my fix to In-game & Environmental sounds (thunder, rain, etc.)

[supermonk]

Due to positive feedback and popular demand, this thread is going to replace the old one because of all the updates.. I'm fairly certain I've fixed all the super loud Environmental and some in-game sounds.

Some background: EQ sound files seem to be at 125% and environmental sounds at 150%. These files will give you a reason to turn your Environmental sounds back on for full classic immersion. What I've done is replaced Environmental sounds with custom sound files at a reduced volume that are pleasant to the ear. If it's not replaced with a custom sound, then the volume is severely reduced. Even if you prefer to play with them off, I'd still recommend using my files only due to the thunder/rain sound.

Environmental sounds include:
- THUNDER
- rain
- ocean
- forest crickets
- jungle
- scary night
- forest
- tunnel winds
- swamp
- rivers
- lakes
- lava
- underwater

In-game sounds at reduced volume:
- swimming
- drinking
- banking/merchant
- open/close bags
- open/close chests
- wear/remove items
- quest trumpet sound


Here's the DOWNLOAD LINK. All you have to do is replace the files in your EQ folder. Enjoy.

the installation is:

download the 3 .pfs files
extract them to your EQ folder

is that it?

**appears so

the rain/thunder is tolerable now
nice work

the background rain/thunder sound while not eardrum breaking inducing is NOW softer than close quarters combat is the first thing i've noticed

still, its better than BOOOOOM CRACK HISSSSS CRACK BOOM !!!

so i finally died and braced myself for the DEAFENING lootING muhhhhh corpse process

you fixed the inventory sounds 10/10

only 2 sounds so far i am in the middle about is the rain/thunder and night time bird sounds stuff (the default nighttime birds moan never bugged me)

i feel it should be a little louder but its still an improvement to default stock

Not sure why but downloading from that website is going EXTREMELY slow. Even for a 23MB zip file.

Update: Nevermind, apparently canceling it and resuming a few times fixed it.

the 2 different wind blowing ambient sound effects present @ druid stones @ chessboard are either inaudible or missing from your sound effect update

will this be fixed/added?
i rather enjoy the wind blowing sounds

SuperMonk this sound package is getting better and better! Lots of improvements. It's almost perfect for me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I don't suppose you can soften the footsteps and or movement sounds? They are really loud right now.

The modifications from the following link were perfect! https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=27308

It's a bit outdated and I prefer to use yours since you've added even more fixes to annoying sounds [You must be logged in to view images.

Oh forgot to mention that this is a constant low howling or wind tunnel noise like someone blowing into the mic very softly sound. It's in all the zones and in every location. You have to listen very carefully but it's there. Especially in zones where there isn't much music or sound going on.
