The beeoing! The Beeping!

Alright when I type in game I hear a beeping with I type. I wonder is there a way to deactivate this annoying beeping sound when I hit a key in game?

Don't get it any other time just when typing in the chat box.

Edit...And it seems I made a typo lol. Meant to be beeping.

That's just the typing sound. It's designed to be there. It might be possible to replace the sound file with a silent one so you don't hear it anymore, but you'd have to know the exact sound file that's responsible for it.

I silenced the sounds responsible for the Portals in PI, but I followed specific instructions how to do it. I don't know enough about it to tell you how to fix the typing sound though.

I only know how to do it in Windows, so if you use Mac I'm not sure if this is the same process


Within your City of Heroes folder(the one with cityofheroes.exe in it)


Create the a folder named "data" (right click-->new-->folder)

within data create a folder named "sound"

within sound create a folders named "ogg"

within ogg create a folder named "FrontEnd"


within FrontEnd create a new text document (right click-->new-->text document)

open this in notepad and go to File-->Save as

Change save as type to "All Files"

name it "Type2.ogg" and save



Done, you have now created a blank sound file for that particular sound.

Hope that was understandable, I can provide pictures if it's too complicated in words

Have fun

With most versions of Windows (I can't confirm this for Win7), you have to make sure that "Hide extensions for known file types" is disabled, otherwise the resulting file will actually be Type2.ogg.txt (with the .txt extension hidden), and the fix won't work.

As long as you change the "Save as type" to "All Files" instead of "Text Documents", this shouldn't happen.

(Unless you're adding .ogg by right-click-->rename, then you definitely need that disabled for the .txt to show)

Also, this would only work if done while the game IS NOT running.

Yeah, my method would be Right-Click desktop -> Create New Text Document -> delete default name -> type new name. Since you just need an empty file, I wouldn't even open Notepad, so I didn't even think of the Save As dropdown.

EDIT: Even though you specifically said to open Notepad and use the "All types" option, it still didn't register to do it that way!

Or save with the quotes (IE, save as "Type2.ogg" - with quotes.) It does actually override it, whether the extension is hidden or not. (The quotes don't become part of the name.)

I did not know that. Thanks!

Noice! That is a quite useful piece of info.
