Make EQ Sound Significantly Better

[paulgiamatti]

While I'm at it, I'll touch on the Lavastorm explosions - the main client being circulated online right now has the big explosion deleted, but some of you are like "ZOMG IT'S STILL THERE IT MAKES ME SHIT MYSELF" - well, that's the lesser explosion, which is still kinda loud, but nothing compared to the big one. The big explosion is thunder_rolling.wav contained in snd11.pfs, the lesser explosion is stomp_02.wav in snd11.pfs. The lesser explosion can still be kind of an earsore, especially if you have your sound turned up for any reason, so I'll go ahead and tone that down to a more tolerable level.

Correction - this actually wasn't deleted from the client, I incorrectly assumed they deleted it since they were trying to get rid of the big explosion sound. The sound files with this install are actually 100% the original Titanium install files, so I've uploaded them for those who want to revert: download, extract to EverQuest directory, select overwrite (this will also revert all volume levels, meaning loud bags & explosions): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...ssicsounds.rar

Update - toned down the sound for putting an item on the cursor and dropping an item into an inventory slot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...ds/snd2fix.rar

Update!

• Toned down the sound for opening and closing inventory boxes.
  
• Level-corrected all wind tunnel sounds - some of these were mixed absurdly loud which is why in some places it was practically deafening.
  
• Have you ever been driven mad near a pond or lake by the obnoxiously loud, repetitive water lapping sound? I fixed that too - there was a much better sound for this in one of the later sound archives which was mixed perfectly and actually sounds like the waves of a lake/pond subtly cascading against its shore.

This includes the "Make EQ Sound Significantly Better" sounds repacked in mono, quieter bag/box open/close sound, quieter item-to-cursor/item-to-inventory sound, level-corrected wind tunnel sounds, underwater and lake shore loop fixes. Extract to EQ directory & overwrite.

And these changes are also included in the "all of the above" zip from the previous post: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...soundfixes.rar

There were still some lakes using the obnoxiously loud, awful, repetitive water lapping sound, so I replaced those with the better sound as well: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...ereqsounds.zip

I have been playing around with mods like Make EQ sound significantly better but there is a couple sounds I would like to replace. The first is the woodland sounds you find in forest like East Commonlands, the one with the constant howling animal and crows. The other is the Feerrott sound of tree frogs constantly. There is also another one that triggers at night in East Commonlands of tree frogs I think and I would like to replace these with better versions that don't drive me crazy.

Any idea what these files are named?
