thunderstorm sound

[snwbrdr642]

is there a way to turn down the sound of rain and thunder, compared to every other sound it is incredibly loud, its especially bad with headphones.

i figured that it would be tied to "environment sounds" but its not and the only slider that makes it go down is the "sound volume" which is just the master volume.

i like playing with eq sounds, really puts me back a decade, but when the weather's bad my ears hurt : (

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 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/eqemulator/files/OpenZone/S3DSpy%201.2/S3DSpy_1.2.zip/download). 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.

It works. I enjoy the silence. =)

This is a good thread necromancy. I was looking for something like this. I too, nearly poop when coming out of or into SolB. Loud thunder is loud.
