Pyker Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) When I activate the Jester Menu, I have a kind of background "white noise". I suppose it simulates the noise of the intercom. I don't like it because it is a low frequency noise that interferes with my subwoofers/transducers. I would appreciate if it could be suppressed, as an option. It is enough for me to hear Jester's voice as I would through an intercom, I don't want the added background noise. Or is it possible to just delete/inactivate that particular noise in one of the DCS world config/lua files ? (e.g. replace its sound file by an "empty" sound file) ? I did a brief search for that "issue" on the forum but did not find a thread about it. Thank you in advance. Edited April 14, 2019 by IronMike
Cobra847 Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 There's an sdef you can tweak in the Mods folder (I can't tell you the exact path right now). (something like JesterMenuNoise). You can lower the gain there. The tweak should pass IC. Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/

You can lower the gain there. The tweak should pass IC. Alas, I've not been able to locate the sdef file. I found two sdef files with "ICSCont" in their name, one had a gain of 2.0, but changing it to 1.0 had no effect, so I guess that's not the right file. Does anybody know which file it is and where it is, please ? Thank you in advance.

key_stroked Posted April 7, 2019 Posted April 7, 2019 I have a blank audio .wav file that I use to replace sound files I don't want to hear in various programs. I uploaded it here -- http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=88269579683830737802 Just make copies of it and rename each copy with the file name you want to "blank" out, then overwrite those files. I would keep a separate backup set so you can quickly copy over the blank files every time they patch.

Thank you all ... with the info you three provided I made this quick & small Mod that disables the Jester menu noise: Havent tried it on Multiplayer yet, so dont know if it affects the IC or not.

Pyker Posted April 8, 2019 Author Posted April 8, 2019 Cool ! Thank you very much! I'll try as soon as I've done my homework :-)
Pyker Posted April 8, 2019 Author Posted April 8, 2019 Hmmm. Just tried it, but it did nothing to Jester. What could I be doing wrong ? (I have no other mod installed with OVGME.) Did anybody actually try it yet ? Otherwise, anybody figured out the path to the SDEF file ?
Rudel_chw Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Hmmm. Just tried it, but it did nothing to Jester. Strange, it does reduce the menu noise to me, as you can see on this short video: aIvp2RDfWHs What could I be doing wrong ? I really dont know, my attached zip was taken straight from the OvGME repository. Otherwise, anybody figured out the path to the SDEF file ? The file I changed is actually a wav file, called "HB_F14_RadioNoise.wav" and its path is: \Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F14\Sounds\Effects Hope you can solve the problem. Cheers.

Pyker Posted April 9, 2019 Author Posted April 9, 2019 Ah yes the problem was with me - a mistake with OvGME. It works fine now! Really great! Thank you thank you thank you !!! Oh, and kudos to Heatblur too for the wonderful plane!
