Muted Sounds - Combat  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: r18
by: sp00n [More]

******
I don't play anymore, you should check out this addon instead:
http://www.wowinterface.com/download...alversion.html
******




Updated for 4.3.4


This file removes all* combat sound files from the game so that you can clearly hear your addon sounds (and also boss speeches!).
I tried to filter out all boss emotes and speeches/events in this version. Mistakes may happen of course, but I'm quite happy with it.

If you want 100% muted ingame sound, check out the other file here.


Installation:
Extract the .rar into /Data directly so that you have a /Data/Sound directory.


* Note:
It may not remove 100% of the combat sounds, especially if Blizzard decided to add a new spell or alter existing ones. Some sounds are pesky little buggers that hide somewhere else. If you identify them, let me know, and I will add them to this file.


This mod was inspired by silverwind's Bossmod Sound Fix (while game is muted). It does however not rely on files with zero byte content but on "real" muted valid sound files (ogg and wav). The zero byte sound files gave me problems while playing addon sounds, where half of them just didn't play.
I don't have this problem with valid files.

Changelog:
[r18]
- Blizzard partly reversed the changes in 4.3.3 for patch 4.3.4. Happy times.

[r17]
- Patch 4.3.3 required a rather significant update

[r16]
- No more Deathy burping sounds!

[r15]
- The fishing bobber sounds were accidently muted in the last revisions. They are now audible once again.

[r14]
- Identified and added 114 WAV sound files, which WoW now seems to prefer over OGG files.

[r13]
- Added a few missing files.
- File now available again on WoWInterface

[r12]
- Updated to patch 4.3.2. There might a few bugs.
- File wasn't available on WoWInterface

[r11]
- Updated to patch 4.3 final

[r10]
- Updated to PTR patch 4.3

[r9]
- Removed Druid of the Flame death sounds
- Removed Druid of the Flame scorpion transformation sounds

[r8]
- Updated for patch 4.2

[r7]
- Updated for patch 4.1
- Removed the Singing Sunflower sounds

[r6]

- Removed new RockWorm sounds (Pebble, Corborus)
- Finally found the Valiona&Theralion Twilight Zone sound!
- Hopefully found the Cho'gall phase2 sound!
- Removed the sound emote from Nefarian's Dominion spell (heroic mode only). He gets kind of spammy there.

[r5]

[r4]
- Updated for Cataclysm!
- Re-enabled a sound file which is used by Deadly BossMods

Of course "Enable Sound" has to be checked, and as far as I know "Sound Effects" has to be enabled as well, or you won't hear any boss speeches etc.
I haven't specifically tested this in a raid, but at least the NPC greetings won't work if "Sound Effects" is unchecked.


I did notice however that Ambient Sound seems to magically enable itself during a Dragon Soul raid (most times on Ultraxion), so make sure you're checking that it's really disabled.

I have no idea what you're talking about and/or what error you're seeing. A little more info please.

// Edit
Just went there, noticed nothing problematic.

I don't know if this is specific to my computer, but it was driving me mad that I couldn't hear anything during boss encounters, and disabling the option proved to be a reliable fix so far.

I have no idea for that sound file, it doesn't seem to be a new file alltogether but rather a simply a changed file. At least I can't find any file with that name in the files added in 4.3.


Your best bet is probably to install the "muted - all" version, enter the game as a warlock (or have a warlock buddy), go to a place without other players near and use a tool like Process Monitor to observe the files accesses by the WoW executable when you're casting Shadowbolt.
At least that's how I did it for spells I couldn't identify.
Finally found it while searching through the sound cache MPQs

Sound//Spells//SummonGhouls2
Sound//Spells//SummonGhouls3

It might have been SPELL_WR_Devastate_Impact_01 to _10. I'm currently updating the the addons to the final build.

Don't really know what the mini jouster sound supersimme mentioned should be though.

Hm, I've loaded up my level 73 paladin twink and didn't notice any sound being played when using Hammer of the Righteous.

Mini jouster wing sound

Mini jouster wing sound is still in the game, would really like it to be removed if possible.
