DESCRIPTION:
===================================================================================================

    "Command: We are sending tanks to your location"
    "Dispatch: Naval support is en route"
    "Find the target immediately; control out"

Do you hate hearing lines like this, again and again and AGAIN, during EVERY fight in Just Cause 3?
Whether it's a minor skirmish or major brawl, you are forced to listen to this dialogue hundreds or
even thousands of times during just one playthrough. The DLCs bombard you with even more of it. And
there isn't nearly enough variety to keep these lines sounding fresh.

If your ears need mercy, this mod is the cure.

All radio operators are now silent, both in the main game and DLCs. No other voices are affected;
just the dispatcher's response when your heat level increases or when reinforcements arrive. The
heat indicator itself remains unchanged, and soldiers requesting backup will remain audible.

This mod pairs especially well with immersion and difficulty mods, as you will no longer know when
to expect tanks, helicopters, and other reinforcements.

Only English voice lines are changed.


REQUIREMENTS:
===================================================================================================

Just Cause 3
DLCPacker by neam (https://videogamemods.com/justcause3/mods/dlc-packer-dlc-mod-tool/)


NEW TO MODDING JUST CAUSE 3? READ THIS:
===================================================================================================

If you have not done so previously, you must set up Just Cause 3 to enable mods (this only needs to
be done once; after that, you don't need to worry about it ever again)

My Audio Tools mod contains both an illustrated guide and no-fuss approach to doing this. You can
also find other guides online if you prefer.

In short, you need to set your launch options to one of the following (whichever works for you):

     --vfs-fs dropzone --vfs-archive patch_win64 --vfs-archive archives_win64 --vfs-archive dlc_win64 --vfs-fs

      --vfs-fs dropzone --vfs-archive patch_win64 --vfs-archive archives_win64 --vfs-archive dlc_win64 --vfs-fs.

       --vfs-fs dropzone --vfs-archive patch_win64 --vfs-archive archives_win64 --vfs-archive dlc_win64 --vfs-fs .

and you must then create a set of dropzone folders in your main game directory:

    C:\...\Just Cause 3

        --> dropzone
        --> dropzone_mech_dlc
        --> dropzone_sea_heist
        --> dropzone_sky_fortress

and finally, place the DLCPacker by neam in the three DLC folders. To enable mods for Sea Heist,
you must modify dropzone-scheme.xml, as this file is out-of-date in most DLCPacker downloads. You
can also just grab the updated version from my Audio Tools mod, which is much easier.


INSTALLATION:
===================================================================================================

1. Copy the contents of "Just Cause 3" from this mod to your main game directory (for Steam users,
   this can be found in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\Just Cause 3").
2. Run the DLCPacker from either dropzone_mech_dlc, dropzone_sea_heist, or dropzone_sky_fortress
   in your main game directory (any folder will do; you only need to run it once).

To uninstall, remove the added files and run the DLCPacker afterwards.
