Please... Turn off/silence bird chatter

[ultimate-underground]

Hej

Can someone tell me how to mute or turn off a specific sound in the game? And that's the birds chirping =D

[Flow86]

you can look for playBirdSounds in the files. I do not have the right place in my head where the chirp is played though.

I tried to analyze all possible files... the only one that looks promising is sound.scs... I don't know which number is the one that will solve the bird's cry.
And will it work at all by changing the frequency parameter?
Isn't it better to rewrite the code directly in the project?

sound.scs - editing in notepad

the sound.scs is only used to convert the sounds to the right pitch (samplerate) - it has nothing to do with the volume itself. The volume is probably set in playBirdSounds or in the calling site of it

[ultimate-underground]

So manipulating the compiled game won't solve the problem and I'll have to intervene in the code before compiling...

[Flow86]

Yes exactly

[ultimate-underground]

I found... I solved...
