"Sounds instead of Crew Voices" Adds Back Radio Static At Death

[Stevoni]

Note: I'm testing these configurations with this replay I randomly grabbed: https://wot-record.com/replay/233497/jalava72_t_100lt_rigged_gun_see_for_yourself

 

When I select "Remove annoying sound from destroying allied/enemy tank" the radio static no longer occurs. Configuration attached as "No Static"

 

When I add the "Sounds instead of crew voices" sound mod, the radio static returns. Configuration attached as "No Static with Simple Sounds"

 

A friendly dies ~50 seconds in to the game.

Sounds instead of crew boices and Remove annoying... are not working together, they change same file, one mod will overwrite another. It was always like that, and is not limited to just to this mod.

What file do they modify? Can I merge the file manually?

Thanks, I finally have a chance to try this out.

 

You're right, I updated this file: [World of Tanks install location]\res_mods\1.22.1.0\gui\sound_notifications.xml

 

Changing these two sections:

  <event>
    <name>ally_killed_by_enemy</name>
    <chance>100</chance>
    <fxEvent>expl_ally_NPC</fxEvent>
    <cooldownFx>0</cooldownFx>
  </event>
  <event>
    <name>enemy_killed_by_ally</name>
    <chance>100</chance>
    <fxEvent>expl_enemy_NPC</fxEvent>
    <cooldownFx>0</cooldownFx>
  </event>

To:

  <event>
    <name>ally_killed_by_enemy</name>
    <chance>100</chance>
    <fxEvent></fxEvent>
    <cooldownFx>0</cooldownFx>
  </event>
  <event>
    <name>enemy_killed_by_ally</name>
    <chance>100</chance>
    <fxEvent></fxEvent>
    <cooldownFx>0</cooldownFx>
  </event>

 

Is there a base file that this modified file is derived from?

I will think to make this automatic. I usually don't do that, because it's like making 3rd mod from 2, but...

 

Currently mods based on sound_notifications.xml are delivered hardcoded in this file, and not as auto-patcher of the original xml.
