Remove sound from friendly dying

[Devon77]

Hi

 

After I finally bought a subwoofer I'm getting this high boom sound when a friendly die in battle, and it's just very annoying to listen to.

I found this link, which solves it:

http://forum.worldoftanks.eu/index.php?/topic/583223-09151-remove-annoying-sound-from-dying-tanks/

 

It requires a very simple change to the sounds.xc file. Any way it could be made in this mod-pack, so I don't have to remember it manually every update? :)

 

Thx!

Hey Devon77, nice find. You can use Aslain's "custom mods" folder to automate the sound.xc copying after each update.

Have you managed to find the way of lowering the volume of arty hits? It is driving me crazy.

[Devon77]

Hey Zzarac. I can't seem to find the custom mod folder?

 

Anyway, I haven't had so much luck in actually making this change work.. It seems to work in some games, but in other games it's very loud when someone dies.. I've changed the sounds.xc file, and changed it to true at the top, but ... ??

I haven't really looked for the arty hit, but good point. That bothers me as well as sometimes I think I've gone and died because it's so loud haha

"Custom_mods" folder resides in your "Aslain_Modpack" folder which is in the root game folder.

Pack your needed files (e.g. sounds.xc) into a zip archive with full path, and they will automatically be copied after the modpack installation has finished.

 

Here is Aslain's README file content for that feature:

 

Quote

This is special folder called Aslains_Custom_mods

It's feature is to install your custom made mods automaticaly via my installer.

To make it work simply pack your mod with full path (must begin with res_mods or mods) and put to this folder, then launch the installer as usuall and select the mods you usually install. Installer will automaticaly install your custom mods at the end of main installation.

One macro is available: version, to use it replace folder name with version. For example: res_mods\version\gui\.... instead of res_mods\1.7.0.0\gui\ or res_mods\version\gui\.... instead of res_mods\1.7.0.0\gui\

Note that supported formats are zip and 7zip only.

Yeah I found it just after making my post, sorry :)

 

Is it working for you?

[zzarac]

I am currently waiting for a 3D render to complete on my computer so I can start gaming. I will be able to test in about 2 hours :(

[Devon77]

OK cool. Good luck and hope you have a succesful test :) And good luck on the battle field

[Aslain]

Approved. I will try to use xml method.

[Devon77]

Cool, thanks Aslain :)

Awesome it works.. Thanks so much man!

[Devon77]

Seems not to be working no more.. Could you look into this, Aslain? :)

[Aslain]

Nothing has changed regarding file used in this modification.

[Devon77]

Don't know how long it hasn't been working for.. I've been gone on vacation for 10 days and just came back today and found it not working with new update.. Last I had was 1.8.0.0.03

 

Working for you? I checked it's still set in my installer

[Aslain]

I don't know if it's working, that dying sound was never a problem to me, actually I don't even know how it sounds :P

[Devon77]

Haha, well imagine sitting on an airplane and your ears haven't popped yed, so everything sounds kinda distant.. And someone dumps a big bag of potatoes and all you hear is a 'dump' on the floor.. That's the sound I Hear every time a teammate dies :(

 

And it's not working anymore.. Worked wonders in 1.8.0.0.04.. And I miss it haha :P

[Aslain]

That's very odd, since nothing has changed. :)

[Devon77]

Indeed... :(

 

Just as I find it very strange, WG keeps changing the file setup every update so nothing works after an update.. I remember when I used to do your job and update all these small mods myself.. It was a hassle!

 

Your work is appreciated very very much!
