Hey guys, im back with a question. I've been trying everything to change the weapon sounds of weapons but i cant find a very "precise" tutorial on how, and most are outdated. Do i need VPKs? Do i need to rebuild the game solution in Visual Studio after sound replacement? Do they have to be in WAV format and does the sound files need to be a certain length of time? Long story short, can anyone please tell me a very precise tutorial on replacing sounds on mods! Thanks!
