Soundscapes+

Description
Reworks the game's soundscapes, aka. ambient level sounds.

The DSP (reverb) mode for most soundscapes is now set to automatic like in Half-Life 2, instead of the preset modes that were being used previously. This makes reverb and echo effects more accurate and audible across the board.
Some soundscapes now have additional random noises that play where appropriate - for example, gunfire mixed in with alien noises in the tunnels of later Earth chapters, and Vort/Controller voices and alarms in the Nihilanth's tower. Also, some areas now benefit from extra looping ambiences, like the flooded tunnels in On A Rail, which previously had no water-related ambience, and the Nihilath's tower, which now has a faint heartbeat.

NOTE:
-Subscribe to this mod before any custom campaigns or map mods that replace vanilla soundscape files, like BMS Classic Power Up.
-This mod has been optimized exclusively with the base game's maps in mind. Map rework mods like Chapter Overhaul and BMS Classic may still work with this mod, but I can't guarantee compatibility or a proper listening experience with custom campaigns.

I cannot for the life of me reproduce this audio bug. Regardless, I've adjusted the respective soundscape so that it shouldn't happen now (maybe)

It's great, but the bug on blast pit when starting up the generator is very painfully loud and needs to be fixed, until then i don't recommend it

there is a bug this mod causes when starting the Generator in Blast Pit. as soon as the generator is started it sounds like an atom bomb is going off and the audio blows out entirely until you leave the area.

How'd you make FAF look like that?

Do I just click subscribe or do I have to put these in a folder manually somewhere? I tried subscribing to a bunch of mods but none of them seem to work.

This is very cool addon, and very important. Ambient sounds adds to atmoshper and even lore.

Could be an issue on my end, but the generator in Blast Pit is earrapingly loud.
