I'm trying to play them off as Starlings for my Birdman of Zigursky character, but the buzzing is making that a bit difficult.

Edit: Might as well as for the files or Call Hawk and Call Ravens too (not that I want to silence those, but others might.) Oh, and the sorta Thunderclapy sound when you get a stack of Pack Mentality.
Here are all the specific Beast Mastery sounds:

sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_CallHawk_Attack_01.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_CallHawk_Hit_01.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_CallSwarm_Attack_01.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_CallSwarm_Continuing_Loop.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_CallSwarm_Hit_01.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_DireWolf_WildCharge_01.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_FortifyPack_Attack_01.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_FortifyPack_Hit_01.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_Hit_01.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_Hit_02.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_Hit_03.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_Hit_04.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_Hit_05.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_Hit_06.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_Hit_07.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_Hit_08.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_Hit_09.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_SummonDireWolf_01.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_SummonDireWolf_Hit_01.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_SummonLions_01.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_SummonWolves_01.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_TameBeasts_Attack_01.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_TameBeasts_Hit_01.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_TrainBeasts_Attack_01.ogg
sound\Ogg\Powers\BM_WildCharge_Attack_01.ogg


I don't see anything for the flock of ravens attack. Perhaps it uses this:

sound\Ogg\CostumeChanges\MurderOfCrows_01.ogg

That would make sense, yeah.


Edit: None of these appear to be Pack Mentality's "thunderclap" (which I'm starting to think uses the same Hit sound as Electric Control's Static Field).

Does anyone know the name of the ambient sound the Dark Servant makes while it's around you? I searched the list for servant and didn't find it, I guess it may be a recycled sound I might want to keep, but just thought I'd ask .

Are you still looking for this? I know I have it silenced so I can look through my files and probably figure it out. I had to do it back when people liked to leave it on auto at the market. Heck maybe they still do but I don't notice anymore.

The sound is different for the different body types. I don't know if I have them all silenced, but I certainly got the ones that were problematic for me.

Might want to send me a PM if you're still looking for it. I don't check specific threads very often.

Edit: I have the following files silenced. I believe one or a combination are the Psy Shockwave sounds, or at least the components of them that I wanted to be rid of:

Player\FemTaunt2
Player\MaleTaunt1
Player\MaleTaunt2

I tried the location indicated in this thread -- blue_loop.ogg in "enemies" folder but that doesn't work.

any help would be greatly appreciated, my bleeding ears thank you
I had to find this one. My Warshade was driving me crazy with this playing for 10 seconds every time I zoned.

I've searched the thread and didn't find anything relating to the keywords, but it's possible I missed this anyway. . . how about the helicopter sound. When I'm standing next to Sutter or Statesman waiting for the TF to fill, the sound of that dang helicopter just drives me bananas.

. . . Tact is for those without the wit for sarcasm

Try these:

sound\Ogg\Helicopter\HelicopterMainRotor_Loop.ogg
sound\Ogg\Helicopter\HelicopterTailRotor_Loop.ogg
sound\Ogg\Helicopter\HelicopterTurbine_Loop.ogg
sound\Ogg\Tutorial\Tutorial_Helicopter_Loop.ogg

If you tell your zombie pets to all crowd on the top of the rotor axle, the sound becomes a lot more tolerable. Works for me, anyway.

Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.

There's an alarm that plays when you enter a PVP zone, and when you're close to certain robotic enemies (Particularly PPD and Longbow ones) that are about to die. I did a quick scan of the thread and didn't see it listed - does anyone know the name for that one?

Looked through the thread and didn't find it, does anyone know what is the sound for the Energy Cloak (Energy Aura) loop sound?

Alternatively, what do people use to view .pigg files in Win7 64 bits? I tried PiggViewer, but it's giving me a "missing MFC71.dll" error on startup.

From the first post in this thread:

NCSoft, Please reconsider your decision to close down CoH. It has an extremely loyal following and enjoys a great amount of free support from the larger community.

I invite everybody to add the above image to your signature as a petition to reverse NCSoft's decision.

I'm not sure if this goes against the rules of the game, or the rules set by the OP for this thread, but is it possible to replace soundfiles on your system with those of other powers? I'm about to make my 2nd Kinetic Melee toon. Part of the reason I stopped playing the first was because of the sounds. I could silence them all, but I would like my primaryset to not be mute, just have different sounds(thinking energymelee).

The way the silencing system set forth in this thread works I'm thinking all I'd need would be the names of the kinmelee powers and the .oggs of the Energy set. I'm not sure where to find those, if I'm capable with what I have at all. If anyone knows of this and could upload them, or PM me instructions that would be awesome .

The process for making a sound silent, or for making it an alternative, is exactly the same. The only thing that changes is the alternate file's content.

Yeah that's what I thought. Any idea where to find the name's of Kinetic Melee and the oggs of Energy Melee?

In desperate need of the name of the sound that happens when you use Destiny: Clarity. Not the "raaa" part but the seemingly never-ending whine. Thanks in advance.

I assume you mean Clarion?

yeah the whine is driving me batty (or rather to the mute button while I am on itrials, and I'm getting that one soon to keep my defender duo permanently unmezzable)

I haven't seen it listed anywhere here so I dunno; I apologize if it was.

There are two possibilities:

incarnate/Incarnate_Clarion_01
incarnate/Incarnate_Clarion_Continuing_Loop

I'm guessing it's the second that you are after.

Anyone know the sound file for Dark Melee's Siphon Life?

Love this thread. It allows me to enjoy energy melee and peacebringers without headaches.

Be well, people of CoH.
