Custom Sound FX

Now that we can customize the colors of our powers, wouldn't it be great if we could customize the sounds for those powers? How about it devs!?

First order of business would be a "Slide Whistle" option for all powers!

How to silence specific game sounds - which can be altered to "how to replace specific game sounds with something you want to hear instead", by using something other than the silent .ogg supplied.

That works, but only you will hear your customised sounds. I think he's asking for a more official way to do so. Like power customisation but for sounds rather than colours and animations. Which could be anything from really easy that whoever does the sounds could whip up in an afternoon, to full blown rebuilding the whole system like they had to for power customisation. And even then we'd likely get a preset selection of sounds to choose from, cause allowing the user to put in their own is not only way more difficult but also runs into issues with network traffic (there's a reason Architect caps arcs at something like 150k, and it has nothing to do with hard drive space) as well as opening up the problem of people setting their powers to sound highly offensive to others.

Still, I personally would love it.

It would be interesting. Not impossible. Would also help players create more comical or even more realistic matches with their themes.

Meanwhile, I've been recording/copying out other SFX from games and the like to make some cool replacements for Assault Rifle and Munitions Mastery, for example.

If you get into it, you can have a lot of fun replacing the SFX.

Complete customization? No.

My reason: I seriously doubt the devs want players mucking around in their files, which they would have to do in order to make that work. Bugs are created when THEY do stuff in their files. Imagine the chaos if players were allowed to edit sound files at will. The game would collapse into a buggy, unplayable mess within a week. The devs change a few files at a time....but players would be editing THOUSANDS of files every day. You can replace sounds on your end that only you hear, but that is in YOUR files. making it so everyone could hear it would require you to put in on the server side. I can say with almost complete certainty that THAT is something we will never be permitted to have access to.


Sound replacement with sounds already existing in the game? That I could see.

Have a War Mace character that carries a baseball bat and don't like the ripping sound War Mace has? Replace it with the sound a Blood Brother Slugger makes when he hits you with his bat. Stuff like that I can get on board with, complete customization with any sound you want just opens the door for a huge amount of problems.

So, /unsigned or /signed I guess, depending on exactly how far you want this to go.
