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

Version: r18

by: sp00n [More]

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.

It's just that the (additional and technically superflous) .wav files simply aren't harmful.

Squiddy0 A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 3 File comments: 106 Uploads: 3	k' thanks for your time, cause initially with 4.3 I'd just completely removed all the .wav files & went with .ogg, if it doesn't ''matter'' which one is in there I'll just stick with both then ^^

sp00n A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 82 Uploads: 8	Normally, WoW should simply ignore any .wav files in the Sound folder, as .ogg files should always take precedence. The problem is that it doesn't work correctly for all files in patch 4.3.4. But it doesn't hurt to have both file types there, no. I just wanted to keep the archive clean (and smaller) by sticking to the way 4.3.3 handled the files.

Squiddy0 A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 3 File comments: 106 Uploads: 3	if this was not intended does it matter if we have .ogg, or .wav in the folders? since it'd pick up either .ogg, or .wav files for the muted versions, right?

Blizzard played around again, and either by mistake or on purpose activated the .WAV files for a few selected sounds.
There's no real pattern behind this, so I assume it's a bug.

The following files will ignore their .ogg counterparts and play the .wav file instead. If no .wav file is present in the \Sound directory, it will play the original file.

Code:

Sound\Character\Footsteps\MediumLargeMetalFootsteps\MediumLargeFootstepMetal_10.wav
Sound\Character\Footsteps\mFootMediumLargeStoneJ.wav
Sound\Creature\babymoonkin\PET_BabyMoonkin_Flap10.wav
Sound\Creature\Frog\Float.wav
Sound\Creature\greaterslime\GreaterSlime_Death_10.wav
Sound\Creature\NorthrendGhoul\NorthrendGhoulAggro1.wav
Sound\Creature\NorthrendGhoul\NorthrenGhoulNewDeath10.wav
Sound\Creature\pandarenpet\Pandaren_StandVar3_10.wav
Sound\Creature\Sheep\SheepDeath.wav
Sound\Creature\worgenmale\WorgenMale_Death_10.wav
Sound\Doodad\FX_ExplosionProjectileLaunchLarge_10.wav
Sound\Doodad\FX_ExplosionProjectileLaunchMedium_10.wav
Sound\Doodad\GO_ExplodingStoneImpact01_10.wav
Sound\Doodad\ZeppelinHeliumA.wav
Sound\Interface\PickUp\PickUpMetalSmall.wav

There are probably more, those are the ones I could identify during an LFR run.

So I'll probably end up simply adding back in all .wav files again, which I deleted for the 4.3.3 release.

Ruga A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	I think they added a few new sounds with 4.3.4. Just to be sure, I deleted the Sound folder I had and added it fresh from the rar file. Seems like there's some mail armor sound when I'm on my mount as well as when it lands there's a step sound. Same when going over the metal bridge in Baradin Hold, metal clank step sound. Also, there are 2-3 new sounds in combat it seems. One might have been the warlock guldan meteor thingy, the others I started hearing towards execute phase. Hope this helps.

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.

Do you know the name of the sound file for Shred and Faerie Fire (Feral)?

I'm quite fond of those, I really just want the combat sounds muted and nothing else.

The emotes are in \Data\Sound\Character\, separated into the different races.
The names are pretty descriptive there, so you should have no problem to find the specific sounds you want.
Then just delete the muted sounds in these folders.

sp00n A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 82 Uploads: 8	I may have found a solution, at least a quick run in LFR showed no problems. WoW seems to have become really picky now about the sound file specs, reducing the sample rate from 44100 Hz to 22050 Hz seems to have done it. I'll know more after tonight's raid.
