Hey folks, after working few weeks on the update, v1.3 update is finally here! We have exciting updates in this update!

Firstly, i would like to talk about SFX Quality Update in v1.3

MetaAudio for Half-Life: Restored

In this update, we'd like to introduce MetaAudio. MetaAudio is better replacement for EAX. Big thanks LAGonauta for letting me use MetaAudio in Half-Life: Restored.

MetaAudio basically is a Goldsrc sound plugin enhances in-game sound experience.

MetaAudio gives you:

• Sound positioning (HTRF)
  
• Distance attenuation
  
• EFX effects
  
• Voice communication
  

What's the difference than original Goldsrc?

• FLAC and OGG support
  
• Occlusion support like A3D
  
• Fade between environmental effects
  
• Hardware acceleration (with X-RAM support)
  
• Significantly lower audio latency (especially if used with hardware acceleration)
  
• "Unlimited" heap size for audio
  

MetaAudio comes enabled by default in Half-Life Restored. So you don't need to do anything extra. Now let's see what's changed in v1.3 update!
