No Sound (except Rare Drop Jingle) !!

[Spuz]

Multitasking Dual Monitor Setup. Watch a Movie while playing PSO on the side without having any distracting sounds except the jingle to notify you of rares.

1. Back up the sound folder - Located
   

   ephineaPSOBB\data\sound

   Just in-case you forget, I have a backup of the original sound files here.
2. Download this zip file which contains the whole sound folder; replace all the contents of your sound folder [location mentioned above] with the files within this zip.
3. Load via the launcher (so files update correctly) and ensure SFX is on at a level you wish to hear the jingle & ensure BGM is off/0.

I would also like to mention that all sounds located within the ephinea.pac file are still heard; this is because the launcher updates the file every time you launch it. The only way to block this would be to stop reading from the folder (not recommended). This includes 7 Volumes total:

Sample 0-2 - Rare Jingles
Sample 3 - Seasons Achievement Jingle
Sample 4 - PK activation
Sample 5 - Battle Sound
Sample 6 - Server Notification (Before GM/Mod Banner)

If you wish to return the sound, you should have a backed-up sound folder with which you can replace the files.
-----------------
EDITS:
1. Updated thread from OP to current with edited files etc
2. Forgot caves in the main zip, this has now been added.
3. crater.pac - Volume 82, wilds.pac - Volume 82/88 & ship.pac - Volume 61 all had been skipped over but have now been added to the zip file.

I put the jingle inside of ephinea.pac

It USED to use the OGG files for the sounds but it hasn’t for a while now.

The game expects the jingle to be at SFX ID 1792 for 9 star rare, 1793 for greater than 9 but less than 12, 1794 for 12 or higher.

I can’t remember if removing PAC files (if thats what you’re doing to remove sounds) causes the index IDs to change. But if it does, that’s probably whats causing the sound not to play anymore. You’d have to just replace all the sounds with silent files.

Appreciate the reply. That is what I was thinking about and shall start doing. Thank you.

edit: Tweaked all the pac files to have no sound and updated the thread!

Made a tweak to these today because of a few missed volumes. If anyone has this please re-download.

I also made a note about ephinea.pac

Without even listening, that 3rd sample is probably the achievement jingle from Seasons.
