Thank you so much :-D

Does this still work? I can't find any .ogg files.

You've got to make the folders and add the "silence" file to the right folder for it to work. All the files are invisible.

Right now, my folders look like data/sound/ogg/V_Powers

and inside that is psionicmindprobe2.ogg, which is my silence file.

Silences it right up, but there's only 1 actual file there for me.

Anyone know the file for the machine gun sound of the Crab Spider's Longfang attack? Thanks.

Found it. It uses the same file as Assault Rifle Burst.

Description: Crab Spider Longfang power activation
Folder: Weapons
File: Assault3.ogg

I need to disable the activation sound for Mind Over Body. However, I've played every single sound that's in Powers and V_Powers and none of them seem to be it, but maybe due to human error I skipped over something by accident. Can anyone help me out?

regen4, regen8, regen8b, and resurrect (as well as a couple of other powers that had resurrect in the name) were all close but had subtle differences and when disabled didn't really do anything.

Oh wow, thank you so much! But if you don't mind my asking I have another question. I'd like to know if there's a way to get rid of the sound the police scanner make when someone near you is looking through it.

How do you shut down that annoying artic fog sound for corruptors and ice defenders. That is driving me NUTS !!!


The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.

If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-

I believe that's sound/Ogg/Weapons/PPD1_loop.ogg but I haven't double-checked it to confirm.

That was covered earlier in the thread. The search tool is your friend.

Edit: A quick look in my folders shows I have sound\Ogg\Powers\cold_loop.ogg and sound\Ogg\Powers\fog_loop.ogg both silenced...I'm guessing those are what you're after.

Dominator/Psionic Assault: Psychic Shockwave

I believe I've narrowed this down to some combination of:

sound\Ogg\Powers\aura3.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\aura4.ogg
sound\Ogg\Player\FemTaunt2.ogg
sound\Ogg\Player\MaleTaunt1.ogg
sound\Ogg\Player\MaleTaunt2.ogg

but I don't have a /Psi Dominator high enough to test it.

Confirming Supernumiphone's finds:

Psionic Assault: Psychic Shockwave
Player\FemTaunt2.ogg

Cold Domination: Arctic Fog loop
Powers\fog_loop.ogg

Hero Police Scanner
Weapons\PPD1_loop.ogg


And some older requests:

Plant Control: Carrion Creepers
Sewer\Tentacle7.ogg

Dark Miasma: Tenebrous Tentacles loop
Powers\tentacle_loop.ogg

Did anyone figure out the annoying peacebringer loop sounds? when running shining shield and stuff?

Peacebringer: fly, shield loops, dwarf attacks (the continuous hum/whine, not just the peaceeyes1.ogg activation)

I finally got tired of them :

[u]peacebringer : all shields toggles[u] (including photon seeker loop)
Powers\glow6_loop.ogg
Powers\glow9b_loop.ogg

[u]peacebringer : fly/hover[u]
Powers\flight2_loop.ogg

[u]peacebringer : photon seeker loop[u]
Powers\glow6_loop.ogg
Powers\glow9b_loop.ogg
Powers\elecZaps_loop.ogg

[u]black/white dwarf toggle[u] Not sure of this one, I did it for the shade, and the pb version also went silent.
Powers\WarshadeDwarf2_loop.ogg

Cool thanks for the info. I think I maybe having a problem with vista and it not working. I put a bunch of silencing files in place but it seems like I am still hearing the sounds. has anyone had problems with this and vista?


 

Posted

Let me guess, you installed City of heroes in C:\Program files ?
If yes, you should really move the game elsewhere, vista has a stupid protection with this directory.

Also, get a look here, You'll find something similar to your c:\program files :
C:\Users\<your account>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\

Ok....I got some of the Portal Corp portal sounds to go away. Not all though. I used the files listed on page 2 of this thread. It is better...no doubt. Nowhere near as loud now. I actually think I can stand it now.

I got the one second of silence recorded and saved no problem. I named it "silence".

But here is a problem I ran into right away:

*You are not making any changes to any files owned/installed by CoH*. Simply put: if any of the following folders already exist then you or a 3rd party put them there. You or the 3rd party would need to handle it on your own.

- Open the "City of Heroes" folder and create a new folder called "data".
- Open the "data" folder you just created and add a new folder called "sound".
- Open the "sound" folder you just created and add a new folder called "ogg".

[/ QUOTE ]
The first thing I noticed was that a folder called "data" was already in CoH and I didn't put it there.

I took a chance and created a "sound" folder inside that one and a "ogg" folder inside the "sound" folder. That's where I put both the "Peregrine" and "tech" folders for the silence file to go. It seems to have KINDA worked so part of this must be right.

I used...
Peregrine\reactor1_loop.ogg
Peregrine\reactor2_loop.ogg
Tech\Room3x_loop.ogg
Tech\spacemachine1m_loop.ogg
Tech\spacemachine1_loop.ogg
Tech\Teslaroom1_loop.ogg
Tech\Teslaroom2_loop.ogg
Tech\Teslaroom3_loop.ogg
Tech\Teslaroom4_loop.ogg
...in the two folders respectively.

Perhaps the names have changed since that post? (it is an old post)

Later in the thread, NeonMan has the best Portal Corp sounds list. (Teslaroom3_loop.ogg is not used.)

Auto\Train_Loop.ogg

Peregrine\reactor1_loop.ogg

Powers\Rumble1_loop.ogg

Tech\lowpulse2_loop.ogg
Tech\spacemachine1m_loop.ogg
Tech\Teslaroom4_loop.ogg

Thank you! I'll try it.

Worked like charm! I put a Van Halen song called "Take your whiskey home" in as a substitute....sweet.

I just got the power "Ice patch" for my new archery/ice blaster, and after a few days i have had my fill of the wintery wind sound the ice patch makes, I find myself not using it sometimes just cause I do not want to hear the loud winter noise for a while anymore.

I did a search here and ended up trying to silence it with both cold_loop.ogg and fog_loop (found out I already had fog loop silenced from earlier, heh) and neither do the trick. I tried searching this thread for "ice patch" and didnt find anything.

Could someone please enlighten me to the sound name for the Blaster secondary power ice patch please?

I'm looking for the voice clip (both male and female) that plays during the activation of Unstoppable (it is also the same sound as the generic Tarzan emote).
