Hi,
I'm writing a plugin which lowers map music and gun sounds. I managed lowering map musics and other players gun sounds but couldn't find a way to lower the sound of your own gun.

Can someone point me to the right way?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: For anyone looking for the answer: You can't do this in a nice way. Synchronisation would be off at best.

There is a round shape wheel look design on the speaker or somewhere along the cable.
Have you try to turn them around to clock or counter clock wise direction?

I think you have to disable player prediction. Gunshot sound is directly related to weapons. We can only control it from the server side by disabling prediction. But disabling it made the game a bit laggy

It is possible that it depends on the weapon though.

Thank you for this reply which is a waste of space and time.
If you were sincere while writing this, we want to hear each other speak, some maps at zombie escape has very loud music and when we use zr_ammo (unlimited bullets) weapon sounds are just unbearable.

I hope it is not like that :/, I tried it at my zombie server when "zombie hands" plugin randomly showed normal hands, it fixed the problem but very laggy game as you said :/

How about all of them?



As I said I managed to lower other peoples gun sounds but can't lower players own gun sounds

try to look through the datamaps for
- CCSPlayer - player
- CPredictedViewModel - predicted_viewmodel

It may be possible to block the event that causes sounds playback. Then you can play a quiet version (with a long lag because of no prediction)
I'm sure that the sound is tied to the weapon. Even if my ping 300ms, the sound plays without delay. Сlients weapon sound always predicts on the client side

Thanks, with the example about ping, now I understand what the problem is.

I'll try what you suggest, if it doesn't feel/sound good with delay, I'll just leave players own sound levels at normal and lower the rest.

Thank you everyone for the inputs.

setting "m_bPredictWeapons" to 0 on clients should disable weapon prediction , but the sounds will be delayed depending on ping and may cause other issues.
