Re-enable death sounds? Thread - S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Chernobyl mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

How do I re-enable death sounds in CoC? When I kill a bandit for example, he makes no sound and just ragdolls onto the ground. No "Ah, blyat..." or anything like there is in vanilla SoC or CoP. It's not because of any mods I have installed, because it happens in vanilla CoC (patched to the latest version) as well. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

i just tried vanilla coc and sounds are missing but are enabled in m_stalker.ltx

sound_death = fight\death\death_

I don't think I've ever heard death sounds in COP and I didn't disable them in CoC.

You can try using self.object:death_sound_enabled(true) in xr_motivator death_callback or something. The death sounds are played from engine based on sound_death in m_stalker.ltx

Technically you can just play these through lua. Add the death sounds to configs\misc\script_sound.ltx as a new sound set.

[death_sounds]
type = npc
npc_prefix = true
avail_communities = stalker, bandit, dolg, freedom, army, monolith, csky, ecolog
path = fight\death\death_
shuffle = rnd
idle = 0,0,100
dont_save = true

Then play it on death_callback in xr_motivator.script with this:

xr_sound.set_sound_play(npc:id(),"death_sounds")

something went wrong

LUA error: ...\gamedata\scripts\xr_motivator.script:301: attempt to index global 'npc' (a nil value)

That was pseudo-code more than what you should actually put

use self.object:id() instead of npc:id()

Thanks for the response, Alundaio-kun, but I can't seem to get it working. Any attempt on my part to edit xr_motivator.script is met with a LUA error.

Anybody got the death sounds finally working? I want those sounds too.

No luck on my end, either.

I don't know why, I tried myself. Seems all sounds are stopped when npc dies.

Do death sounds work in vanilla CoP?

I'm afraid not, Alundaio. They've always been disabled or straight up missing in CoP, although present in SoC and CS. Perhaps the sounds simply aren't there? Might require porting from CS.

The sounds are all there, even the fight sound like "Mochiiiii!". There must be a posibility to re-enable them, maybe someone has to check how SoC and CS does it, what script/line does it.

How peculiar then. I mean, if the sounds are indeed there, perhaps this is some strange bug that's flown in everyone's face, yet no one suspected. After all, why don't they work for humans, but they do for mutants? If only I had the knowledge to compare how the game links to mutant death sounds and human death sounds, because they're clearly not done the same.

Well ... in fact, Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat are very similar games, so the scripts have to be very similar too. I'm almost sure that re-enable these sounds are possible, they're all there.

I installed Clear Sky and extracted the data to look around myself. Only difference I could see in the xr_motivator between CoC and Clear Sky is this:

type = "MST"
if bit_and(sound_type, snd_type.monster_die) == snd_type.monster_die then
type = "MST_die"
elseif bit_and(sound_type, snd_type.monster_injure) == snd_type.monster_injure then
type = "MST_damage"
elseif bit_and(sound_type, snd_type.monster_step) == snd_type.monster_step then
type = "MST_step"
elseif bit_and(sound_type, snd_type.monster_talk) == snd_type.monster_talk then
type = "MST_talk"
elseif bit_and(sound_type, snd_type.monster_attack) == snd_type.monster_attack then
type = "MST_attack"
elseif bit_and(sound_type, snd_type.monster_eat) == snd_type.monster_eat then
type = "MST_eat"
end
end

Only reference with "die" or "death" I could find so far. I have no clue where else to look, though.

We need some help here ...

Is there really no way? I just downloaded that RO2 death noise mod, hoping for some added immersion, but then soon realized that npcs don't make noises when they die.

I don't understand why this feature was disabled for CoP...

They are re-enabled in 1.5 - it's fixed.

May I ask how or which file had to be modified? I'm still a little reluctant on moving on from 1.4 and the addons I have for it.

Wait, they're working in 1.5? I've got 1.5b6, and its the same. You mean the version they're working on and not the currently released beta?

I'm still waiting for answers

They are already fixed, watch some of the videos on the developers channel.

Great, now the zombified stalkers need their combat sounds back, don't you think? It would be awesome. "Mochiiii!"

Enabled it for now, but I don't know if it will stay or not. Depends on the others.

Hahah, this is great news. Hopefully they tell everyone how they did it. This damned bit was over 7 years in the making. Now if only all the original voices from SoC could be restored as well, this would make things feel even more alive (ironic since we're talking about enabling literally their last words)
