DougGraves Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 If not, there should be. I had to find 5 file cabinets. To find them I had to turn my sound way up, which made everything loud except the glowies which were just not as quiet as normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apparition Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Something changed back in a patch in February 2020 which significantly lowered the sound of glowies to the point that they are barely audible. I had to replace the sound of the glowies manually with a much louder one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ura Hero Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 There is also one in Modder that I put there that is a very distinctive ding that is louder than the original glowie sound. I made it for those that are hard of hearing or have trouble discerning which speaker the noise is coming from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Vee Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I'd be remiss not to mention that a proper glowie plays 'Peg' by Steely Dan. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why yes, yes there is. 😁 I changed my glowies to sound like a pack of laughing hyenas... it's pretty noticeable. PK's tool is the easiest way to go about it. Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds. Looking for modified whole powerset sfx? Check out Michiyo's modder or Solerverse's thread. Got a punny character? You should share it.

cranebump Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Not nearly as hard to find when I'm wearing the headphones. But I'm seldom wearing the headphones when I play CoH. I have done a TON of AE work, both long form and single arc. Just search the AE mish list for my sig @cranebump. For more information on my stories, head to the AE forum sub-heading and look for “Crane’s World.” Support your AE authors! We ARE the new content.

Mr. Vee Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 both of the 'random links' were to these very forums. it's not like they were [email protected]. basically you make a 30 second audio track, save it as an .ogg file using audacity or format factory, name it objective_loop.ogg and stick it in the data\sound\ogg\FrontEnd folder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KauaiJim Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 CoH Modder is pretty straightforward and there's quite a bit of stuff available at this point. There are I think two mods that increase the existing sound by 5 db and I think there are some other sounds available for glowies too. There are even a couple of sound files in CoH Modder for making demons sound like kittens and such. Worth checking out if you like changing sounds easily. All kinds of sound files in there. As mentioned it's a link to a forum post here on HC so it's legit (PK made it): CoH Modder - Tools, Utilities & Downloads - Homecoming (homecomingservers.com) If you don't want to go the CoH Modder route then making your own sound file and adding it into your directory should work (as Mr. Vee said). 2 Want to see my current list of characters?

Crysis Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 At some point I must’ve modded mine because all the glowies basically say over and over in a maniacal voice “OVER HERE OVER HERE OVER HERE OVER HERE...” and it’s uh....quite obvious where they are.

Then to waaaay to much time finding sound files and editing them (there are 46 sound files in the demon power set!), then testing in game with a few people. Was kinda a joke at first, that turned into a full sound mod. The idea being that as you summon the Demons you force them to act and sound like cats, than as the un-summon/die the revert to demons (was not going to add sounds of cats being hurt). Originally made for myself, I was convinced to upload it to the forums, then PK asked permission to add it to their Mod tool and I was happy to say yes. I have no idea if anyone other than a few use it, but was interesting to make, and is fun to use for me at least. I used Audacity (free sound editing software) https://www.audacityteam.org/ to edit and make the sound files as its easy to use, free and will output into .ogg file format. Oh and as an aside, the sound files in the game are super loud by default, one challenge was to make the new sound files loud enough to hear in game and not be distorted. Modding the sound files is City can be quite fun and an interesting project, some small with one or two sound files, some larger with 30+ files. Pretty cool that we are able to do so, and PK's tool definitely makes it a much more user friendly experience on the modder side and the end user side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
