urban areas)
Brings the distant predator bird samples to the forefront of the sound mix. (Owl, Woodpecker, Magpie, Crow, Raven, and Common Buzzard)

For optimum results -
Low wind speed.
Mute in game music.

Can this pair with your other ambient sounds mod?

muted ingot
#

Yes, runs well with Battlefield Ambience, however I wouldn't recommend running it with The Fog mod, that fog siren might make the soundscape a little busy.

Thanks! I’m assuming environmental ambience mod won’t muddle the soundscape as much either?

muted ingot
#

Yeah, pairs well with them all. hmmyes

Just had a quick run around on Arland with Dark Echoes and your Fog mod. The ambiance is out of this world.

# ember falcon ASMR..... any details?

A comprehensive enhancement of all the tactile sounds associated with weapons handling (inspection, ads, obstruction, reloading etc), inventory sounds (opening/closing etc), gear sounds (backpack jiggles etc) plus some other stuff too.

@ripe thistle I'd recommend a trip to the forests of Gogland and Denali.😉
(Other quality community maps are of course available.😅)

Loon's have entered the chat and will soon be paying a visit to the night time forests, rivers and lakes.

I always found the loon bird sound SCARY and was like what the hell is making that sound.

Little did I know it come from a freaking duck !

Fun Fact:

Loon birds aren't actually ducks.

Hey EO.

I possibly found some errors with the new version of Dark Echoes.

The log is throwing some errors with sounds like fence rattle and others.

I will send the log soon.

yo EO, what does it take for full compat of this mod on other maps? Specifically wondering about the forest sounds like the tree twisting creak. Are there certain foliage prefabs needed to trigger those sounds?

Interesting. I see them stored in Environment_Ambients_3D_Random_2.acp. I'm running the yellowstone map and cant seem to hear any of those wonderful spooky conifer sounds stored in that acp. The maps sound prefab is using the default acp's like you said. Wonder if those are dependent on some specific foliage prefab but I tried a ton of different trees and cant seem to hear it on yellowstone. FYI not requesting changes or anything on your end, just brainstorming what triggers those sounds exactly
