Hope you enjoy this new addon while we continue to work on improving the game models!
BF2 Sound Remaster v1 has been released ► DOWNLOAD LINK
New sound effects with a focus on movie accuracy, high quality, and consistency with other Star Wars media. A complete and thorough sound overhaul like you've never seen (or heard) before for BF2. Big props go to the co-author of the mod Sceptius for helping me out with this extensive mod project.
There's also an extended readme available in my new gaming blog which I recently started with a few friends, both modders and Star Wars Mods enthusiasts. The blog is focused on SW Games news, SW mods and classic SWBF2 modding.
The premise was to replace as many sounds as I could with movie accurate sounds or sounds that seem fitting with the movies sound design for each Era. I even recorded and cleaned up sounds from the movies such as the new lightsaber sounds mostly taken from Dooku vs Anakin and Obi Wan AoTC scene, or "Utini" Jawa Chatter from ANH.
For the weapons that were not shown in the movies we took inspiration from various classic games like The Clone Wars, Bounty Hunter, Empire at War, Jedi Knight series (Academy / Outcast. If you are wondering how it all sounds before you install here's two demo videos I recorded/streamed days before releasing this:

why wont this work
Love the sounds, but on some maps it didn't work for me, for example, on Endor the only sounds I heard were the background music and any voices. Otherwise, this is a big improvement.
The new sound effects are nice, but for some reason the voice of the Commander (e.g. "We've taken a command post!") and the voices of the friendly battle chatter (e.g. "They've sent in the Supers!", "Ouch! Was it something I said?", etc.) don't play at all during battle. Nor do any of the voice lines done by Temuerra Morrison during the Campaign missions. I don't know why this is. Does anybody else experience this issue?
Okay cool I found the solution to my problem! In case anybody was wondering, I copied the common.lvl, core.lvl, ingame.lvl, inshell.lvl, mission.lvl, shell.lvl, custom_gc_10.lvl, and user_script_10.lvl files from my classic (vanilla) Battlefront II directory into the HD Remaster version. One of those files must have been corrupted because now it works properly!!! Only catch is doing this kind of broke the menu screen mod. So I'll re-install that.
