Improved Right Channel Audio for Pistol Sound

It's highly recommended to back up the following files before proceeding with this mod.

This modification replaces the default pistol sound in GTA V, ensuring that the sound is played properly through both speakers. Other mods often leave the original sound audible on the right speaker. This issue is addressed by replacing the pistol sound within the WEAPONS_PLAYER.rpf and weapons.awc files.

IMPORTANT NOTE: OpenIV may occasionally corrupt the weapons.awc file, preventing the game from starting. To resolve this, replace the corrupted weapons.awc with the original backup, launch the game, and then reinstall the mod.

Installation Instructions:

1. Navigate to WEAPONS_PLAYER.rpf (located at x64> audio > sfx > WEAPONS_PLAYER.rpf) and open it in OpenIV.
2. Enable edit mode.
3. Drag and drop the ptl_pistol.awc file from this mod's folder into OpenIV.
4. Next, navigate to weapons.awc (located at x64> audio > sfx > RESIDENT.rpf > weapons.awc) in OpenIV.
5. Create a new folder on your desktop or any desired location and name it accordingly.
6. Right-click on weapons.awc and select 'Export to openFormats (.oac)' from the context menu.
7. Choose the folder you created earlier as the export destination and wait for the process to complete.
8. Open the folder you created previously.
9. Navigate into the 'weapons' folder within that directory.
10. Drag the 0x0F4DFCD5.wav file from this mod's folder into the 'weapons' folder and replace the existing file.
11. Then, drag the 'weapons.oac' file back into OpenIV. This will import the entire 'weapons' folder and .oac files, recreating the weapons.awc file.

That completes the installation process! Enjoy the improved pistol sound!
