[Request] Disable engine sounds

Post by StarFreeze »

Just came back playing the game after a many year break and the engine sounds like crazy loud compared to everything else in the game ruining the experience a lot. Sadly I see no in-game way of lowering the engine sounds specifically so thus a mod request or way to disable them. Or lower them by 90% because I want to hear the game sounds, the pew pew, and ambience...just not the engines the entire time at 5000000% volume compared to everything else.

I find the same.
You can turn down the ambient levels in the settings. No mod is required.

Huh? what? My ambient volume at 0 and I can still hear the engines well over everything else. Its completely unbearable. The only way for me to lower it is lowering effects volume but then I can't hear the pew pew or anything else except station talk lol. Thus the desire for a mod to turn this engine related sounds off entirely.

Look in the nexus, there is one mod doing that. There is also another that replaces all sounds if you like the new. In general, replacing sounds is easy. Do a subst_01.cat/dat with the same identical names of the vanilla sounds. Use the same audio format of course

If it's only one specific ship (engine) then you could edit the corresponding wav file (requires an audio software).

If not ambient settings then one of the other settings - as you found out. :D I don't remember every setting available. I just knew it was one of those.

But yeah, low pew, pew included as you said. But it did lower down the engine sounds. :D

and ... just do what the others say.
