Feature Request: b_old* - ala Q3, simple but cool

[Demanufacturer]

how about cvars like

b_oldthompson
b_oldmp40

simply to change to the oldschool rtcw sounds for the weapons

i remember hearing of soundpacks created for ET to change the sounds, but to implement this feature into ETPro would be cool and hopefully very simple to do?

basically a-la cg_oldrail etc in Q3

however there might be some distance sounds for enemies shooting either type of gun?

p.s. keep up the great work, etpro 3 is excellent

[KingJackaL]

lol, what's the bet if they changed the colt sound to the panzer explosion sound, everyone would use colt's more, and claim them to be more effective?

Lol oh well i might be fun but for competition ? and it laso need even more cleint side downlaod sise

[Spark2]

I'm pretty sure that's illegal.

[=FF=im2good4u]

I'm pretty sure that's illegal.

ya that aswell unless they are allowed to sue it like the original RTCW GIBS

[IdNotFound]

I'm pretty sure that's illegal.

Agreed. Bani got permission to use the gibs, knife sheep sound, "prepare to fight", etc. but I don't believe id/Activison/not-sure-exactly-who will give him weapon sounds...

Again, as mentioned, it would make the client download bigger, which is not cool, BUT, as I suggested before (and don't remember if there was any feedback), there could be some kind of digital signature on the sound packs for etpro (generated by bani/etpro team after approval, like they do (didn't see any yet, though) for league configs) which allows them to be used in competition... This would most likely be a pain in the ass to take care of, but a single rtcw soundpack and maybe a reality/"saving private ryan"-style soundpack would be more than enough.

the client download wouldnt increase by that much, the samples arent that big


and yes there are soundpacks available but they require a server to have them aswell

The RtCW sounds rock so i'm for it
