Sick of constant thunder? Here's how to change it.
 

I got sick of headache-inducing thunderclaps every 5-6 seconds so I found out how to change the files.

Step 1: Download S3DSpy 1.2. EverQuest bundles visual elements into .s3d files, sounds into .pfs files.

Step 2: Extract and run S3DSpy, point it to your EverQuest folder. You'll see a list of files on the left.

Step 3: Find snd2.pfs, thunder1.wav and thunder2.wav will be on the list on the right. You can either delete the files and leave it at that, or swap them out with softer thunder, duck quacks, whatever you want. Just make sure the filenames are the same.

Step 4: /quit and come back.

In the words of Depeche Mode, enjoy the silence.

I have replaced the thunder with sounds of Dubya's laugh/chuckle. It's beyond awesome.

OMG i LOVE YOU....!!!....!!!!!

Another sound that annoys me is the "wind tunnel" effect in certain zones. It's just too freakin' loud. You can tweak those in snd6.pfs, files are wind_lp2.wav, wind_lp3.wav, and wind_lp4.wav.

I lol'd!

Thank you for this post!

Bump for epic post.

/sticky this!

Likewise - for future use. Is the 'quest turn in' sound able to be toned down too? I guess I'll find out when I meddle around with this. :)
