I have personally never liked the sound effects for Beam Rifle. I have tried out another mod, and although it was a huge improvement over the original and I do believe that would be the better mod for some players; depending on taste, it just wasn't quite for me. So I did a little searching for sound bites and did a little mixing to come up with this new Sound Mod for Beam Rifle.
These sounds have more of a thump to them rather than a buzz (if that makes any sense) with a bit more bass, giving them a heavy hitting sound effect that makes me personally feel like my shots are hitting very hard. The longer animated abilities no longer have a continuous beam sound, but rather a rapid fire sound. I know it is not a rapid fire animation, but after trying it out, I find that it somehow works. I went to great lengths to time the sound effects to fit the animations and for those of you who prefer a hard hitting beefy sound, this sound effects zip file may be just what you were waiting for.
Just like my Peace Bringer Sound Effects "Hum" Mod, I have copied and pasted the instructions on how to install below. The Zip file is at the bottom of this thread. Enjoy!
Instructions (Destructions?)
First, unzip the file beneath the instructions and open the folder.
Find your City of Heroes folder and open it up.
(If you see a Data Folder)
Open the Data Folder.
Open the Sound Folder
Open the Ogg Folder
Open the Powers Folder
Copy all files from opened Zip file and drag them to the Powers Folder
Close all folders and restart game
(If you do not have a Data Folder or any other folder mentioned above!)
Inside the City of Heroes Folder...
Create a Folder and name it Data
Open the Data Folder and create another folder and name it Sound
Open the Sound Folder and create yet another folder and name it Ogg
Open the Ogg Folder and you've guessed it, create a folder and name it Powers
Copy all files from the opened Zip file that I have provided and drag all of the files to the Powers Folder
Close all folders and restart game
If you have some of the folders mentioned above, but some folders are missing, then create the missing folders and place them in order of how they are listed above. Once finished, copy and drag the files from the Zip folder below and place them inside the Powers Folder. Then close the City of Heroes Folder and restart the game.
Zip file is below. Enjoy!
