Homeworld Remastered Sound Fix

Description
This mod restores some weapon sounds, mostly for HW1 ships, to more classic incarnations, WITHOUT USING THE LOSSY HW1 AUDIO. It also fixes the mothership/carrier/shipyard point defense guns using incorrect sounds. Additionally, it removes the beeping noise from resource collectors and research ships!

If you find any problems, see something else that could use changing, or have any feedback at all, please comment! This is my first mod for Homeworld and I want it to be as good as possible.

Enjoy!

Full list of changes:
- Light Corvette, Heavy Corvette, and Multigun Corvette firing sounds changed to a light frigate gun sound, the closest I could find in the HWR audio files to the classic corvette gun noise
- Hiigaran Gunship, Hiigaran Gun Platform, and Vaygr Gun Platform firing sound changed to match HW1 corvette sounds
- Looped beeping noise removed from all Resource Collectors and Research Ships
- Fixes firing sound for Motherships, Carriers, Shipyards, and anything else that uses point defense guns (e.g. mobile refineries)
- Changes main menu background music for the Homeworld Remastered multiplayer menu to what it originally was at launch (same as the HW2 Remastered menu music)

I finally got the mod working again! If it's still not working for you, unsubscribe from it, then resubscribe. Enjoy!

I totally agree... unfortunately I just haven't had the time or motivation to fix my HW mods :/

Any chance of updating this? HM1 sounds are way better than HW2 IMO. Appreciate your effort in this.

Yes, I don't suspect any of my mods will work properly in 2.x, and I don't know when I'll get around to updating them. Sorry.

The mod seems broken as of 2.0 (or is it 2.1 ?) version of HW:RM. I didn't try it before though.

No. All the changes I made were for the purpose of bringing the sounds in line with the HW1 sound design, which I personally liked much better than HW2.

Interesting mod, I've tried to do it in mine but I'm never sure about what sounds to use,
because I have found several versions of the same sounds inside remastered.
I wish we had an fda file player that woul make things easier.

Does this also restores some of the sounds for HW2 to its classic equivalent?

No, there's nothing I can do about that. That's most likely a bug in the game code, which is beyond my ability to fix.

any chance you could change the sound glitch where if you perma dock fighters, the sound of their engines still goes on even when you go away from the mothership? if I pause the sound goes away but then if I zoom in on the mothership when its still got ships inside the sound comes back even if I go away from the mothership/carrier. Thanks, this is a great mod :)
