Cat yawn silencer
Patch 4.03a has applied the "yawn" sound effect, previously only used by the riding tiger model, to all cats and cat-shaped spirit beasts. Since I'd really rather not have my Loque going Raaaarwr *slobber slobber* all the time, I've replaced the yawn effect with a blank sound file.
If you'd rather have a quiet kitty, this is what you need to do:
-Get a blank .ogg sound file.
-Name it "mTigerStand2A"
-Put it in a folder named "Tiger", inside a folder named "Creature", inside a folder named "Sound".
-Put the whole lot in your Data folder. The file path should be "World of Warcraft/Data/Sound/Creature/Tiger/mTigerStand2A.ogg"
-Put the whole lot in your main World of Warcraft folder. The file path should be "World of Warcraft/_retail_/Sound/Creature/Tiger/mTigerStand2A.ogg"
No more slobber!
EDIT: Patch 4.33 seems to have changed all .wav files to .ogg format. You will need to replace the blank .wav file with a .ogg one, which I have uploaded. You'll need to unzip it first; the forum won't let me upload .ogg files.
EDIT 2: Patch 6.02 has changed things yet again. The Sound folder now goes straight in your main WoW folder, not in Data.
EDIT 3: Another change to the folder structure with patch 8.1. The Sound folder should now be placed in the new _retail_ folder.

Re: Cat yawn silencer
Huh, thanks. And yeah, I don't particularly enjoy it either. :/

Re: Cat yawn silencer
Thanks for the directions. This worked perfectly for me.

Ooooooooooooooooh...now you've got me wondering what other sorts of sound files one could put in there to freak people out.

Re: Cat yawn silencer
I just set this up, and it works great - just in time too, as Loque and Gondria were starting to grate on my nerves...
Re: Cat yawn silencer
Haha, thanks for that. That noise can be annoying at times. While I'm at it, think Ill change the warlock's succubus demon noise as well. Nothing more annoying than standing at the AH with one of those next to you. So noisy! Ugh.

Re: Cat yawn silencer
Trying to figure out how to grab a blank sound file... Do I simply rename one of those "CrowdCheer" files?
Is there any way to see the complete list of sounds? I can think of other sounds I'd like to muffle, like a crocolisk's ambient hissing.

Re: Cat yawn silencer
Question: Is the patcher still over-eager and decides to embed any files you have in your Data\Sound directory into the .MPQs, thus overwriting the real file?
I wouldn't mind being able to get rid of that "yawn", but I don't want to do it at the expense of the actual sound.

Re: Cat yawn silencer
Any chance you can put in a longer noise and a randomiser?

Yes, just rename any of those files. If you try to play them you'll see that they have no sound.Trying to figure out how to grab a blank sound file... Do I simply rename one of those "CrowdCheer" files?

This text file has all the sound effects up to patch 3.3.5 in script form. You can check if you have the right sound by pasting the script into a macro. Finding the right one can be a bit tricky, as the file names aren't always obvious. The crocolisk sounds are actually listed under "Basilisk".
I've never heard of this problem before. I just tested it to make sure, and removing the file puts the sound effect back. If you're concerned, make a copy of the .MPQ file and keep it elsewhere as a backup.Question: Is the patcher still over-eager and decides to embed any files you have in your Data\Sound directory into the .MPQs, thus overwriting the real file?

It works in exactly the same way as the gun silencer mod, and that's pretty widely used.
I don't think a randomiser is possible. I don't know about length, but even if you could put a song in it would start to overlap itself every time any cat nearby (not just yours) yawned. It would sound awful.Any chance you can put in a longer noise and a randomiser?

Re: Cat yawn silencer
Does anyone have the original sound file extracted? I would rather edit the original file with a sound editor to shorten it up and take out the slobber part. I really don't mind the yawn itself.
Re: Cat yawn silencer
Thanks for the tip, I came in here hoping to find something like this. You've saved my orange tiger from the back tier of my stable.

Re: Cat yawn silencer
How would one go about using this method to mute some other kinds of pets that irritate people? I know I would be interested in the constant buzzing of my silithid wasp being muted. There are also some other common pet peeves that I'm sure some other hunters would be interested in getting rid of. A few that come to mind are the incessant crocolisk hissing, the stomping sound of core hounds and devilsaurs, and the squee of attacking shale spiders.

Cute doesn't need an explanation.

Re: Cat yawn silencer
The same method applies, you just need to find the right file name and path. http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/i ... Wrath.html has all the sound files up to patch 3.3.5. I haven't found a list for Cataclysm sounds, so you'll have to put up with the shale spider squee for now. Personally I think it's kind of cute.Cialbi wrote:How would one go about using this method to mute some other kinds of pets that irritate people?

Wasp buzz: Sound\Creature\Silithidwasp\Silithidwingloop2.wav
Croc hiss: Sound\Creature\Basilisk\Mbasiliskstand2a.Wav and Mbasiliskstand3a.Wav
Core hound stomp: Sound\Character\Footsteps\Giantfootsteps\Footstepsgiant01.Wav, Footstepsgiant02.Wav, Footstepsgiant03.Wav, Footstepsgiant04.Wav and Footstepsgiant05.Wav (Keep in mind that lots of mobs use these sound effects, and they will be muted as well)
