Custom Weapon Sounds

Overview

The Custom Weapon Sound Loader system enhances the audio experience in GTA San Andreas by allowing to customize weapon sounds. This system loads sounds from the ModelExtras/audio/weapon directory and supports newly added weapons seamlessly.

Setup

1. Directory Structure:

   • Navigate to ModelExtras/audio/weapon in your GTA SA directory.
   • Create a subdirectory for each weapon you wish to customize. The name of each subdirectory should match the name of the weapon present in WEAPON.DAT or in the .txt file if it was added without replacing via modloader..

2. Supported Audio Formats:

   • Supported formats for audio files are .ogg and .wav.

3. Sound Files:

   • Inside each weapon's subdirectory, place the following audio files:
     • shoot: Sound played when the weapon fires.
     • reload: Sound played when the weapon is being reloaded.
     • swing: Sound played when the weapon is swung (if applicable).
     • hit: Sound played when the weapon hits a target (if applicable).
     • projectile: Sound played when a weapon projectile is fired (if applicable).

Examples

• Inside AK47, place the following files:
