Minstanex is too loud - zypresse - 03-21-2012
So, we played several minsta-duels now (btw: nice model for the minstanex) and found, that the soundeffect of the primary minstanex fire is really loud, which is not bad by itself, but it overshadows pretty much everything else.
In duels this is quite obstructive, since you have a hard time hearing, what your opponent is up to (aka. can't hear him spawn
)So, what do you think about reducing the volume for it and/or make the sound less bulky?

You can reduce it by yourself in the sound menu. Just reduce weapon sounds as you would like to .

jep - same here ..
the sound is to loud to hear the respawn or the movements of the opponent ...
But maybe we Minsta players are to sneaky for the dev.s

Not a good fix if it's objectively too loud. Especially if compared to other weapon sounds. In that case the defaults should be revised.

i support what zypresse and -maniac|Su- said! the minstanex is way too loud and the sound lasts too long. thus, no respawn can be heard.

thank you

You could also use the default nexgun, which looks great imo: http://88.198.17.137/_files/Pk3/zzz_minsta_defaultnex_v2.pk3
RE: Minstanex is too loud - Mr. Bougo - 03-24-2012
asy7um, does that include sounds? Anyway this would probably be considered cheating, because it replaces models and such.
RE: Minstanex is too loud - asyyy - 03-24-2012
You are right, I updated the link to the version which includes sounds. Well I thought that zypresse is a server owner, if he likes the model he can make it default on his servers. He would have to repack the updated default minstanex model (after it got fixed) and "force" it on players anyway, otherwise those with git and autobuild would have an advantage.

Sorry to bump this thread. Does this still persist?
Personally, I dont find it too loud (it seems to be slightly louder than the nexgun).

Also, please provide feedback in the relevant dev tracker ticket
