I uploaded the normalized mission speech file here:

It looks like the permissions on that Rapidshare are set to not allow downloads, so I can't get to it.

It might be interesting to make an alternate sounds pack that uses sounds from MechWarriorOnline, etc.

I had that issue with the menu screens, but it was because I wasn't setting my machine's resolution (I'm running a laptop) down to the 1024 x 768 that MC2Omni supports. Once I did that, the menus worked fine.

I don't have anything to add on the framerate issue, other than what magicX has in the notes. The mod really doesn't seem to like any other applications running at the same time, so I kill my web-browser, email, etc. when running it.

Loving MC2Omnitech so far. Started having a few crashes on-entry to the menu (after a mission), but nothing too frequent. Hoping it stays that way.

Really enjoying the changes you made to the game, even in the unmodified Carver5 campaign. Almost like a whole new game.

One question for you:
Do you know where the game sounds are resourced from?

I assume they are in one of the PAK files. I did some digging around, but didn't really come up with anything useful for viewing/extract the contents of MC2 PAK files.

The reason I ask is that I've always hated the volume level on some of the weapon sounds. Machine guns in particular are annoyingly loud, especially in groups (which is odd, as they are little pop-guns and shouldn't drown out a big PPC or Gauss Rifle).

Given the opportunity, I'd love to level that audio clip down some, and maybe tweak a few others.

I already adjusted Col. Reynard's speech when he's attacking the Gulag in the Liao missions, which was one of the un-PAK'ed simple WAV files.

That file was never normalized in volume to match the other dialog in the game. Easy enough to fix - if you'd want the adjusted file to add to the Carver5 campaign pack, just let me know.
