Finding and Replacing Sounds

First of all, I realise that there is already threads dealing with the issue of silencing sounds or replacing them, however I have yet to find a solution to my particular problem. I understand how to silence or even change a sound by renaming a .ogg file and putting it in the right folder, the problem I have is that for some reason (which I think is due to me having Windows 7) is that there is no sound or even data file in my CoX directory even though it was installed to the default location.

Apparently I could just make a sound folder myself, which would be fine if I wanted to silence sounds as I could make a silent file for that easily, however I want to replace certain sounds with pre-existing ones (specifically some of the Sonic Attack sounds with, say, Energy Blast). Because I cannot locate the sound files for energy blast, or any other sound for that matter, I cannot do this.

So, what I am asking is if somebody could provide me with a (understandable) method of allowing me to find the sound files so I can copy and rename them. Any attempt to help will be much appreciated.


I can't be bothered to think of something amazingly wise or witty to show how much of a genius I am, just take my word for it.

Unfortunately, any discussion of the method to find the sounds you want is not allowed on these forums.

See A note on viewing pigg files.

There was a website that had a big list of the names used for sounds, but it appears to have been taken down.

The game does not create a 'sound' folder.

When a user creates their own as described in the How to silence specific game sounds thread, those sound files will take precedence over the in-game sounds.

Zombie Man compiled a list of the sound file names and their folders here. As far as I know, this is not a complete list, but ones that were mentioned in the thread to date.
