Updated for Stable B42.21
The big customizable and pack smoking update
Smoking straight from the pack works now! Sounds are built from separate parts so no two smokes are quite the same, and there's an in-game options menu for pretty in-depth customization if you so wish (defaults are all random).
Note: customization menu is only available for B42+ which adds vanilla mod options
The normal smoking sound effect for cigarettes and cigars is underwhelming. This mod adds new smoking sound effects for both genders which includes: a zippo lighter opening/closing, matchbox opening/closing, match strikes, crackling sounds and inhaling/exhaling of smoke for an immersive smoking experience.
----------------------------
Adds:
---------------------------- -Smoking sound effects for both matches and lighters which randomly play when smoking (female and male versions) -Lighter/matchbox effects depending on which you use -Lighter makes zippo opening and closing sounds -Matchbox sounds of retrieving a match -Match striking sounds -Sounds of crackling -Inhaling/exhaling of smoke
----------------------------
New in the customizable update:
---------------------------- -Smoking straight from the cigarette pack now plays sounds (B42 runs it through a separate system) -Sounds cut into separate parts (open, strike, crackle, draw, exhale) and put back together at random -The lighting sound no longer plays twice per smoke -Draws and exhales continue for the whole smoke on longer smokeables instead of stopping after one clip -Pipes make sounds now too -An in-game options menu: pick assembled/puffs only or classic, set puff frequency, zippo flicks & match strikes, lock to specific lighter/matches sound, ignition & puff volume, lid close and pipes on/off, plus a Preview button (main menu)
----------------------------
Suitable for:
---------------------------- -B42.21+ & B41 -SP & MP -Existing save games (add or remove any time) -Prefer the old single sounds? Set the mode to Classic in the options
----------------------------
Compatibility:
---------------------------- - True Smoking (Compatibility patch included) - HGO Expansion [B42 - MP]
If you're getting problems: Set the mode to Puffs only if running another mod that plays its own lighting sounds. Don't combine with mods that fully replace the cigarette smoking sound or the legacy Alternative Smoking Sound mod.
Smoking sounds gone flat, or missing? tick Debug logging in the mod options, smoke one cigarette, and send me your console.txt.
