Hi everyone,
I must say, I'm surprised that my contribution isn't dead in the abyss of that forum!
Thank you SGT.Alex for your kind words, and to others to have interest in looking at it a little bit deeply.
I have to say that as I'm not a sound engineer and don't have any qualification in this, this is amateur work.
About sources, the only recording I made is the jeep and sherman engine, as in Normandy, we have hundreds if not more jeep rolling around the bocage in between may and june, each DDAY anniversary.
For the vocal part, it's actually from Watchtower sound mod, I forgot to delete it as I was trying to understand how to have custom one working, this is a mistake.
For the guns, they're in fact from non-copyrated videos of guys shooting guns, and then I added a bass sound and a mechanical sound too.
Those two sounds were from only one sound mod that was for Combat mission: battle of normandy, that was ok to use. I modified only those by playing with the EQ in Reaper to make some differences.
This is the same approach for the Tank guns, but this was a different sound mod free to use but I forgot which one…
The sad part could be the plane engine and tanks… Planes are from IL2 STURMOVIK sound mod but I don't recall if it was NCR or not. And tanks were each one from Men Of war Assault Squad 2 sound mods, and as many of those soundmod or gameplay modifications or even maps add sounds to have the ambiance working, I lost track of what I've found and done.
I ended working on it, since my test version of reaper, ad most importantly, Cool Edit Pro 2.1 (for the loop thing, called cue points if I remember correctly) have ended, I can't do anything more, apart downloading a cracked version, but this is not my type of thing.
As said previously, this pack needs some work to be as close as possible to good at least. This is free to use and modify, free for the devs if they want to pick something in it or whatever.
I totally understand the issue of knowing the sources, and as this was at the beginning only for me and a friend, I didn't keep track of where I found the sound for sure. There is no list of such thing. But I knew this could be a problem even for a free mod like FH2 and I tried my best.
I bought a former pig house, transformed in a house here in the bocage near La Haye du Puits, and I'm not going to play FH2 for a long time.
I hope people who likes this pack, will continue to and even more, will enhance it. I'm not too optimistic about making it official even though, FH2 sounds are "old", never been too updated and this was the reason why I tried to manage something that would keep me in the mood of playing it.
Have a good time,thanks for the interest, and may FH2 live for the longest time possible, historical accuracy is awesome in this mod (Omaha and Pegasus are the best!)
