Toning down weapon sounds

[Slayer :D]

Does anybody have a pak where the weapon sounds are toned down? Right now I have volume set so when I shoot it is about as loud as I can stand, but I can barely hear the stimpack pickups when I am standing by the bullets!

your best bet there, is to get louder item pickup sounds, or ones that aren't much louder but are a bit easier to distinguish while other sounds are occuring.

This pak has some armor pickup sounds and spawn sounds that may help, along with a special mega pickup.
I don't have any for changing the other healthpak sounds tho.

There are some different weapon sounds for the hb, blaster and shotguns too, but they may not help you.

The pak on my page has alot of tweaked sounds...  some you might not like or understand though

examples..

  20 health pickup is a sonar ping sound

  10 health pickup is a water drip in a bucket

  weapon pickup is an angry dog bark

  ammo pickup is a window smashing

  ammo pak / adrenaline pickup is a choir singing 'hallelujah'

  armor pickup is the q1 armor 'ching' sound

  people entering water is a splash sound

  items entering water sounds like when you drop a big rock into a creek

  chaingun and machinegun sounds are toned down different versions
     the stock 'popcorn' sound drove me nuts

  grenade bounce has a touch of an echo to it

  player spawn/ teleport is the 'uh oh' sound from ICQ

list goes on,  I had no internet for 3 months so I spent alot of time changing all the sounds to my liking.

You can change any you don't like as well,  just need a pak program and a sound editor.

Dude that's so smart! 
I've seen people get tricked so bad at dm1, just cuz players drop items into the water, the jump after the stuff and get owned

The purist way is just to soften the real sounds. Even Sound Recorder can do this. I've done this to many custom models sounds that were irritating or  too loud. Also lowered some env sounds.
This would be a good project to make a pak of 50% volume standard weapon sounds. I would leave rail at normal volume tho.
