[GM++] Step FX Extra

Description
This is a module for GM++. It will not work without it.

This addon is compatible with Draconic Base (DRC) footstep sets!
Subscribe to this addon first, then any DRC footstep sets; or, if you're already subscribed, make sure this addon is on the bottom in your Workshop addon list in Steam > Garry's Mod > Properties > Workshop menu!

If you have DRC installed too, make sure you subscribe to it first or move it to the bottom of the list so that it loads before Step FX Extra instead!

If you don't do this, you will run into errors or missing footstep sets in GM++!

What does this do?
GM++'s Step FX module spices up the existing Source Engine footsteps by allowing the user to use other step sound packs, adjust step timing, and add some basic effects like shoe scraping and landing sounds. But it doesn't address some core issues with Source footstep sounds:
  • Steps do not play once you start moving slowly enough
    • VERY noticeable if you have a "realistic movespeed" addon or use GM++ Inertia
  • No swimming sounds (in Garry's Mod, at least—other games may implement it)
  • Traversing stairs does not affect step timing, so it feels like you're floating up stairs

This module aims to solve these problems, to make footstep sounds more immersive and realistic.

Settings are available to customize under the GM++ > Sounds > Step FX Extra module. Please note that Step FX must also be turned on for Extra to do anything.

Q: Can you add support for X step sounds?
A: No, but you can add your own! You have two options:
Since GM++ currently does not have documentation its native functions, you should probably use DRC. This carries the upside of being compatible with both GM++ and DRC.

Q: Can players select their own footstep sound packs, like with e.g. Draconic Base?
A: Not right now, but I'd like to support that in GM++ at a later date. Currently, the setting is server-wide.

I have a problem!
Leave a post in the support thread for assistance.

I very much doubt it. disable Step FX and Step FX Extra and try to reproduce it.

also, please post in the error reporting thread.
