Incredibly Loud Hive Sounds In Bast (?)

Tweedle

<div class="IPBDescription">is there a way to silence them?</div> I think its bast. At each potential hive site, there are some incredibly annoying/maximum volume gurgling sounds or something. It is rediculous. I can't hear voice comm or any other game sounds over it. Is there a way to make them stop? ie: removing files, replacing files with blanks, something else.. etc.? (stopsound doesn't work)

Thanks!

I have the same problem though, for a quick and easy fix bind a key to "stopsound"

Stopsound doesn't work, however a solution to this would be so much appreciated. Message to mappers, these sounds annoy us more than add to the expierence of the map... take the crickets from de_aztec on cs, 90% of the cs community is about ready to murder all crickets they see for the duration of their life.

I disagree.

My game works fine. I have no technical issues. I am asking if anyone knows of a "tweak" or a "fix" or whatever you'd like to call it.

stopsound does not work. Read my post.

Dear lord. Learn the map names people! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

It's in powersilo hive on ns_nothing. The easiest fix for it is turning off the in-game music. I can't remember if there's an option in the menus to do that, but there's a very obvious line you can change in your config.cfg to turn it off. Or you can just replace the sound with a null file, or if you're feeling technical a quieter version of the same sound.

edit: To turn off the music, change:

cl_musicenabled "1.0"

to

cl_musicenabled "0.0"

in your config.cfg

I agree that the powersilo hive sound is way too loud. It inhibits gameplay by removing the ability to hear incoming bogies, and further half the time it doesnt even seem right because it makes the sounds whether there is a hive there or not.

I should go in and just reduce the volume on the wave file itself.

Its a good thing File consistancy doesnt include sound <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

The hive sound volume in the PowerSilo will be reduced in the next update. It was a goof-up that I "forgot" to fix, originally.

Actually in the refenery hive on bast I hear a massive explosion of noise every now and again, sounds like steam venting. Is that supposed to be there that loud? (it occurs just near the large pipes that cross over the ramp that leads down past the courner res point)

I'm pretty sure that actually is a random occurance of steam exploding from the walls. I like it quite a bit; being all tense and then having your pants scared off by some silly steam vent is quite fun.

Note: you can see this happen in the bast readyroom as well.

Yeah, please don't be offended, but I entirely removed the powersilo ambience because it was so loud... at my usual playing volume level it hurt my ears.
