Real Handmortar, European and Japanese Matchlock Sounds
Attention:
This mod has changed sounds of FotS breechload_rifle weapons, so please dont use it once you are playing Boshin-related games. Instead, I will recommand you using the Tibbs’s Real Rifle Audio mod!
———————————————————————————————–
At first, this mod replaced sounds of the arquebus in the vanille game file with the sounds of real Japanese matchlocks, the socalled "tanegashima matchlock", which I have sampled from the first linked Youtube Video.
As the sounds of Japanese matchlocks are quite different from European ones, I decided to add European matchlock sounds into this mod as well. The source is the second linked Youtube Video. Now Portuguese Tercos and Imported Matchlock Ashigaru are using these sounds. For this, I have created a new type of projectile, european_matchlock, which have only different gun_type from shogun_matchlock.
Besides, though bearly used by players, I have taken sounds from the third Youtube Video to replace the vanille handmortar sounds, and the muzzle smoke has been added. At least it looks now cooler than before. This weapon is well known as "handgonne" in Europe, a prototype gun earlier. It did exist in Japan until 16th century before matchlocks, but had never been widely equipped.
With this mod, your matchlock units will fire with the most realistic sounds from realistic matchlocks, simply because they are really realistic 🙂 Enjoy
