Half-Life 2 Deathmatch - Community for OldSchool Gamers - Forums / Useful Resources / Controlling DSP.Disabling Explosion Ringing (Beep,high pitch sound)

MINO Posts: 72	Explanation This parameter mod allows you to modify,disable any DSP sound this includes Explosions beeps for which sound effect I am going to focus this guide. There is a file which control DSP settings over the game called dsp_presets.txt,this is the one which i changed only for explosions,as well you can freely change other DSP sounds. Valve defines DSP as: -Digital Signal Processor, refers to the audio effects such as echoes, reverberation and similar which can be applied to currently playing sounds. DSP effects are automatically handled depending on the materials around the player, and can be overridden with soundscapes.

Requirements: ·Text editor capable to read RAW data,Hexadecimals editor for example Objective. Since much players find this disturbing while fighting or just by a reason of keeeping his ears healthy i got interest to investigate some way to control it,recently i found this method that works well on every server i found by my experience,hope it works and help many players around hl2dm community,Best regards MINO [ Edited Mon 30.Dec 2013, 00:48 ]

MINO Posts: 72	1st.Yes you need to install source dedicated server from tools ,for get this gcf.I will correct it thanks MAX 2nd.Yes its dangerous to modify this file,since if you remove something or you make a edit that isnt registered correctly by this file the game wont load or it will crash or wont behave normally. 3rd.Its safe you wont get VAC ban,Its just like having custom HUD files installed,this works in a simlar way 4thI think i should be more specific with that You have the modded file here at the attached link http://dfiles.eu/files/npgvtzthp OR https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9r4hxlxL-tbYUEwc2NyR2JkRWs/ you need only to install this file(dsp_presets.txt modded to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life 2 Deathmatch\hl2mp\custom\my_custom_stuff\scripts and Beep should be disabled(set to the specific value) edit i will correct them and i will put also a DL for default file. You can skip the "Changing code" section. BTw Hope it works and help to keep your ears healthy Regards [ Edited Mon 02.Dec 2013, 08:12 ]

You can find the required file there: /Steam/SteamApps/common/Half-Life 2 Deathmatch/hl2/scripts/dsp_presets.txt Maxtasy wrote ... Do you really think it's save to mess around with this file? I've seen something like that in q3 config files. :D QuAz wrote ... script noobs So much butthurt.

Maybe not Hammarn... Don't want to accuse anyone here. He just send a message to me and I can still see the chat on my phone and he said that it's a scam link.
