Reverse the PB Sound Effect that was Recently Removed!

(Detailed Explanation)

 

Note: The zip file has been updated as of 3/20/2020

 

For starters, this is the "Hum" sound effect that was recently removed from the attack powers of the Peace Bringers. I was successful in undoing what was changed for those of you who were not too happy about the Sound Effect change, and created files to help you return the old Peace Bringer Sound Effects and set them up for your personal convenience. All "Hum" sound effects are now back where they were prior to the removal of the PB Sound Effects, with two minor alterations.

 

Now, this mod is not absolutely perfect, but it is very close. The Point Blank AoE's do not activate the Hum upon casting of the AoE powers, but rather require targets to be hit in order to hear the "Hum" sound effect produced by the two PBAoE powers. The reason behind this is because I only had the "Hit" files for those two powers, and not the "Attack" files. I am sure the attack files exist and if I ever find them, I will add those as well, but I could not locate them nor could I locate the sound bite for them; so the "Hum" effect is tied in to the "Hit" file instead. As long as you hit targets with your PBAoE, you will be none the wiser and it will produce the sound effect you have come to know and love. However, when standing alone and using the PBAoEs without hitting any NPC's, it will produce the same Sound Effect you currently experience in game today.

 

All of the other attacks work just as they did prior to the removal of the sound effects and have been successfully returned. You will be the only person who hears this, people around you will not hear the "Hum" sound effect. However, you will hear them not only from yourself, but from other players who are playing Peace Bringers as well; even though the other players will not.

I would also like to give a personal thank you to @Oubliette_Red for pointing me in the right direction and giving me a shove. If not for Red, I would have never been motivated to create this wonderful Mod for you folks! Thank you, Red! Much love!

Just noticed (after playing on a team) that the sound effect is a bit over powering. I'll be adjusting the volume of the sound today. Please stand by until next post before downloading. If you have already downloaded, it's no big deal, you'll just need to open the Powers Folder, delete the Peacebringer files and replace them with the new incoming zip file.

Update: Files have been adjusted.

Okay, sound effects of the "Hum" has now been toned down a bit on the volume. If anyone has any issues or feel it's still a bit loud, let me know and I can reduce them at any time.

Since my Peacebringer is still level locked at 14 (wanting to do ALL the contacts/content on my way up to 50) I could only test the Gleaming Bolt, Glinting Eye and Radiant Strike attacks in Human form, along with the Nova form attacks, and they all had the requisite Peacebringer "whine/hum" sound on them after importing the sound files.  I think the volume balance is in a good place since the actual/original sounds put a bit too much emphasis/volume on the repeating whine/hum sound such that it tended to drown out other sounds, but this volume balance is just right where it needs to be because it isn't so loud that I can't hear anything else.

Good deal. That's what I was hoping to hear. I can adjust the sound if it ever gets to be too much. Keep me posted! Glad you like it, @Redlynne. Thank you.
