Bamzal here, back once again to push the boundaries of Classic EverQuest knowledge.
In order to disable the Lavastorm thunder, open lavastorm.emt in notepad, and delete these 4 lines:
(near the end of the file)
- stomp_01.wav
- boulder_hit.wav
- stomp_02.wav
- thunder_rolling.wav
The most egregious is thunder_rolling.wav
Now that we are on the topic of lavastorm.emt. emt are newer zone sound files. only new zones or revamped zones have these. or more specifically, zones built later in the timeline (which also use the new eqg zone files instead of old s3d files).
Therefore in order to properly restore the classic Lavastorm sound assets (and any other revamped zone for that matter) we need to delete the .emt files for those revamped zones. The classic Lavastorm sound assets dont use those wav files mentioned above. The classic sound assets are: lava_lp.wav, steamlp.wav, etc
So the question shifts from "how do i remove the thunder" to "why are the devs allowing the revamped sound assets to be loaded? they should prevent the revamped sound assets from loading similar to how they are prevent the revamped zone file from loading"
