GeraldDuval's Realism Soundpack (v1.5 New cleaned up and improved musket sounds 5/27)

[GeraldDuval]

GeraldDuval's Realism Soundpack v1.0

Most of the sounds in this mod are ripped from the actual weapons themselves, or whatever the closest approximation I could find. The Cannons are actual 32 pound Civil war Howitzers, The mortars are taken from a Spanish 9 or 10 inch mortar. The explosions sounds are actually Firework signal shells.

Preview of the sounds:

I don't mean offense but where did you get the naval cannon sounds? They sound aweful and you can't even hear anything from a distance

[Lex_51]

I just registered to compliment you on your work This is my first post, and I have to say that your cannon sounds are the best I've heard in a long time! They're very realistic and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for making this mod!

Although, I didn't like the musket sounds -- I thought they sounded a bit lackluster and too modern -- so I replaced them with those of another mod using the pack file manager, so I now have the best of both worlds. But fantastic work on the cannons, I'm so happy you posted this.

I just tried a land battle and I love the mortar sounds! The cannon sounds bit took quite zoomed in though which I like to do, and the muskets sounds like a bunch of carbines on the other end of a field lol. They are all much more realistic then the vanilla ones though and add a good feel to the game

[Vanquisher]

I think it's just one thing actually that you have made an error with, otherwise this would be complete

Empire isn't a 10 year old game, so when you zoom out the sounds are processed to sound further away. You really need to get close-up sounds of everything, like you did with the mortar or everything sounds far too distant... you start with a distant sound for the musket at close range... you zoom out and it gets even more distant.. you see The same thing with the cannon, especially the ships.

Modern firearms sounds very different from black powder weapons. They have much sharper, shorter duration 'bang' then the black powder weapons.

Awesome job dude, this thing is great thus far, just need to work on the flintlock sounds man, I want those sounding like a Brown Bess. The mortar and cannon sound great though dude.

[Hellfromthepast]

May try to get something off of this perhaps

[GeraldDuval]

[Hellfromthepast]

Awesome man!

Love the canon and especial the mortars. I used to hate the vanilla mortars with a passion but I love these. I especially like the occasional ringing effect like on the you tube video. Good work on the artillery and hope you make better musket sounds as I dont like the ones you have, sorry even if they are real, I had to rip them out and put others in. When you update your muskets I will definitely try them out tho. And before I forget...+ rep on a great artillery sound mod.

I loved the cannons as well. i look forward to the new musket sounds!

How do you rip the musket sounds out? I figure you must have some program that allows you to extract PATCH files but not sure what that is. Can someone fill me in?

[♔ST0MPA♔]

Sure, I used the latest Packfile manager http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=234546 and replaced them with Mechs Muskets and puckle gun

[GeraldDuval]

New pack has been uploaded. Musket sounds completely changed. hope you guys like them.
