Wanna ask something because for some reason, a lot of sounds are missing to me from part 1, all of special sound cues are missing, the same goes for the witch too. Other thing it's the saferoom song that plays when you close the door, it's playing the normal l4d2 song like usual.

@YURI NATOR No, part1 has some sound changes, part2 some other sounds changes and it goes on. The only issue is that if you don't have all the 4 parts, all the sound changes in the showcase video will not work. I had to split in 4 parts because of the maximum file size.

@miotojptx Thanks for remaking it! Added it to the description!

@ManoRusso
In an attempt to fix some of the issues in this addon, I made a remake.

@ManoRusso
I GOT IT! The soundfiles that were slowed down were in stereo instead of mono! The game is so old that it doesn't treat stereo audio files like normal people and only accepts mono files!

You don't need to do the sound.cache thing.
Just convert all of your new soundfiles from stereo to mono , make sure that you export them as such in 44.1k sample rate (project rate) and 16-bit rate (again, 10-year-old game that doesn't use 32-bit rate like a normal person). You can do this easily using Audacity, which you probably have used a lot before.

I'll be looking forward to playing this game with this mod in its full capacity!
miotojptx 16. juni 2021 kl. 8:50 
Nope. That's not it either.
miotojptx 16. juni 2021 kl. 8:28 
I tested this on Audacity and it seems that the sample rates are actually fine...
It could be an issue regarding soundcache.

"Build sound.cache for the addon using in-game console: snd_buildsoundcachefordirectory ../left4dead2/addons/<name of VPK addon folder that will be packed into a VPK>. This command will search for a directory called sound and create a file called sound.cache within it."
-Vavle dev wiki

Maybe give that one a try?
miotojptx 16. juni 2021 kl. 8:14 
I tested the bacteria sounds. It turns out that the sounds are in fact playing, but some of the sounds, especially spitterbacteria, are slowed down. This seems to be an issue regarding sample rate of your .wav files.
Reddit seems to have had similar issues and had solved it using Audacity:

Hi ManoRusso,
I've looked into the vpk files for you addons. It seems that there are unnecessary or somewhat disorganized folders within the [Part 1] addon mainly:
"zombat", "terror", "pzattack", which are filled with 1KB sound files that do not play any sounds,

"undeath", "the_end", which contain the same sound files from the original, with "the_end" containing a much quieter version of such, and

"st_music", which contain sounds that are too quiet for the players to hear.

If you either remove or reorganize the aforementioned files, I feel like you would be able to bring forth your vision of horror better, since we are experiencing custom sounds that are not playing when they are supposed to.
miotojptx 14. juni 2021 kl. 4:11 
Yea most of the audio except for the saferoom, tank, and main menu aren't working....
'Heide  [ophavsmand] 15. mar. 2021 kl. 8:22 
@miotojptx I did that sound pack video haha. It's Ok to repost my stuff, it's just nehh that he didn't give the credits to anyone, but that's ok. Thanks for letting me know :)
miotojptx 15. mar. 2021 kl. 1:50 
I don't know who made the sound pack for the Youtube video, but this person may have copied your addon to augment with something else

Sounds like if Resident Evil and Cry Of Fear had a sound-child.
King Of The Family 25. juli 2020 kl. 13:00 
Was looking for main menu 1 theme
Carius 25. juni 2020 kl. 13:40 
I seem to be having the same issue as @DarthAlvarez. So far, menu music, saferoom music, and the tank music work just fine, but the bacterias, player dies and everyone dies sounds don't change - I'm hoping you find a fix for it soon, I really like the sounds you've used, you've got a real grasp for horror audio!
Mushie03 5. maj 2020 kl. 19:26 
this sounds like it resident evil craters made it
((WOLVES)) Drake Seraph 20. apr. 2020 kl. 12:56 
@God Of God Main music 2 is resident evil 4 save theme. Main Menu 4 is Resident evil 5 end chapter theme. Hope this helps.
King Of The Family 20. apr. 2020 kl. 8:38 
id like to know the songs you used for the main menu. i did ask as you can see but i didn't get a reply is all
King Of The Family 19. mar. 2020 kl. 11:12 
yo what songs did you use and edit for the main menu themes?
'Heide  [ophavsmand] 2. mar. 2020 kl. 13:26 
@Porco Rosso It's "Death of a small sanctuary [slowed]" from Sillent Hill series :)

