Changing Sound

There are 7 replies in this Thread. The last Post () by LancerDude.

    Hey guys,


    i am a big freelancer fan since it has come out and i replay it from time to time.
    Now i have seen your mod and gave it a chance. After some problems getting OpenSP to work, things seem to work and i have succesfully visited some bases in NY.
    The mod looks great and i am excited to play.
    However, there is one thing really disturbing me. Whenever you open or close a menu, there is a new sound and i would really love to get rid of it. Just after a couple of minutes i got annoyed and this is not the way to start a great mod like this.
    Since i will not play online, just SinglePlayer, i do not have to take care of anticheatsoftware and so i hope it is possible to delete/change this very sound.
    I hope you can help me so i can fully enjoy your great work.


    P.S. Maybe it is important, so a quick info. I installed this mod with settings as close to the original as possible. So old menu, old trent etc.


    Thanks a lot,


    Dude

    The opening closing menu sound isn't part of the Crossfire mod, is it? I'm pretty sure the Freelancer menus have always made that whooshing sound.


    *after some checking*
    I just checked and the menu sound has been changed a bit. The original is just the "whoosh" sound and the Crossfire one is the same sound with some computer beeps added. Here is how to change it back:


    Navigate to where Freelancer is installed on your harddisk: example


    Rename ui_motion_swish.wav to ui_motion_swish.wav.xfire [this is the Crossfire menu sound]
    Rename ui_motion_swish.wav.flmmbak to ui_motion_swish.wav [this is the original sound]


    I just did this and it works.

    i'm pretty sure, it's Crossfire specific. i remember feeling the same way as LancerDude at first. never looked into it and just got used to it after a while.


    Characters: SA_WHISKY and all simlar (SA_something_WHISKY)

    If you let the launcher update, it will reverse the changes so once you change it, try to avoid updating. [if you're only interested in single-player]



    Added: to avoid this, change the property of the files back to "Read Only"

    Just wanted to report back, that the launcher did not change this back after updating, even without setting the file's property to "read only". I successfully played MP yesterday with the old soundfile. And i have to confess, it feels like heaven compared to the new one :).
    Thanks again for the quick and proficient responses.
