Please help me to silence the annoying man who constantly shouts during the game
Hanschristian2 posted a topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
Something really annoyed me from SC4 since I started playing the game 20 years ago, is the man who never stops yelling during the game. "WAAAAAAH, WAAAAAH!!!!", "WHOOAAAAH, WOOOOOOAAAAAHHH". It keeps shouting louder every few seconds. My head is about to blow up sometimes and I need to turn off the sounds because I can't take it anymore. Is there any plugin, mod, cheat or whatever to turning off the most annoying feature of the game? After making lots of searches, I couldn't find anybody talking about this. Thank you for having me in your forum : ) -
Google Translated: Hello everyone, I have a problem. I searched all the forums and even looked for help in ChatGPT, but nothing helped . About two weeks ago I lost all sounds and music from games. Here's what I did and tested: - The speakers work fine. - Music in the game is turned on, and soundtracks are always present in the song selection menu. - There are mods, but the game with them worked fine before, and there was sound. I didn’t download anything new except the regional map. - Checking DirectX did not reveal any problems, everything works correctly. — Adding a parameter to the shortcut property for launching the game did not help. This is what the line looks like when launched now:"D:\Games\SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition\Apps\SimCity 4.exe" -CustomResolution:enabled -r1920x1080x16 -f -intro:on -audio:on - Manipulations with this line also did not produce any results. - Reinstalling the game did not restore the sound. - Sound works in other games and applications. - Drivers are updated and work correctly. Are there any secret tips that I might not know about? I would like to bring sound back into the game. I thought about looking into the game file, turning on the music, but I don't know where to find it or what it's called . Original: Всем привет, у меня проблема. Я облазил все форумы и даже искал помощи в ChatGPT, но ничего не помогло . Около двух недель назад у меня пропали все звуки и музыка из игр. Вот что я сделал и проверил: - Динамики работают нормально. - Музыка в игре включена, а саундтреки постоянно присутствуют в меню выбора композиций. - Моды есть, но игра с ними раньше работала нормально, и звук был. Ничего нового, кроме региональной карты, не скачивал. - Проверка DirectX проблем не выявлена, все работает корректно. — Добавление параметра в свойство ярлыка для запуска игры не помогло. Вот как выглядит строка, запускаемая сейчас:"D:\Games\SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition\Apps\SimCity 4.exe" -CustomResolution:enabled -r1920x1080x16 -f -intro:on -audio:on - Манипуляции с этой строкой также не дали никаких результатов. - Переустановка игры не восстановила звук. - Звук работает в других играх и приложениях. - Драйверы обновлены и работают корректно. Есть ли какие-то секретные советы, о которых я мог не знать? Я хотел бы вернуть звук в игру. Я думал заглянуть в файл игры, включить музыку, но не знаю, где его найти или как он называется .

important How to Re-Enable Beeping Beeps in Firefox Quantum v66+
CorinaMarie posted a topic in Simtropolis Related
Starting in version 66 of Firefox Quantum no sound enabled item will auto play without your permission. So, if you notice your beeps (notifications) are now silent you need to allow them on Simtropolis as follows: And it's as simple as that. More info here. -
Ok, I assume this is the right forum. Since this morning I noticed an irregularly intermittent, rapping sound, like when you roll one dice in a cup or if you briefly rap your knuckles on wood. I narrowed it down --apparently -- to my going on the Simtropolis site (as it doesn't happen when I'm not there). There used to be a small sound icon on the right of the google bar, with which to turn off an annoying dinging sound (also happening on the website). That icon has disappeared -- and the digging sound is now that equally annoying and loud rapping sound. Has anybody experienced this or is my computer the only poltergeisted one ?

If I open sound.dat - is xa-instance the value (ID) I had to put in reader for querry sound, if I want to make this sound the querry sound of my lot? Is 'xa' the sound format of SC4? Can I convert wav files into xa? So can I make my own "sound.dat" by datpack 'xa's and giving them Ids and so I could create a dependency with my custom querry sounds?

Queen songs playing in SC4 (or how to locate and remove sound objects in mods)
timoman posted a topic in SC4 Modding - Open Discussion
Is there any way to find a plugin with a sound object other than simply removing each .dat one by one and restarting the game over and over and over... until you find the one that has the problem? Some sort of object in my Sim City 4 plugins folder is causing Queen songs (We Will Rock You, It's a Kind of Magic) to play in my city. I demolish all the buildings in the (suspected) area of the sound object's source, but it remains until the song is finished. I guess someone added this as a joke in one of their plugins? But it's not funny, it's really annoying and stupid. I have to turn the sound off in-game for around 2 minutes every time. I haven't even downloaded any wierd or obscure mods from other websites, most I get are from the ST Exchange, a few from SC4 Devotion, by well-known creators. If you know who does this so I can remove their plugins, please tell me. -
You can read the article here: http://www.simcity.com/en_US/blog/article/sounds-of-the-city Looks to still be very much a work in progress but you can at least you can see what they're aiming for and possibly what will be available to us. Right off I noticed the speed settings, news ticker & income now changed to an hourly basis. I can't wait to see how the finished version looks. It seems simple and the fact that it's based on HTML & Javascript should be awesome if modders are able to work with it. There is also a snippet of one of the songs from the game. Sounds pretty good so far I think.
