Sound Design Overhaul - Borderworld

This mod started development right after the initial release of Earthbound, though you can trace it back as far as last year since I did make some sound replacements for certain in-game events in Xen & Interloper. Since then I've went ahead and added in 100+ new sounds to spruce up scripted sequences, in-game events, even going as far as to add in smaller details like the dead HEV bodies' suits shutting down after taking away their batteries.

Of course, none of this was possible without the generous help of Colonel Orange (who you can see as a co-author here) who helped with playtesting, feedback and even provided some ideas for certain scripted sequences that I'm sure you guys would grow to like and appreciate.

• Over 90+ Unique Sound effects
  
• Improved various scripted and non-scripted effects
  
• New Long Jump SFX (even includes some FVOX lines for the landing jets)
  
• New "Cold Open" Intro & Teleportation SFX
  
• Added in some misc. details for some items
  
• Brand new Soundscapes for Gonarch & Interloper (First 2 maps), inspired by Focal Point
  
• Replaced all Xen alarms with more appropriate ones from BM:BS
  
• Replaced 90% of all mechanical & Xenian door sounds (Sliding, Elevators, Survey Base Airlocks... etc)
  
• New SFX for the Nihilanth Battle, which changes between combat stages
  
• Redone Endgame Sequence (New Tower Island Explosion SFX)

Like the previous addon, installation should be as easy as subscribing w/o any manual installation so far, I've also included some dependencies that are required for the mod to work in certain maps, they include:

• A- Added in sound events not possible with soundscipt editing (prominent example being airlock doors)
  
• B- New Soundscapes derived from CitizenFive's Soundscapes+

The mod should be compatible for the most part with popular mods, however any mods that modifies the following maps (bm_c4a1a1, bm_c4a1b, bm_c4a3c) are partially incompatible.
So downloading the listed dependencies is highly recommended
It also modifies the following soundscripts, which include:

• game_sounds_bm_objects.txt
• game_sounds_xen.txt
• game_sounds_xen2.txt
• soundscapes_c4a2.txt
• soundscapes_c4a3.txt

Regarding Soundscapes+, it should be noted that with how BM handles addon priority, manual installation may be required
