Description
# EXPBG Ambient Sounds
By M.Pac and K.Edgar - Version 0.1.0
Place EXPBG Ambient War Sounds from Game Master's Systems category during a mission, or use the same prefab in World Editor. Choose firefights, explosions, mixed battle, randomized episodes or complete jet flybys. Set intensity, spread radius, audible distance, volume and running duration. Pause, resume, move or delete individual emitters; optional debug statistics help diagnose activity.
Sounds originate at varied world positions around the placed module. Shared voice limits, cooldowns and quiet breaks keep the scene controlled. This addon does not replace vanilla music, weapons or environmental audio, and does not create live projectiles, explosions, damage or AI.
Includes black and red physical radios: the GM selects radio static or one of two Apache recordings. Players do not change recordings. Requires only the base game; no third-party mod dependencies. PC release; console support is not verified.
Initial unlisted testing release. Native build, local playback/lifecycle, GM attributes/native restoration and dedicated-server late-join replication checks passed. Human listening/balance, visual GM interactions, cold-save reloads, authenticated peers and representative server/mod-pack load testing remain open. Native vanilla teardown diagnostics are documented separately.
