Looking for different in game TELL sounds
 

i know i saw an optional TELEPHONE RING sound file for ingame TELLS somewhere, but i can't seem to find the link anywhere!! If anyone could maybe tell me where to look in the eq2 folder for the tell sound file, i could probably just replace it with my own sound.. i can't seen to find the tell sound file either!! i've looked and looked HELP.. i keep missing my tells because I don't hear the little bubble sound!!


thanks for your time :P :p

Take the sound file that you wish to play, and rename it to

ui_tell_receive.wav

Then place it in

(EQ2_folder)/UI/Sounds

Off topic but your Artwork is very impressive

yeah thats, umm ... thats umm, ...

yeah.

What she/he said ;)

not a one. still got the <thwp> sound.

this works fine for me

everquest2>UI>CustomUIfolder>sounds>ui_tell_receive.wav

aye, when you want ANYTHING custom you are not supposed to use the default ui. anything you ever customize should nest in the customui folder you create yourself. treat this sound change as a mod. You have to make a eq2.ini and all that jazz.

Odd. My Chest Drop sound works in EQ2\UI\Sounds fine... (It should be noted that it's UI\Sounds, NOT UI\Default\Sounds.)

/PULLING MY HAIR OUT!! still can't get this to work,, i thought maybe they have to be under 5k.. but NOPE that's not it! i put the renamed file in to the sound folder of my UI ( MINE) i pieced together from here. I know i'm doing it right so any suggestions?

OGM i was trying too hard. FInaly figured it out! doesn't go in your personal UI folder. It goes in the main UI folder that holds your different UI's in a folder named SOUNDS like the one for FONTS!!! :nana:

Is there one for when you die?

Nope. However too_far is not used, or at least that I can tell. After I find a good enough sound byte, I will be adding that feature to OericDeath. I dunno how comfortable you are with xml editing, and I suck at explaining, so i wont try =)

It is. Usually you hear it when you cant reach something, like a node on a tree, a ? bugged or a bell too far to click (it is a really dull sound with 2 notes)

ooooooooooh
So its not *your target is too far away*
its *You cannot reach that*

Only works solo not in grp
 

I am using a custom sound for chest drops now as well. However, I noticed that it only works when I am solo. If I am in a group, I get NO sound when a chest drops. Solo, however, works like a charm. Any suggestions? Is there something i need to add to my eq2.ini file to let the game know where my custom sounds are?

I too am not hearing chest drop sounds (group or solo) at all since I added

ui_chestdrop.wav


I have tried it like this....

C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI\Sounds

& like this...

C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest II\UI\myui\Sounds

I hope someone out there might be able to shed some light on what I have done wrong.

P.S. I have changed several of the other custom sound files & they all work, but not the chest drop sound.

It's very frustrating :(

Solo I hear the custom chest drop sounds no problem. It is ONLY when I am in group that the custom chest drop sounds quit working. And it does NOT matter if all grp members are in same zone or in different zones than I. Simply, in grp, no matter where, chest_drop sounds do not work (if I customize it). Solo, they work perfect!

And the same for me, only the chest_drop customized sounds give me problems, but it does work when I am solo. All other custom sounds work no matter solo or grp.

I'm having the same problem with a custom "tell" sound.

*root*\UI\Sounds\ui_tell_receive.wav
I get no sound at all.

does the .wav file need to be a certian b-rate or sample rate?

EDIT: That must be the problem, because I just swapped out wav's and now it's working.

Here are the specs for the sound bit that works.

Size: 289kb
B-rate: 1411kbps
Sample size: 16bit
Channels: 2 (stereo)
Sample Rate: 44khz
Format: PCM
