Dead Island Infected SFX for Dying Light Virals

Disclaimer!!!!!! 

It is expected for virals & even volatiles to have no sound after installing this (momentarily). After reopening the game many times (less than 10?) they'll sound normal. It was like this for me at least, they were mute until I reopened it many times, adjusting things to see what caused it. Maybe it's the game preloading the new sound effects or whatever I really don't know

Unimportant tangent: I even modified hdr_snd_groups.scr, which I forgot to include in Data3.pak before playing, but then, virals started making noise. So I really assume it's the game adjusting to the new sound list from infectedscreams.scr, or, whatever. I've no idea man

Hi this mod makes Dying Light's virals sound like Dead Island's infected. It brings all of their sounds to DL! (Except vomiting and eating SFX)

Did you know? Male DL Virals have only 2 sounds for dying and taking damage. Male DI Infected have 8 death and 6 pain sounds. Crazy difference. Only issue is I can't add new sounds to their sound banks, so I gotta repurpose some, maybe even take sounds from female virals and put them in place of male virals'. As a result this made organizing an absolute mess, like: Dying Light female virals have 5 death sounds, but Dead Island female infected have 7. So I repurposed female_falling_00, 01 and 02 (unused SFX) and got them to work as new female viral death sounds. Crazy part: It actually works I'm astonished

If you have my other mod, Dead Island Walker SFX for Dying Light Biters, this mod won't conflict! Except for the last file mentioned below, which you can edit yourself as it isn't included here

Many Many thanks to Dying Light CSB Extractor for making this Videogame Modification possible!! It's so dam good, I heard it's getting an update soon? Bro I can't wait actually (As I'm proof-reading this on the 10th of August, 2026, it's out!!!)

all_in_maps_2.csb (Dying Light\DW\Data) - DI infected sound files. Make a backup if you later want DL's original sounds. Without the file below, virals might sound a little funny, not sure but having infectedscreams.scr installed is recommended. I say that cuz I don't even remember what sounds I replaced it's all disorganized

infectedscreams.scr (Dying Light\DW\Data3.pak > data/ai/infected ) - Controls what sounds play during actions, including drowning. Repurposes viral SFX so they have the same amount of sounds as DI infected, such as infected_male00_crouching_00 and 01 to be new death sounds. I believe those are unused as I couldn't find them anywhere in infectedscreams.scr nor hdr_snd
