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.

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.

Wind tunnels you can just turn down your ambients and those stop, at least they did for me, this thunder thing is genius tho and will save me from going completely crazy!
