Remove suit sounds

[andy4729]

Which file would contain the code for the suit speech sounds? and where abouts? I need to remove them all and can't be bothered to rename a blank sound about 50 different things to cover up the original voice sounds.

Also, would commenting out this code be sufficient?

You could just make them all refer to one sound that is just a blank .wav in the code.

A simple search for "SetSuitUpdate" in vc++ tells me that commenting out all the calls to the SetSuitUpdate function should work fine. A quick but less ideal solution would be to comment out the contents of CBasePlayer::SetSuitUpdate or add a return to the start of the function.

For example if you look through any of the weapon source files you would see that the SetSuitUpdate function gets called whenever you run out of ammo.

Not a coding solution, but it would be easy enough to remove the references to this in a script file (I forget which one it is, but it's one of the ones in the /scripts/ folder)

I don't think HL2 will give you any issues if you just delete lines which refer to certain WAVs, just be sure to delete an entire block such as

Code: Select all

"HL2Player.SprintNoPower"
{
   "channel"   "CHAN_VOICE"
   "volume"   "0.8"
   "soundlevel"  "SNDLVL_60dB"

   "wave"   "player/suit_denydevice.wav"
}

}

That's really not an ideal method at all, simply commenting out the contents of CBasePlayer::SetSuitUpdate would be sufficient. What you're proposing involves spending an inordinate amount of time messing with script files, when you could instead simply remove the contents of a single function.

Thanks for the help guys
