YBSM = Youtube Based Sound Mod

INSTALLATION: 1) Extract the rar file to your Armed Assault root folder.
              2) Right click your Arma desktop icon and go to properties,
                 add this to the end of your Target line: -mod=@YBSM
                 Check the Example.jpg
UNINSTALLATION: Invert the installation procedure :)
                Remove the added target line text and delete the @YBSM folder 
                from your Arma root folder

DESCRIPTION: All the sounds used in this mod were recorded from youtube movies, 
             real weapons and vehicles. 

CONTRIBUTE IN DEVELOPMENT:
             This is meant to be sort of an "open source"
             sound mod, so you can alter whichever sound you want (if you think
             you can make it more realistic) and upload the changed sound mod. 
             Just don't forget to notify others what you have changed and if 
             possible, add a video of your changes so people can decide whether
             they want to download it or not. And please label your uploaded rar
             with different mod version number. For example, if the latest version
             is YBSM v1.07.rar, you name yours YBSM v1.08.rar.

TOOLS:       Mod editing tools are included in this rar so if you wish to 
             contribute, please do, you already have all you need.

             If you need good and free sound editing tool, here is one:
             http://www.webtalkster.com/KISS_free_wave_editor.htm

             After you finish editing sounds, you can upload your work on one of 
             the file hosting servers, for example:
             http://www.mediafire.com/
             or RapidShare: http://rapidshare.com/
             or you name it. Just google for: "file hosting".

HOW TO EDIT?

1) Use Unpbo to decompress the mod's addons.
2) Use WSSFileConverter to convert wss2wav
3) Replace existing wavs with ones you like (has to be 44,1kHz, mono wave file)
4) Use WSSFileConverter to convert wav2wss
5) Use MakePBO to compress changed mod directory back to pbo

Additional: Use Laza to read, change and save config.bin or .cpp files.
            Alternatively, use Eliteness to decompress pbos, convert them to bin files,
            edit and recompress/rapify (NOTE: I had problems using Eliteness, so 
            I recommend using Laza, but you're free to try).
            You can use unRap to convert config.bin to cpp, user-friendly files.             
            (That's just if you like those file types better).
            For creating pbos within Arma standards(signing pbo files) you need to
            use Cpbo. For more information about this procedure read this:
            http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Addon_Signatures
            None of those are needed, only necessary steps are those 5 above.            


I must not forget to give credit to guys who made ModernWarSound mod, which I
used as basis for this one. Thank you for lighting the way!

Enjoy one of the most realistic games there is (and please try to improve this mod
                                                so we can all enjoy better sounds)!
