Trixies British Weapons - Fix

Mod File
@trixie_britishweapons
    > trixie_l7a2.pbo

Bug Report
There's an error in the mod which cause the following messages to be written to the .rpt files when the L7A2 is used:

Error: Failed to open file a3\sounds_f\weapons\closure\closure_rifle_2.wav
Cannot load sound 'a3\sounds_f\weapons\closure\closure_rifle_2.wav'
Error: Failed to open file a3\sounds_f\weapons\closure\closure_rifle_3.wav
Cannot load sound 'a3\sounds_f\weapons\closure\closure_rifle_3.wav'

Cause
de-pbo of @trixie_britishweapons:

config.bin contains multiple instances of these lines:
   closure1[] = {"A3\sounds_f\weapons\closure\closure_rifle_2.wav", ...};
   closure2[] = {"A3\sounds_f\weapons\closure\closure_rifle_3.wav", ...};

By examining
  \addons\sounds_f_weapons.pbo
it can be seen that the sound files being referred to are actually in .wss format, not .wav

This error is not present in the other weapons contained within the mod pack.

Solution
Change lines in the config.bin file to
   closure1[] = {"A3\sounds_f\weapons\closure\closure_rifle_2", ...};
   closure2[] = {"A3\sounds_f\weapons\closure\closure_rifle_3", ...};

What Next?
- Trixie has stated that he will not be working on these mods any longer so we cannot expect an official update
- The files have been made open source and a license to modify granted to anyone that wants it

If we change the file we will need to:
1) publish the altered mod (on PlaywithSix? in a "3CB mod pack" that we host?)
2) bisign it

1. Should we do this?
2. How?

Comments from those with a knowledge of mod making/publishing required please!

Cat and myself have been discussing this...

And I've been discussing similar issues with Bravo (16AA) on this thread 

Can we lay out here what we need to change I think we need to get a feel for what needs to be done.

1) Trixie - L7A2 - Sound Config issue
2) Hafm UK Vehicles - Jackal - Suspension PhysX fix
3) Kiory L85 - Sound Fix (already available here) Bisign issue ASDG compatibility
4) Trixie - L85 UGL - No proper sights
5) A3MP - Millions of errors (not even sure we can fix em!)

5)....
6)...

5) A3MP - problem; lots of RPT errors. Solution use correct AiA version with corrected most up to date config including lighting and terrain fixes here



It works well, got Clafgan working etc + Zargabad, Takistan etc
