Special thanks to;
Betsalel for the help working out the bugs within the config and playtesting new sounds.
Jman from kelly's Hereos for the continuing support, testing, key making & giving hifi a 'proper' home.
My WIFE!!!
I love you Vann, you put up with alot from me, including repetative loop syndrome so thanks for being a gem!
Ok, that all said & done, go kick ass & enjoy!.



ok, BOO! Here we go with not one but two addons..I'll try to give a brief & crappy description of each for you.

Hifi 1.5
Ok, this is the best elements taken from the last release of hifi, reworked, to sound better and for the rest, brandspanking new sounds that i've worked long & hard to get them consistent with the other sounds for a complete combat package.


Hifi Warfare
This came from an idea whilst playing on a friends server running the warfare gamemode. I decided to make some changes to 1.5 in order to make feel more infantry based. some of the changes I made where as follows:
-Different (but consistent) sounds for each mode of fire, ie; semi/burst/auto for all smallarms with available firemodes.
-Lots of time went into capturing R/L explosions & smallarms to make this as realistic & diverse sounding as possible whilst not forgetting this is a GAME.
-Bullethits, Manhits, armourhits have also been changed to enhance the warfare gamemode.
-Also included is a config which adds Combat ambience ontop of the usual ambient sound loops giving the feeling of distant combat (for low spec machines 

HiFi WarfareACE
This is exactly the same as hifi warfare except you get some Ambient Combat Enviromental sounds instead of just birds tweeting and stuff.


Hifi Warfare does borrow sounds from Hifi 1.5, bulletcracks, vehicals an other misc sounds. All the sounds it 'shares' are either new to both addons or have been reworked to accommodate both in terms of consistency.

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!)
-Made volume adjustments to all smallarms reload sounds (bout 3db!)
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.... 



V1.3 Fix/Update

-Optimised 95% of the sounds for better performance (Numerous sounds left alone for immersion, ie; sniper rifles, reloads etc) 
-Reworked M240, Per forum request (More bass more chainlink action..)
-Reworked M249, per Pm request (Treble boost and sound modified)
-New M4sd, personal choice (I hated 1.2's version, so try this, and let me know!)
-New M2, personal choice (same as above, not enough punch in 1.2)
-New M9sd, personal choice (thought I'd see what you thought of this...?)
-New Sounds for Helicopter engines (all of em I think!)
-New Sounds for Aircraft (same as above! added more rumble..I live next to an airport!)
-New Gau 8 Avenger sound, forum/pm request (this is abit experimental, I'll explain later on the forums if people are interested.?)
-Reworked Cobra 20mm cannon, per forum/pm request (more realistic? tell me what you guys think?) 
-Possible smaller fixes I can't remember :$

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,
