NoCry and NoMusic sound mods

Fantastic. The sobbing was starting to get to me.

Re: OTT, I prefer the simplicity of use this mod has. despite its inelegance.

Heh, this mod went OTT for something so simple.

True enough. I bow to your greater modding knowledge - I just hacked together something that worked, since I only thought to investigate the "sounds.dat" rather than "main.dat" I imagine in-game options to change these might be forthcoming soon anyway in one of the future patches.

BTW, why did you want to remove lords_prayer?

I just didn't like it. Not from a religious point of view or anything... it just grated a bit.

Well, I hope this encourages people to start changing the music. The more mods the better! But no breaking copyright law.

Yes, agreed, the more mods the better

EDIT: Mod updated to v1.1, efficiency version, same "easy" installation method but without the bloat. Cheers Monty

NoCry Mod (2.68KB)
NoMusic Mod (2.55KB)
NoMusic NoAmbience Mod (2.37KB)

Installation; extract into your Defcon directory.
Uninstallation; Locate your Defcon/data directory, delete "sounds.txt", rename "backup sounds.txt" to "sounds.txt".

How's that for simplicity and elegance?

Blah, and I just updated my packs as well. Not going to quibble over a 20KB difference...

How do you avoid the need for a placeholder blank music file? When I tried deleting the entire contents of SAMPLEGROUP Music, my Defcon crashed on startup...

EDIT: Nevermind, you of course mentioned it in your post. I should check before letting my fingers run away on my keyboard

Heh, no worries. Don't mean to be stepping on your toes with the mod. Just trying to help out.

I like the 'crying' sounds, but it would be good if they were only triggered after a nuclear impact, to mirror the aftermath...

Thanks for bumping this. It reminded me to get the mod, so that at some point I could throw out the crying (which is, after months and months, now sometimes starting to irritate me).

mm would people be around to cry even?

[MegaDeathKill!]

Some poor souls would survive and die slowly of radiation sickness. I just think that it's a powerful (but overused) sound effect. If they triggered it after a nuclear attack, it would be far more effective as hearing it at DefCon 5 just doesn't make any sense.

Maybe a little tweak for a future patch?

I cannot get this mod to work. I have defcon through Steam but I have the stuff in the folder and I'm still getting the regular ingame sounds.

The No Ambience Mod gave me a CFN error when I went to the page.
