(simply extract the files from the above mod into your @CSM2\Addons directory)

CSM2 is heavily focused on weapon and combat sounds.
When you are in the midst of a firefight our aim is that you will enjoy
immersion to the point where you are genuinely shocked & surprised.

Reference work is included with full permission from the original authors where
the standard is considered to be already at a level that significantly adds to
enjoyment of the game, with the benefit that it is tailored and balanced to
work well together with CSM2.

Lots of people are using on-board audio with software rendering - do yourself
and the industry a favour and buy a decent dedicated hardware sound card!
It will provide better quality audio and lower CPU utilisation and encourage
the game industry to take better advantage of hardware features, improve game
immersion and help prevent the "just good enough" malaise from spreading.

Features for ArmA 2:
G36 and G36K variant CQB reflex sight is available for all fire modes in
addition to the optical sight.
Use your weapon fire mode key (default F) to cycle sequentially through the
available fire modes:
Semi --> Burst --> Automatic --> Semi (CQB) --> Burst (CQB) --> Automatic (CQB)

Due to the way that the ArmA II engine handles muzzles, this feature treats the
CQB and normal views as having two separate magazines, i.e. starting with two
magazines of 30 rounds, you can fire 30 rounds while aiming with the optical
sight, then switch to the reflex sight and fire 30 more *without reloading*.
However, when both magazines are exhausted, you have to reload *both* magazines
before you are able to fire in CQB and normal views.
Historically, this was referred to as "the infamous ammo bug" in ArmA II v1.00
and the feature was subsequently removed by BIS in v1.01
This is feature is disabled for ACE2 when the client configuration file
directive is set.


Installation:
As we always recommend use mod folders, the structure of a @MAP folder is allready given in the archive.

Usage with @ACE_SM:
CSM2 works together with ACE2 @ACEX_SM and the default configuration is set to
override @ACEX_SM sounds as detailed below.
As both mod's are beta and still being developed, further support and changes
will be added.
To configure CSM2 to override ACEX_SM Weapon classes (default setting), the:

#define CSM2_ACEX_SM

statement is included in the client configuration file:

...\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\userconfig\CSM2\csm2_clientside_config.hpp

If you are using ACE 2 but do not use @ACEX_SM sounds, or you wish to use
CSM2 standalone or with another sound mod, then change the above statement
to a comment by preceding it with '//' as follows:

// #define CSM2_ACEX_SM

CSM2 will then no longer check for @ACEX_SM dependencies and will start
without the popup message.
