TRX: Sounds Revamp (8.3) addon - Dead Air mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

I made this long time ago as a personal thingy, but some people may find this useful so why not sharing it?

This mod is available for:

• Call of Chernobyl 1.5
• Call of Chernobyl 1.4.22
• Call of Misery
• Last Day
• Dead Air

It's divided into parts, choose whatever you like:

►

A proper mix between a big collection of old and new ambient sounds (uses some assets from mods such as Complete, AA2, [CoC] Ambient Overhaul, etc.. and games like doom 3, quake 4, metro 2033 and many others. special thanks to those modders).

All of those sounds are adjusted and properly re-commented to offer rich surrounding sounds and more eerie feeling comparing to vanilla.
All levels are affected. even the underground levels. let your ears be the judge.

►

Replacements that touch various types of sound effects such mutants, anomalies, emissions and more.
Adds more voice lines for some factions as well.

►

Sounds related to the player
Many changes have been done to sounds such as footsteps, inventory, geiger counter.
Adds new sound effects that weren't available before for pda and flashlight.

►

A collection of vanilla/new ambient music. the key difference here is that instead of using a single track for each map:

• Multi music tracks will be played in any map.
• All of them are cycled/randomized.
• Tracks for daytime, and specific ones for the night.

►

This part will replace the main menu music with a collection of 15 lore-friendly soundtracks.
They are randomized. each time you start the game, you're going to hear a different track.

Notifications sounds:

Just a little touch, this will replace the news/quests notifications sound. comes with 3 flavors:

• S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (vanilla)
• Misery
• Metro 2033

Important Notes:

- Compatible with everything, except mods that alter the sound channels.
- No need for new game, totally safe to install or remove.
- The Environment Sounds part edits Fracture, Bloodsucker, Zombies config files to enable new sound effects. it won't be compatible with mods that alter mutants files.
