Hello & thankyou for downloading my partial sound conversion for Armed Assault.

Boring stuff about this addon..
This started out just for me, my own little addon...I kept downloading great sound mods but being disapointed with one paticular sound, maybe it was the ak sound or a vehical sound anyways it drove me to make the HiFi mod. I wanted to enjoy playing the game with my least favorite weapon because the sound of it firing was so good (does that make sense?) anyways, It began slowly as I cannot make configs for my life. :( things soon began to pick up speed when I got in touch with Polo, creator of the awesome FROMZ mod and quizzed him alittle about his sound config. Being the great guy he is, he said I could modify his config so I could focus on building up my sounds. Well, things worked out well, a good friend of mine started to beta test the mod and before even I knew it I was writing this readme...I hate readme's....Anyways go try, I hope you all enjoy 
Every single sample began life as a 44khz Stereo .Wav which has been converted to mono and dropped down to 22khz to make this, my first ever release a considerably smaller than my future work will be.. ;)

V1.3.1 Fix/Update

Howdy, just a little note before we get to the good stuff..As I said on the forums, post suggestions and I shall do my best..well I hope this holds you till 1.4. Thankyou all for posting, your input on 1.3 so far has been great, so much so that I thought it would be good to release another update before 1.4. Hope you like it...

-Optimised afew more files
-Reworked A10/AV8/KA50/AH1Z/UH60/AH6 Engine sounds again (sorry about 1.3, guess I was rushing)
-Remade A10/AV8 Burst Fire sounds, sounds now match amount off ammo used if burst fire is used..ie; A10=40 round half second burst, Av8=5 round burst.
-Remade All high ROF samples and minugun samples (I'm now alot happier with them myself, check em out)
-Reworked humvee, vulcan, m113, stryker and shilka engine sounds ( upped the pitch and the rpm's alittle hopefully better for you guys this time!)

Theres bound to be afew things I've put in and missed out, just tried to follow what people had said so far across the forums....

-New M9sd, personal choice (thought I'd see what you thought of this...?)
-New Sounds for Helicopter engines (all of em I think!)

V1.1 Fix/Update

-Hand grenade throw sound reworked. should work better with the animation.
-m4 volume notched up alittle
-Hand grenade Explosions reworked (added some bass frequencies to the boom sound and falling debris to the trailoff sound)
-M203 & GP 25 explosion sounds reworked (added more variation in sounds, watched some footage on Youtube, noticed variation in the sound over range was quite different so tried to copy it. the problem I beleive is that the 8 samples designated for this fire off randomly, so you could be firing at close range and here an explosion sound that would be virtually 200-300 metres away...Guess we'll have to see, please comment on this as I'm also considering building 1 base sound and then modeling the other 7 sounds around that, just for consistancy.
-MP5 volume notched up alittle
-Javelin sorted ! (nasty phasing sound busted)
-Bikey thingy fixed this shall be fixed by jman2704 soon


think thats about it for now just a small update hopefully bigger and better things to come soon, please checkout the links below for updates,
