Removing attack sounds?

[RedOrb]

Hi all,

Is there any easy way of removing a sound from an attack? When you change a unit's missile art, it also changes the referenced sound files, and I just want to be able to mute that if possible. I guess I may need to duplicate the attack file without the sound references, but I've never done it so would prefer if there's an easier way..?

There is a way.

Combat - Attack # (out of 1 and 2) - Weapon sound - <SOUND>
to
Combat - Attack # (out of 1 and 2) - Weapon sound - NONE

Thanks, but it's already set to none

Those fields only work for melee attacks. If you're using a missile, you have to nullify the sounds related to that missile's model, which will be the sounds played when the attack is launched or hits.

Thanks man. But while that seems obvious Kaerf, the practical solution is not ._.

Do you still want to preserve the sounds of the missile for other uses? Because this method will remove the sound completely.

Create a blank .txt file, and rename it so that it changes into a .wav file. Open your Sound Editor and locate the sounds related to your missile. Right-click those sounds, choose Replace Internal Sound and pick the .wav file in the window that opens up. This will change the original sound file into a blank one which plays no sound.

Ah Thanks Kaerf. How did you learn all this ._O

• Reading other people's responses to other threads, especially those problems I've never faced. Try solving them too.
• Lurking in the Tutorials and Resources section, there's lots of interesting stuff if you know where to look.
• Trial and error while making my own maps, whenever I find a problem.

Kaerf, please can I try some of your own creations?
