Disable sound effects

[ceas4r]

Hi guys,
is it possible to disable the sound effects like rain, wind etc..?

You could replace the sound files with empty sound files. A lot like texture modding.

There is no "legit" way to remove them.

Yeah ive been thinking about that also, but where are the sound files?
and btw why isnt this legit? you mean that u can get a VAC ban for it right, its just removing/replacing some files o.o

I just said "not legit" because there is no official dvar or anything to change it. It's not meant to be done. Use WinRar to look in the IWD_## files. They are in one of those. You can play them without unzipping through WinRar. In MW2 i experienced that it wasn't to hard to find sound files. I'm sure you can find it if you spend some time.

Well i found some in the main folder iw_11 - iw_22
found fire and dropping rock and wood sound etc.. i deleted them and started a game but i still hear the sounds
so i replaced them with an empty sound file and then started a new game but also still heared the sounds
anyone has an idea?

Maybe there's a backup in other IW files

Nope,
i checked everything there are only sound files in iw_11 to iw_22
and localized_english_iw## but that are only voices.

I really would love to remove the sound like those annoying chickens etc..
but i think its not possible then O.o

unless someone has an other idea.
