📋 About This Mod

###Laser Silencers###

Have you ever wanted to branch out into energy weapons and watch your enemies disintegrate into piles of dust while sneaking, but been unable to because they make too much noise? Well, be frustrated no more!  Laser Silencers is a simple mod that adds the effects of a silencer/suppressor to the Gyro-compensating Lens and Quantum Gyro-compensating Lens on regular and Institute laser weapons. This has been extensively tested to ensure that the sound of the weapon firing does not draw more attention than the sound of firing a suppressed 10mm pistol or hunting rifle.

So far I have been unable to locate the attribute that calls for the actual sound file played, so I have been unable to swap the sound the player hears with a quieter one like suppressors on conventional firearms do.  However, I felt like this was something people might like to take advantage of before I get it entirely squared away.

This is the first mod I've ever published, rather than just making for myself, so feedback and/or suggestions are appreciated. Even rude ones. I'll just grin that someone bothered to send me a message and promptly delete it. I especially appreciate endorsements, as I base my entire value as a human being off of whether or not people like my mods.

Future updates are likely to include a swap of sound effects for suppressed energy weapons fire(CHECK!), the creation of the suppressor as a separate mod rather than just being tacked onto an existing mod, and potentially affecting other energy weapons as well.

###Update 12/15/15###

So I finally figured out how to make the silenced shots sound different than the regular effects and added 3 versions of my mod. Now there is a sound where silenced lasers are truly silent (the default mod), one where the effects are replaced with the sound of the Alien Blaster pistol and one where the sounds are replaced with the Gamma Gun sounds effects.  I don't have the audio sampling/composing talent nor tools to try to make an awesome sounding custom effect, but if you do and want to take a crack at it, I will happily include it as an available version on the site with proper credit and cross-linking to your custom content.

Be sure you only download one version, since whichever you load last is the only one you'll get the effect of anyway.

###Update 12/16/15###

Okay, first of all big thanks to user chimpoforevah for pointing out my glaring lack of sound replacement on the Institute Laser Rifles. The pistols worked fine so I never thought to test them. That has been resolved, and I apologize to any of you (3 of you I think) who downloaded a flawed version of the Silenced file. For some reason, The version I uploaded was referencing a different audio file than my original file, so even laser pistols didn't work.  Th
