Location of Elevator sound file

[panzermuffin]

Hello!

I find the sound of the elevator a bit grating and am trying to replace it with a silent soundfile.

But I'm unable to find the actual soundfile - where can I find it / what's the name of the file? Or are there several files played together?

Thanks!

If you unpack the cats then you should find anim_elevator_music.wav in sfx>animation. Hope that's what you are looking for.

Thank you so much for your answer! It's great music and should be an actual vaporwave song, but unfortunately it's not the soundfile I'm looking for.

It's this "VROOUUUM" sound the elevator makes when you use it. Or is this even an elevator? The thingy you use to get around a station and larger ships.

Edit: Oh my god. I just looked it up and it's not called elevator but transporter room. The file is called "dockingbay_transport_room_movement.wav" and is found in sfx/animation.

Funnily enough I have also been looking to replace that sound, and found that same sound file. However packing it in loose files, or in a cat with ext_01 in a small mod folder, does not replace the sound. It continues to play the "Vrooom" sound.

Faced the exact same problem and looked up how other mods silence sounds (like the "no more npc footsteps" mod):

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<diff xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<replace sel="/soundlibrary/sound[@id='dockingbay_transport_room_movement']">
	<volume start="0" distance="0.10"/>
</replace>
</diff>

The transporter is silent now!

I uploaded my first mod to Nexus! Here you can find it if you want the transporter on stations and larger ships completely silent: https://www.nexusmods.com/x4foundations/mods/1686

Great.

I however want to replace the sound, and make it be something else. That does not work for me.

Hi MarStrMind,

here you go: https://1drv.ms/u/c/e2c925a25a447951/EZ ... w?e=ZPhwQB

To replace my new sound (which I was able to find quickly):
- Either change the sound file in \new_transporter_room_sound\sfx\animation with a file which has the exact same name.
- or use another file and file name and change additionally in \new_transporter_room_sound\libraries\sound_library.xml the line

Code: Select all

<sample start="extensions\new_transporter_room_sound\sfx\animation\new_transporter_room_movement_sound"/>

to the correct name of the new file.

Hope that helps

Works. Many thanks.
