[MODs]Remove Various Warning Beeps

[OOZ662]

Remove Missile Warning Beeps: (Request by Reimu Hakurei)
This mod will remove the whooping noise accompanying an enemy missile launch along with the proximity beeps as the missile approaches. Betty will still alert you each time a missile is launched, however.

Remove Enemy Warning Beep: (Request by Misinformed)
This mod will remove the beep that plays before combat music starts when you close distance with an enemy ship.

Installation: (pick one method)

Mod method: Extract the .cat and .dat files (named after this mod) into TC's "mods" folder. If this folder does not exist, create it. Be sure to select this mod from TC's splash menu.

Fake Patch method: Extract the .cat and .dat files (named after this mod) into TC's main directory. Rename the files to one above the highest number of your current cat/dat pairs (on a vanilla v2.5 game, this mod will need to be named 10.cat and 10.dat). The mod will work automatically next time the game is run.

Note that these mods can be "stacked" (both installed) and both are savegame compatible.

There is a Hashes.txt file included in the ZIP that experienced users can use to verify a good download of the mod. This file does not need to be extracted to the game.

Deinstallation:

Delete the .cat/.dat files. Your warnings will return to normal the next time you load the game.

Game Resources Modified/Used:
Missile Warnings:
s\925.wav
s\1203.wav
s\1204.wav
Enemy Warning:
s\923.wav
All replaced with a tiny muted .wav file that matches the original's bitrate and mono...ness.

I dont know, I think I couldn't live without that. o: I mean, its the thing which tells me at what proximity the missile is to me.

[OOZ662]

I feel the same way, but Reimu wanted it, and I delivered. No reason not to post it here in case anyone else feels the same way.

I wanted it especially when i was using m1-m2 ships.. Only a dozen of missiles and i hear beeps everywhere like i m dying perhaps my shield is full. Really annoying..

Thanks man

[Misinformed]

What id really appreciate is doing away with the 5km or so proximity beep when an enemy vessel comes within range of the player ship. Its annoying to no end. Im suprised someone hasnt tackled it already. *Hopes*.

Links updated as apparently I'd deleted the files at some point (I actually redid the whole mod since I've changed computers since then ).

I read somewhere along the line that there's a reference file that can be edited to remove Betty's sayings. I would assume that's mov\00044.pck but I personally don't know how to edit it. Opening it in X3 Editor 2 results in many number entries I don't understand and I don't remember how to decompress .pck files outside of a .cat/.dat pair.

[Reimu Hakurei]

Ahoy there. You never told me when you actually made this.
Much belated thanks.

Ah. I must've closed the tab I kept open for it by then, expecting no new posts.

And I'm not stuffed about modified; on the custom game start since there was no Nostalgic Argon at the time and have that script thingie that enables plots.
