radiofriendly Flag Sounds
Overview
This small mod package changes the sounds for flag events in an effort to be much more intuitive. For example: you'll now hear a whopping great alarm when someone grabs your flag, and a gentle notification when the flag is passed midfield.
Included are a 11 new lore-friendly sounds which are powered by two scripts: FlagAlert and a modified version of ImpCTFSounds (both used with permission of RockeyRex).

Background info
I've always found it rather weird how Legions handles flag sounds. I often heard a flag pickup sound, only to find out that it was a harmless pass or a friendly grab. Or I missed the enemy grabbing the flag because it cried wolf. This mod allows you to keep your eyes on whatever you're doing, while still staying aware of the flag. All important flag sounds have their unique (hopefully intuitive) sounds and this makes it possible to hear what's going on with both your and the enemy's flag. You'll also hear a new and distinguishable sound when you get the flag yourself.
By rule of thumb, all enemy sounds are pitched lower than friendly sounds. This makes them not too cluttered during normal play, but the difference is noticeable if a lot of them happen in a short time (read: when you need them).
The sounds aren't perfect and I'll probably improve them later on. You can, of course, interchange the sounds yourself after installation. All file names are self-explanatory for their function. Included sounds are:
Installation and use
If you have RockeyRex's FlagAlert and/or ImpCTFSounds installed, please remove them before installation to prevent conflicts. Simply remove the appropriate .zip files in the \live directory, or delete the files manually from \live\mods\autoexec.
After this, place the radiofriendlyFlagSounds.zip file in the \live directory and you're good to go.
