I would like to change the QW sounds with the Q3 sounds because the Q1 explosions are too loud. I find the Q3 much more pleasant to listen to. Is this ok, or you would get kicked in some servers due anticheat, unpure pak files like it would happen Q3, unable to participate in some tournaments or anything else?

See if this is something for you: Moon[Drunk] sound pak?
Made it a long, long time ago for the same reason you mentioned.

But could you play all tournametns with that? I don't want to get kicked.

Ideally I would just use the Q3 pack but a comment says its banned in leagues.

This stuff isn't allowed in the leagues though I think?

Hi, officially its not, but I use it for Spectating. Sounds are more relaxing imo.

Some custom items have been included over the years to pass the model check.
I don't know about this one, but the easiest way to find out is to download the sound pack, use "ruleset smackdown", join a server and type "f_modified +check" in console.

If you get a reply "all models OK", you're good, otherwise it lists the changed models and these are disallowed (just delete the pack again then).

Is there a list of items that are ok so I don't have to download the stuff and test it myself?

Allowed sounds in torunaments are very limited. If my memory serves me well:
* Mindgrid audio pack
* alternative Mega pickup sound

and thats it.
never argue with an idiot. they'll bring you back to their level and then beat you with experience.

the sounds from the official remaster are allowed too (although bugged in the current version)
unfortunately theres no wiki page or anything for seeing what is and isnt allowed, you have to look at this file:
https://github.com/QW-Group/ezquake-source/blob/master/src/fmod.c

you can type
f_ruleset check
to see what players are using
f_ruleset
on its own will explain what the letters mean
can also do
f_modified
to check just ur own models/sounds

in casual games you can use whatever sounds and models you want even if they dont pass the modified checks, but if ppl complain i guess thats on you.
In tournaments the rules usually require you to pass those modified checks though..
