Alternative Atmosphere: Ambience Overhaul

Description
Waiter, waiter, more dense drones please!
GMod Version zomg!!!!!!

A horror focused redux of the majority of environmental & ambient sound effects in HL2 (and some stuff from the episodes) for a more liminal feel. Completed with a variety of sources, such as:
DOOM 3, Dead Space, F.E.A.R., S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Metro 2033, Cry of Fear, Silent Hill, Quake 4, POSTAL, Manhunt, Peripeteia, PARANOIA, HL2 Beta, Total Chaos, Raising The Bar: Redux, Signal Lost, Hard Life, Left 4 Dead 1, and Underhell Also yoinked some stuff from Horror Ambience , Hell Chant , Fanmade HL2 Beta Ambience, Gmod Sound Overhaul Project , Enhanced Audio Resources , and 600+ Sounds

It's about as close as I could get to making the ambience feel like DOOM 3 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s, either way I'm bored of HL2's vanilla ambience, and those Alyx and Beta replacements just weren't doing it for me, I wanted a best of all worlds
You'll be hearing some weird noises here and there

Most credits go to the original sound designers, Mellish for ripping stuff from Dead Space, and Yoru for inspiration. I simply edited and revised everything for replacements I deemed fit.

I know the addon is nearing like 800 mb now, but that's because nearly every sound (from HL2, HL2's Episodes, and CS:S) is being accounted for and replaced.
If you are getting icky icky no good screeching sounds delete the sound cache in the game's directory & the addon's directory.

I'll see what's doing it later, also next time you hear a funny sound, quickly type "snd_show 1" into console so I know what sound is being fucky <3

Yeah right after the Hunter fight in the room with the catwalks on the way to the silo, once all the Hunters are dead there was just this constant thundering stomping everywhere. It ended when I removed the mod.

Hunter stomping? None of the npc sounds are modified, though I'll check the Episode 2 levels again, since I've tailored sounds for them anyway

Is there supposed to be a ton of really loud Hunter stomping during the White Forest infiltration?

Perfect with the Kleiner episode 1 "The sun is leaking" Addon.

Try deleting the sound cache, then do snd_restart in console after you launch the game. This issue doesn't happen to me, homie

The steaming pipes are loud high-pitched static, even when I unpack this into my custom folder.

Those just add soundscape .txt files and don't replace any actual audio files, so yeah

will it work with "more ambience nova prospekt and lowlife" addon?