And I don't even have L4D1 here. I'm sorry.
Smormu 2. mar. 2020 kl. 10:42 
Hey does the credits roll song have a name? And Is it possible to also make it for the L4D1 campaigns?
'Heide  [ophavsmand] 25. feb. 2020 kl. 15:41 
@Frale00 100%
Frale00 25. feb. 2020 kl. 15:40 
dude are u serious?
'Heide  [ophavsmand] 25. feb. 2020 kl. 14:37 
@yea but i mean the music or theme idk. Tell me what this mod replace to the special inf.
It doesn't replace any special infected sounds or themes. Actually, this mod mutes the special infected theme.
Frale00 25. feb. 2020 kl. 12:35 
yea but i mean the music or theme idk. Tell me what this mod replace to the special inf.
'Heide  [ophavsmand] 24. feb. 2020 kl. 16:01 
@Frale00 This pack don't change the special infected sound, you should try "Commom and Special infected with Dying Light sounds" from "Evil Banana".

And some music are muted to give the game a better horror atmosphere.
'Heide  [ophavsmand] 24. feb. 2020 kl. 15:59 
@F Thanks bro
Frale00 24. feb. 2020 kl. 14:25 
so i was trying the sounds of the special infected. I didn't hear any of the sounds. are the sound replace the alert sound?
Inoi 24. feb. 2020 kl. 14:19 
Hm, pretty good :47_thumb_up:
'Heide  [ophavsmand] 24. feb. 2020 kl. 14:06 
@Frale00 Yeah. I had to split in 4 parts cause Steam Workshop doesn't allow me to send files bigger than 200MB.
Frale00 24. feb. 2020 kl. 11:50 
but it's MUST necessary download all the parts?
'Heide  [ophavsmand] 22. feb. 2020 kl. 15:52 
@{•C r X•} AnarKist On Edge The classical RE Saferoom songs are like "your calm momment in a scenario of dispair". Just love this awsome soundtracks.
FootlooseALAN 22. feb. 2020 kl. 15:49 
classic resident evil saferoom music? i see you're a man of culture as well
'Heide  [ophavsmand] 21. feb. 2020 kl. 23:08 
@DarthAlvarez I've made this mod in one day. I rushed 'cause I wanted to release the Horror 4 Dead Collection, which you can check in the description (there is a video there also).

I will not disappoint, I will start the development of the the full version soon. And I will probably change the infected sound to something more scary, so it might take a while to finish it.

But glad to hear you enjoyed!
DarthAlvarez 21. feb. 2020 kl. 22:57 
Alright, thank you. I thought the issue was on my end. I'll be patient for the later release. Really excited to hear the full addon in all of it's glory. Been a fan of the Silent Hill and Resident Evil series for a while and I'm really liking the preview of what's to come with this addon.
'Heide  [ophavsmand] 21. feb. 2020 kl. 22:55 
@DarthAlvarez There sis ome muted music like the special infected themes (when they grab you). This is a lite version of this mod, i'll make a version that changes the muted sounds to something else.

You can use vpk.exe to see what sounds i've edited :)

And I saw some bacteria issues that i'm trying to fix it, sometimes they play, sometimes they not. I don't know why but i'm looking for a fix.
DarthAlvarez 21. feb. 2020 kl. 22:50 
It appears that it isn't working for me. I've subscribed to all parts of the addon and I've disabled all sound addons I've had before, especially the ones that conflict with this. All I've heard change were the main menu music and some ominous chanting whenever I encounter a tank. Every other music is muted for some reason except for occasional ambient music. Not sure how to fix that.
