Opinion for "Clear Mod"
Comments
-
No need to remove those flashbang/fire-in-the-arsehole notifications, a separate sound level to make them less intrusive would be more convinient as they can be helpful. In case you didn't notice, you can tell who's tossing a nade by looking at the radar, the player emits waves, like when you issue a radio command:

If a player right behind you tosses a nade/flashbang and you suspect it might be coming your way, you can either:
1. Turn around to avoid being flashed
2. Run backward to avoid being frag naded
I do it all the time and it helps when there's too many tossing-happy nubs in the room

It's when I hear/see the nades, and am not sure where they came from, that I use the radio messages. -
Let me state right away that this is NOT a mod for game menus, fonts, styles, ect.
The basic idea behind this mod is to help the so called "competitive" players throughout CrossFire. First off the mod enables you to replace the original "kill marks" with pure blanks. This means that any icons that show up mid-game will not be seen and will offer no distraction.
Second, the mod will "mute" the unnecessary sounds that happen mid-game. This includes the sounds of when your throwing grenades, flashes, smokes, multi-kills, bomb drops, ect. This will offer as less of a distraction and give you a chance to hear more during crucial moments in matches.
Along with helping your competitive play, this mod is also good for the media makers throughout CrossFire. the mod removes the extra sounds and icons so that kills come out cleaner in the end result and there is less sound that you need to clean up.
This mod has been done many times before, its extremely simple to make yourself and many people I have talked to have done this already. Only reason I am going to release my own is so that people will always have a download available to get the mod quickly instead of wasting time to make their own. (Video will be made also.)
This mod will be allowed on WOGL and will not interfere with ScrimSpot and not give you any issues when playing matches. It will help you much more then it will hurt.
_______________________
First part said, I need some input concerning the sound files for the mod. As seen below, there are certain radio commands in-game that may in fact help during matches. I wanted to see community input as to whether or not I should be muting radio messages.
Z Commands:
X Commands:
C Commands:
I would rather have the radio messages left, sometimes they come in more useful during scrims then talking on Ventrilo, ect. Though I still want to get some opinions.
Killmarks - Yes, please delete those.
As far as unnecessary sounds, be careful what you delete. If you could post a clear list of what you'd be clearing, that would help a lot. Smokes, Grenades, Flashes, and Bomb Drop noises, are necessary. They are a clear part of the game.
Radio sounds should be left alone, they can be used for whoever needs them.
Good idea, but don't make anything 'optional' within the mod. Keep it at a standard, all the same, so nobody can blame the mod for an 'advantage' during competitive play.
