Willy Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I remember a few people asking about this on the previous forum, and I myself was wondering how to do this. Unfortunately I forgot who gave out the details to this fix in "New Players" one day, but I am only passing along the fix that was given to me. In order to disable the constant sound effect that plays when Psi Shield is on you have to edit your sounds.ini file. It is in data/client/ini/, in your E&B installation directory. (e.g. C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Earth & Beyond) Open your sounds.ini file with notepad and do a text search for shield_idle. It should take you right to the parameters for the idle sound. Place a ; infront of the few lines in that section. It should look like this: ;***********psionic skill ********************** ;dko modified volume radius 08/01/02 because I'm hearing this all around the galaxy. [psionic_shield_idle.wav] ;SoundFilename=psionic_shield_idle.wav ;SoundPriority=1.000000 ;SoundLoopCount=0 ;SoundVolume=0.6400 ;SoundMaxVolRadius=400.0 ;SoundDropOffRadius=3000.0 ;SoundMaxVolRadius=200.0 ;SoundDropOffRadius=1500.0 Now just Save the file and VOILA! No more idle noise while Psi shield is active. Unfortunately, you'll have to re-do this fix after every client update, but it only takes a few seconds and is a small step in helping me keep my sanity. Enjoy the game! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenkaris Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 could you find the same thing for the skull shield hum? I'm sure the few of us out there who suffer from in-base loud humming would love you for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
