How to remove jump sound

[Animositisomina]

I love Quake 2, but the "HUNH! HUNH!" jumping sound gets old really fast. I'm trying to figure out how to remove it. I've tried creating a new pak file with empty (silent) replacements for jump1.wav in all the proper locations, but that didn't work. I've tried deleting every reference to jump1.wav inside pak0.pak, that didn't work either. Somehow, the game is still finding and using the original sound file.

Is it even possible to remove at all? (or replace with silence?)

Any tips would be appreciated.

Hm, I think I asked about that quite a while ago. Afaik no solution turned up back then...

[Animositisomina]

Well that stinks. Thanks anyhow.

Oh wait, you wanna remove it on your local Q2 installation, right?

I thought you wanted to remove it just for a Quake 2 map you were creating (that's what I wanted because the sound didn't fit the theme of my map). It should be possible to remove it from your installation somehow. Someone in here will know how I guess.

LMAO: I just reread this and it looks like I was drunk or something when I replied to this thread. What I wanted to do was to replace/remove the jumppad sounds, not the jump sounds.

Yeah, I meant the singleplayer game itself. So far it doesn't seem possible though. Even if you overwrite the sound file with something new, you still get the original sound in-game. I'm guessing it's hardcoded into the engine.

Did to try to replace the jump sounds in the baseq2/players/ folders?
Afaik, the files in a folder, "overwrites" the files in the .pak files..

[SkiesOfBordom]

any sound placed in the baseq2/* folders should overwrite any occurrence elsewhere (for baseq2 mod only) as long as its named properly and in the right location.

You'd think so but the player sounds don't seem to obey that law. I tried replacing the death sound and even placing it in the players/male folder didn't work.

I have a modified male jump sound. Now, I have a baseq2\sound\player\male folder off of q2 that has the ORIGIONAL jump sound, but the one in my pak overides it with the more gentle version I like. So seems like it would have to be in the pak?

FYI: You can remove jumping sounds in KMQ2 by setting the cvar player_jump_sounds to 0.
