I was very dissapointed to find that Power Boost doesn't boost the damage resistance secondary effects of my Sonic Primary attacks. What gives?!?

Can anybody tell me how much damage Screech does? My builder indicates .56 Brawl Index, but another builder has something like 8! Which is it?

I've found that Sonic is very helpful in a team, especially when attacking bosses, but otherwise they're very weak.

Right now I have the glowie sound swapped out with a standard windows sound, which makes it much easier to hear. However, I'd like to swap it out with the Leave It To Beaver theme.

For bank missions I use Mission Impossible, which I think is awesome.

I considered using a loony toons approach to activation sounds. For instance, when my gun blaster fires his sniper rifle it makes a whoopie cushion sound. I think that would get kind of old though.

If I have the time I'm going to make my Rage activation the "I AM IRON MAN" clip.

You know, if anybody has any creative sound files that may work well for certain activations, please post a link.

You know, I have all these entered into an Excel spreadsheet (all sorted and filtered), but no way to post a link to it on this board. If somebody has a website they can post it to I'll gladly email them the spreadsheet. Let me know what your email address is via alphamailing@gmail.com

Oh, and for my Super Strength tank I need to get the sound of Arnold Schwarzenegger in Predator when he's calling out the alien. That would be good for Rage.

I'm going to have to check my lists and see if I know the files for these sounds.

For my Spines scrapper I may replace the Lunge sound (that goofy, sloppy, popping sound) with a clip from the Southpark movie. I'll just leave it at that ...

This is really helpful. I have a level 20 Ill/Kinetics that I'm so-so on because I've found that Siphon Power doesn't help my Phantom Army, which is disappointing.

I'm thinking about making a new Illusion controller. Does anybody know if I can lock a toggle on a Phantom Army guy? I'm considering Sonic as a secondary but I want to be able to lock the AOE toggles on one of my guys so that he'll reduce the damage resistances of everybody around him which is pretty much the same thing as Siphon Power.

Thanks for the help!

I used the Mission Impossible theme to replace the bank music. I love it.

Also, I used one of the Windows default sounds (like the ding, or something) to replace the glowie sound. Now it's much easier to hear.

I would absolutely replace the gun sounds if I knew the name/location (and played a gun blaster). I'd steal some sounds from Rainbow Six: Vegas, or something like that. Right now they're too wimpy sounding.

Any other cool ideas for changes?

After spending a couple hours, on two computers, trying to get this to work I must now fall on the sword and profess my stupidity.

CAN SOMEBODY HELP?

I created a "sound" directory under "data", then an "ogg" directory under "sound". I put my silent ogg file in the "ogg" directory. Here's where I get messed up. From the original post:

"You now have your base file location set. The sounds will be grouped in sub-folders inside the "ogg" folder. Each sound you wish to silence will go in a sub-folder. The name of the sub-folder depends on the sound."

What I don't get is this; will CoH automatically generate the sub-folders so that I can find the file that's making the annoying sound then replace it with my silent ogg file? If not, how on earth do I figure out what the file name and folder should be? What am I missing?

There are two things that I have which aren't standard: I'm installed to D drive and I already have a "data" folder because I have a mappack that used it and created a texture subfolder.

Can anybody help me here?

Thanks in advance.

I'm all for the Burn changes. OMG that power is awesome. I quit playing my Fire Tank because it was just so ridiculously overpowering. I felt sorry for the poor Blasters in my group that were barely hurting the bad guys as I roasted them all.

The thing that kills Ice, to me, is the number of powers you have to get. With Invulnerability it's just Unyielding Stance and Invincibility. That's it! That's all I've chosen with my Tanks and they are amazingly good at it.

With Ice you need a whole host of powers to survive.
