my fix to In-game & Environmental sounds (thunder, rain, etc.)

[supermonk]

Due to positive feedback and popular demand, this thread is going to replace the old one (https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=339568) because of all the updates.. I'm fairly certain I've fixed all the super loud Environmental and some in-game sounds.

Some background: EQ sound files seem to be at 125% and environmental sounds at 150%. These files will give you a reason to turn your Environmental sounds back on for full classic immersion. What I've done is replaced Environmental sounds with custom sound files at a reduced volume that are pleasant to the ear. If it's not replaced with a custom sound, then the volume is severely reduced. Even if you prefer to play with them off, I'd still recommend using my files only due to the thunder/rain sound.

Environmental sounds include:
- THUNDER
- rain
- ocean
- forest crickets
- jungle
- scary night
- forest
- tunnel winds
- swamp
- rivers
- lakes
- lava
- underwater

In-game sounds at reduced volume:
- swimming
- drinking
- banking/merchant
- open/close bags
- open/close chests
- wear/remove items
- quest trumpet sound


Here's the DOWNLOAD LINK (https://gofile.io/?c=uFue84). All you have to do is replace the files in your EQ folder. Enjoy.

the installation is:

download the 3 .pfs files
extract them to your EQ folder

is that it?

**appears so

the rain/thunder is tolerable now
nice work

[Lulz Sect]

the background rain/thunder sound while not eardrum breaking inducing is NOW softer than close quarters combat is the first thing i've noticed

still, its better than BOOOOOM CRACK HISSSSS CRACK BOOM !!!

[Lulz Sect]

so i finally died and braced myself for the DEAFENING lootING muhhhhh corpse process

you fixed the inventory sounds 10/10

only 2 sounds so far i am in the middle about is the rain/thunder and night time bird sounds stuff (the default nighttime birds moan never bugged me)

i feel it should be a little louder but its still an improvement to default stock

Not sure why but downloading from that website is going EXTREMELY slow. Even for a 23MB zip file.

Update: Nevermind, apparently canceling it and resuming a few times fixed it.

[Lulz Sect]

the 2 different wind blowing ambient sound effects present @ druid stones @ chessboard are either inaudible or missing from your sound effect update

will this be fixed/added?
i rather enjoy the wind blowing sounds

SuperMonk this sound package is getting better and better! Lots of improvements. It's almost perfect for me :D

I don't suppose you can soften the footsteps and or movement sounds? They are really loud right now.

The modifications from the following link were perfect! https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27308

It's a bit outdated and I prefer to use yours since you've added even more fixes to annoying sounds :) Please take a look at footsteps and such when you can, that would rock! Thanks again for all your hard work. I know the community appreciates it.

Oh forgot to mention that this is a constant low howling or wind tunnel noise like someone blowing into the mic very softly sound. It's in all the zones and in every location. You have to listen very carefully but it's there. Especially in zones where there isn't much music or sound going on.

[Lulz Sect]

Thanks for the updates SuperMonk and the addition of the movement sounds reduction. I'll test it out and let you know. As always you rock :)

thank you for fixing the wind sound back to the original

i dont mind the new rain thunder yet, undecided whether i like it more than stock but its cool that i dont have to lower my volume when it starts raining in zone

nice work

Ya I agree, do something about footsteps. They're awful.

Supermonk I installed the movement/walking sound update your made and it's just great. The only thing is that the weird howling or soft blowing sound is still there. Except now it's a little louder than before. I made a video so you can see what I mean :) Older version was very soft compared to what you hear in that video.

i actually reverted all wind sounds back to stock. i did some testing and i'm just pretty sure the "wind" sound is just a common environmental sound. some spots trigger it and some spots dont.

[MadCowKow]

How can none of these things exist any more?!?!

[tsuchang]

I want to say something about fixing the bum scratching sound the trolls and ogres make but can't think of anything witty.

anyone have the latest release hosted somewhere?

[xyvyz]

Anyone have these files and dont mind sharing?

[Siggard]

Looking for this file too, sounds great!

[jarshale]

does anyone still have this and can upload it somewhere?

Hi. There was a similar thread (https://project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96094) that was rezurected recently regarding abnormal volumes of particular sounds. A few other solutions in that thread as well if the below doesn't work out.

I still have the files that some one reuploaded since the original host long died. And I guess that reuploaded host has died as well! So I replied to that thread (https://project1999.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3475865&postcount=16), providing a link to yet another host site.

So, without further ado, the files (https://files.catbox.moe/ta50po.zip) (catbox.moe)
