I need some oil, grease, or somthing!

I'm tired of listening to my robots as they walk around - not only are they loud, but their noise frequently masks the sound of a "glowie".

 

I seem to recall that if you created a zero byte file, named it something specific, and put it in a specific directory that it would override the default sound for whatever (I used this on a Fire/Devices blaster - on the targeting drone - pre-ED). I would like to do this with whatever sound file is being used for the noise the robots make as they walk/run/whatever.

MM Bots stomping around was the very first sfx I ever silenced in the game, both in Legacy and here. The second was Demon Lt rawrs.

 

Sown and dirty, you need to create a /data folder in your CoH install folder (if it's not already there).  Within the /data folder, create a /sound folder and within the /sound folder create an /ogg sub-folder, and within the /ogg folder create a /feet folder.

You should now have a directory like this: /YourCoH/data/sound/ogg/feet

 

The two files you need to place in there are:

VFoot1.ogg

VFoot2.ogg

 

These sounds can be anything you want or just silence. You don't need a zero byte files, just a 1 sec file. I replaced mine with rubber duckie squeaks that are about half the volume of the stomps. You can create your own silence file or grab it from my thread.
