Re-Uploading the mod is NOT permitted!

Whot does it do?

Using a very old audio system, Arma 3 has no means of making sure that environment sounds don't overpower shooting. Until now! The mod "simply" reduces the volume of ambience sounds when shooting depending on weapon size and distance to the shooter. This gives the shooting sounds room to shine and results in a cleaner mix.

Noteworthy things

The mod can be configured and enabled/disabled via the CBA settings menu
The mod should support all vanilla and most mod weapons that inherit from vanilla classes.
If you're unsure if it's working (for your (mod) weapon), enter
L_envDucking_debug = true
and check if it displays debug messages when shooting.
The mod works in mp and can theoretically run clientside
Explosions will be added once the new event handlers make it into stable

Hello, where can I get this blur effect you have when you shoot on the video please ? thanks in advance

@Sunbather the way to do this is compress the sound, a great app to do this is Dolby Audio driver (which is tied to certain motherboards) or Dolby Access in the Microsoft Store (only for headphones). The latter says its Dolby Armos but its also compression and EQ

Curiously, I have the opposite problem. I find the ambient sounds way too quiet, so I have to ramp up the volume to enjoy them. But as soon as I get into a shootout my ears get blown away. Does anybody know of a mod that actually increases ambient sounds?
I know of some mods that make your own gunshots quieter (TPW Mods; ACE) but this only applies for your own weapon and it doesn't sound natural either. And then there are mods that make the whole game quieter (earplugs) but here the ambient sound also gets quieter.

Just went through the code of both ACE and this mod, and I don't see any reason for incompatibility. ACE doesn't touch the environment volume at all.

Hey, God of sound ;P

- Can you confirm the latest comments about incompatibility with ACE?

- Running this alongside with your "Enhanced Soundscape" has chance of reducing FPS?
