Description : This mod changes the lightsaber and many of the weapons sounds to a new set of sound effects taken
from the Star Wars movies. I started out wanting the saber sounds to reflect those that I
associate with the classic trilogy, but hadn't heard in any existing mod. There are also new
weapons sounds from the movies.
Comments : The weapons sounds pack a lot more punch. The stormtrooper gun actually sounds as it does in the
movies, with the ANH/ESB blast and its more concussive alt fire blast. The ricochet sounds are
from Han Solo trying to blast out of the garbage compactor, Obi Wan deflecting Jango's blasts in
AOTC, and Luke deflecting the speeder bike blasts in ROTJ. The Bryar pistol now has a better
select, charge, and wall hit sound, with much harder-hitting firing sounds taken from the Biker
Scout and Han Solo blasters. The Repeater's fire, wall hit, and alt_explode packs a lot more
punch, with a much more "conventional" firing sound that I couldn't resist adding (check it out!).
The disruptor sound now has the X-Wing / Snowspeeder blast sound, and the flechette's select and
alt_fire are new. I threw in a new Bowcaster select sound as well.
The lightsaber sounds are a lot more gritty, as they are in the original movies. The swing, block,
and bounce sounds are from Obi-Wan and Luke fighting against Vader. The saber hit sounds are,
for the most part, from Obi-Wan cutting people up in bars in ANH and AOTC :) The saber spin
sounds are from Darth Maul spinning his double-bladed saber. I included a new cut of the saberon
sound from everyone's favorite "whoosh" sound you can hear in ROTJ, when Vader tells Luke "I see
you have constructed a new lightsaber..."
And, there is a new force pull sound, the Emperor's "oooh-oooh-oooh" lightning sound, and the
ever-excellent Darth Maul force push sound. There is a cute new victory sound, even if it
doesn't really sound too much like Kyle.
Enjoy!
