Description:
This mod modifies all sounds with a lowpass filter and a bitcrusher effect, transforming the sounds into an experience reminiscent of early digital audio.
Inspired by this video, every sound, from ambient tracks to combat effects, has been processed to evoke the feel of old consoles or early PC games like Half-Life.

Features:
- []Audio overhaul using lowpass filtering, bitcrushing techniques and downsampling the files.[/]
Recommended Mods:
These mods are heavily recommended if you truly want the PS1 aesthetic, without them this mod seems kind of pointless-
[]128x Texture Pack by Scouter408 – Downscale textures for a cohesive retro visual aesthetic.[/]
[]Dusty Distance Redone by ToiTuCreuses (Creepy option) – Amplify the eerie atmosphere with enhanced environmental effects.[/]
[]Revelation - Lite – Classic Fallout UI mod.[/]
Patching:
Here's a link to the .bat script I made so you can make your own patches to mods
Instructions:
1. Install FFmpeg as the script requires it. Download from ffmpeg.org, extract it, and add the bin folder to your system's PATH so it's accessible from the command line.
2. Now to change the destination folders open the .bat file in Notepad and edit these two lines near the top:
set "INPUT_DIR=C:\original"
set "OUTPUT_DIR=C:\degraded"
Replace C:\original with the folder containing your audio files, and C:\degraded with where you want the processed files saved. Make sure the output folder exists.
3. Run the script. A command prompt window will open and show a progress bar as it processes each file.
4. Wait for it to finish. the window will display "All files have been processed." when done. Press any key to close it.
Installation:
-
[]Download and extract the files.[/]
