Quake2 Deathmatch Sound Enhancements
------------------------------------

This is a simple addon to use and it works well in Deathmatch as well as single player.  I wanted to add some better sound effects to Quake2 to make the game have a little more realistic feel to it.  This is just the start of this project but I'm going to release it and let people get the updates as work gets done on it.

So far I only have three sound effects replaced for the weapons, but more are to come when I can get my hands on some waves that work.  The rocket launcher sound was made by Magnus Jansn, who did work on sounds for Neil Manke.  The rest are sounds that I've done, recorded some sounds from the television and edited them to work.

Also included in this pak is a deathmatch skin, made for me by Josh Rhode, a skinner who also worked with Neil Manke on his projects.  Included in this zip is the original text he sent me with the skin.

Installation:

Just unzip this file into your quake2\baseq2 directory.  It's named pak9.pak so, hopefully, you won't have that many paks installed in this directory and it will be able to be installed there.  Installed in this directory it will be able to work without any special commands used, just start the game and there you go.



-------------------------------------

The sounds:

Machinegun:  The machinegun sounds like a silenced machinegun when you're firing it, but when someone else shoots at you with it, it sounds like a heavy caliber machinegun opening up at a short distance away.

Genade Launcher:  This sound effect is made to sound more like an M203 firing a grenade.  It didn't have a gunpowder explosion like a gun or rocket launcher does, more like a quite "ploop" sound as the round fired.  I've also added a little sound to the animation for the chambering of the round and rotation of the carriage that loads the round.

Rocket Launcher:  This sound was made by Magnus Jansn and used in Neil Manke's "PC Gamer Presents: Saving Private Monkey".  I got permission from Magnus to use this sound effect in my sound pak, and I have.  It's the most realistic sound for a rocket launcher I've heard so far so I have to include it.  It has a realistic boom sound for the initial launch and an echoing effect for the after fire.
