1998 Weapons Sounds

Legendary!! Considering my many disappointments with this remake, the modding commmunity has done so much to bring it back to its roots. <3

It's nice to have different weapons sounds. I actually love it.


However, JMB (a resemblance to Browning HP) is actually existed in the original and it was Claire's starting weapon. It just goes under different name (Handgun).

Thanks guys! i tried to do what is possible with this engine (too many files and specific ways of using them).


Ashesmelodygirl, did Lab voices (and Self Destruct) was also in spanish? I have my english steam game, only dialogues/subtitles other languages files included. Self Destruct was only specific files, no variations for languages.

3lite, uff.. you're right about JMB. Just i remember how it sounds after changing shot sfx's - i was not satisfied with result. For now i leave it unchanged.

Steki, i have technical impossibilities. Handguns.. i did only Matilda (VP70, H&K) and you see.. how other pistols effected. Do more edits on pistol - more changes for others. 1 and only focus was Matilda (cause you can balance sounds for 1 pistol (other pistols gonna use those sounds in game- just applies sounds setting by game engine).
Damn lazy Capcom, there is no Samurai Edge's files at all, they just put 3d models (and just setting somewhere) - they don't have any audio files just uses Matilda audios with applied settings.

I could try more audio balance on Matilda sound. But in cutscene shot it not sound 1998 version at all.. don't forget tons of echo sounds gonna be applied to that sound in gameplay.
Shot in cutscene files was played (have specific files): gunshot (shot sfx), then "head hit" sound (mix of 2 sounds: same shot sfx +enemy hit sfx)
In gameplay: first always triggering additional audio settings (when entering room/or map point). Don't forget weapons specific default audio settings also always working.
Actual gameplay shot in zombie: bump sfx, echo sfx starts (echo-in), shot sound, hit material (enemy, metal, wall or etc..), echo sfx finishing (echo-out)..
Why cutscene head shot sounds effective - in gameplay shot you have "hit material sfx" when you hit, in cutscene hit moment is "hit material sfx" +replay "shot sfx" at the same time (almost).

I could try to make other version of pistols sounds for having variation (not 1998).

Then Shotgun, yep shell reloading (inserting), shell cases drops is possible, but vary very time consuming. I was testing till point i was feeling/saying to myself - "almost every damn bullet (shell) have his own sfx". Yeah, it needs time to find all shells inserting, shells cases dropping sounds. Same with Colt Revolver.

Fell free discuss more how to improve (if needed), and i'l see if is possible or somehow to find way to make work.

Angeles Kennedy thanks for showing in videos, now i understand it should be other languages files for Labaratory. Gonna get those files and make mod for them.

You re welcom 😘
And thanks so much for all your work 😁

Thanks again, good to hear i'm not only who want's those 1998 sounds.

And JillSammich , let's line-up goal:
"upgraded shotgun doesn't have that KABAAM".
"make that sound the default sound for the shotgun in general".
To sum up. In game, Shotgun and Magnum don't have any shot sound [yeah, wtf], is pure echo's/bumps combination by engine (to trick you're ears "gun just shot").
Very strange way Capcom.. i insert actual shot sfx part with echo.

That KABAAM you hear, not mentioning actual shot sfx, is starts with short "bump sfx" +long "echo sfx" (BAAM part is echo-out).

Possibilities: edit echo sfx (is just specific file). I could edit echo-out (make it very low, or completely silence that part).
With silencing, only "~KAB", i hade this variation while experimenting - is sounded kinda pure, short Shotgun shot - but no echo at end.
It sounds good'sh, but too short comparing to others weapons (plus always noticing missing echo part).
Also don't know how it effects/sounds Upgraded Shotgun - uses that sound. Please suggest about "~BAAM" part, try lower it/maybe make it shorter/try silencing?

EDIT: gonna try some variation.
EDIT2: 1.01b (re-doing)- try this variation of Shotgun, that "kabaam" not gone but sound have diffreces (if you even notice difference). That "kabaam" effect could take weeks find to change. Is using ~2-3 sfx's (they have also some variations), those sfx's also using other guns..
EDIT3: recommending wait for newer version, i'm re-checking every modded sound and making some audio balance. 

Angeles Kennedy hope you escape Racoon City in time!
