How to silence specific game sounds

I'm looking for the sounds used for the impact when Electric Melee attacks hit. Any help would be appreciated. I think I found it for Havoc Punch (elecmeleehit.ogg) but it appears to be different for every attack! ARGH!

I want to replace them with something more boomy and less buzzy.

Me too, the only clearly labeled one is the havoc punch sound.

What's interesting is there are all these electric melee sounds in here that I just never hear, and they sound so much better than the little " pzzt pzzt" sounds the attacks actually have in game...

WHY?

must... manually..correct..so I can.. stomach... elecmelee...to...32+...

Found one.
They're not in the same place as the other power sounds..
I'll keep editing this particular post until I find them all. Devs, PLEASE consider remixing the natural elec melee sounds so they all have some sense of bass and impact!
( do it for energy melee too while you're at it)

I guess we can't say where they are?

But..
to replace the really weak " pzzt zznt znnt" sound of Charged Brawl..
the path is
data\sounds\Ogg\V_Powers\elecpunch3.ogg
Havoc punc is
data\sounds\Ogg\V_Powers\elecattack2.ogg
Jacob's Ladder is
data\sounds\Ogg\V_Powers\TeslaShotgun.ogg
Thunder Strike is
data\sounds\Ogg\V_Powers\ElecThunderPunch.ogg

My current elec melee char does not have lightning clap or Lightning Rod ( she felt too NON-SUPER to continue until now) so I cannot verify what sounds are usef for them.

Note to devs: You included thunder and bassy rumble in the sound effects for the Mu attacks, why no bass or thunder at all in the elec melee? Why not "Crack of lightning" sounds, why instead a lot of scifi warbles mixed with a bug zapper? On protector my MM played 1-38 and encountered/teamed with only ONE elec melee who made it to 32.. I don't know what metrics show but how many elecs make it high compared to like... SS or EM or Stone? These powers are supposed to make us feel super..

I've since made some remixed sounds for my personal use that make my Elec melee brute feel like the ANGRY FIST OF M'FIN THOR like she should, and she's become 1001 times more enjoyable to play as a result.

And when I say she feels a lot more awesome, I'm saying she sounds like pure wonderful satisfaction with every crackling blow and it's booming thunder aftermath. No more or very minimized scifi warbles ( thunder strike anyone?. Thunder and lightning and arcing amperage.

Yay, thanks for the superspeed power sounds...I use a runwalk bind and that constant BZOOM! every time I moved was driving me batty.

How about the sounds for the various Energy Melee shield powers--startup and looping? (I rather suspect that Forcefield5 will be one of them, but any others...)

thankyou for the great guide, with this i can finaly make the Ice Armor stop poping (i think its water dripping, but CoH does something to make it very crackly.

Thank you. I did these but still get some more sounds. One sounds like a train.

Any other suggestions?

sound1\auto\Train_Loop is that one, still working on the humming.

I was hoping to get rid of *just* the wubba wubba sound, but it is the entire firing sound of psionic dart. I don't know why they use different sounds for the same power between CoH and CoV.

Something oddly fitting with your icon mixed with you using the term "wubba wubba"...

I tried replacing the force field bubble sounds to one of my favorite mp3s, but when my bots put a bubble on me the music only plays for about 6 seconds. How can I make it so that I hear the entire song?

Use an MP3 player?

I was able to solve this by replacing the Shadow Fall sound fx with that mp3 I like (for those who are curious, it is the Eve Online intro song) , it plays the entire song.

I hope people are still paying attention to this thread. I have found it SOOO useful.

I've got one that has stumped me now though, and it's driving me batty (literally, I have replaced my villans face with the bat face until I get this silenced)...

Can anyone help me figure out how to silence the power Shockwave? It's neat the first few times but it's really loud and annoying. I've silenced EVERY file with Sonic in the name, along with Repulsion, Resonator, and a few others.

Please oh please figure this out guys/gals. I have a villan who will die horribly if he doesn't quit making that horrible noise.

I don't have a toon with rage so if that isn't it, please let us know.

I was very happy to find this post. Then I became sad, as that doesn't seem to be silencing the Rage loop for me.

Someone, please help the weed of crime not to bear such bitter fruit!

I don't suppose anyone's found the whistle used for thug masterminds' summons? FWIW I think it's the same as the one that the scrapyarder foremen use to summon enraged miners. ^_^

I too would be interested in this one.

Has anyone found the loop sound for Chilling Embrace? (I'm interested in the Blaster version - not sure if Tanks get a different sound.) It's a nice sound, but gets awfully obtrusive after a while.

Thanks!

Please help me to silence the sound from Healing Aura/Twilight Grasp/Warmth. The high pitched ZING and the followup sound wobble. Tremendously annoying while playing a /Dark MM and spamming Twilight Grasp. Also very annoying on my /Empathy Controller. Definately gives me a headache trying to heal my fire monkeys. Thanks in advance.

I'm still hunting for the Warmth sound myself. I get the feeling it's a combination of sounds, but I don't seem to have the knack of sorting them out and testing properly to find the correct ones.

Anyone know what the sound file is for Icicles? I just got that power, and already it's driving me batty.

After a lot of hair pulling it turns out that the Rage loop is actually the forcefield5_loop

I guess the moral is "if in doubt silence Forcefield5_loop"

I've made up a little zip file with a silence.ogg and a batch file to copy it to all (I think) of the power sound files to give a starting point for working out what your particular sound file is.

There's a powerogg.txt file in the zip explaining what to do.

Please look at the .bat before running it because
1) You should never just run some batch file someone sticks up on the internet without checking it first
2) Looking at it will let you see what it's doing in case my instructions are incomprehensible garbage/misleading
3) It may just be broken somehow... horribly horribly broken...

When you work out what the sound is please post it back here for others.
If there is something horribly horribly broken in my zip please let me know. :-)
