How to remove U.I click sound and background sound of stars?

Post by XTRG »

Hello all,

Would like to play more DW2, alas the U.I click pains me, as does the background sounds of stellar bodies.

How would i alter or remove them?

thanks,

XTRG.

As far as I know, sound is not yet moddable :| - except you're able to do it with Harmony. ;)

Me are bugging other sounds and I have the same questions.
The hyperjump is it for me as well as the dying sound of the space monsters.

I would love to replace them with no sound at all.

If it is not possible to just remove them like the music,
how do I find out how harmony does that?

P.S.: It uses Stride, what does Harmony with it?

A rudimentary support for the use of Harmony (0Harmony.dll) was implemented some time ago, but you have to have some coding-knowledge/skills in order to use it. :|
Harmony in general can alter things when loaded into the system RAM, so you technically can edit everything the game uses - but like I said you really have to know how to do such things. ;) (which I personally don't, but I have a son who works as a professional programmer, who can do this :) - but sadly he hasn't got much time or interest for 4X-games. :( )

(P.S.: No, it's not possible to "just remove them like the music", because they are stored away in the db-files and you would have to export/import them first (unless you know how to use stride for this ;) ))

Thank you for that input.
If I have some time and the game is playable.. I will consider laying hands on it.
