📋 About This Mod

The name of this pistol is annoying, because it's the same as the DC15S Carbine used by Clone Troopers, except the 's' at the end is lowercase. In fact here's the Wookieepedia page: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/DC-15

I've attached two videos, one showing the vanilla firing sounds and one showing the modded sounds. Please forgive me if the sounds are a little muffled or otherwise different, I believe my Steelseries Sonar or recording software settings may have something to do with it.

In any case, this mod replaces all the Sidestar sound files which contain the word "fire" in them, excluding the files which contain the word "reload".

IMPORTANT: If you haven't already, place these two lines at the top of your StarfieldCustom.ini (located in Documents\My Games\Starfield):

bInvalidateOlderFiles=1

sResourceDataDirsFinal=

I'm currently planning the following replacements as well (no promise on timeframe):
