Is there any way to disable the deathmatch announcements that say 3 frags left, 2 frags left, etc..??? They make me anxious especially if I'm in the lead and toe to toe with one or more players.

Open the data2008*pk3 with a zip program (it is in the Nexuiz/data folder).
Navigate to /sound/announcer/robotic/. There you will find the files that are played in the situations you mentioned.
Either replace them with empty files or try to just delete them from the pk3, but I dont know if the latter causes errors with Nexuiz complaining about missing files.

no_announcer.pk3
Disables all default announcer sounds. ("Did Yoda show you that?", "One frag left", etc)

I did this and replaced them with blank oggs, and when I try to join a game or instant action match, nexuiz crashes with this error:


I really don't want to disable all announcements, just the ones that say how many frags remain. Also if there was a way to disable that little place counter that shows your rank as a fraction in a DM server that would also be great

If you open data20080229.pk3 with a zip program, you can make your way down the folder hierarchy to figure out which sounds you'd like to replace.

In this case, I believe you want "sound\announcer\robotic". If you were to make a "sound\announcer\robotic" hierarchy in your data folder and drag those files into it, you can replace them with blank sounds. Folder structures have priority above data packs.

i.e. make data\sounds\announcer\robotic\3fragsleft.ogg a blank ogg file.

Thats what I did. It worked, the files were replaced, and kept in the same location, and I verified that they were blank (I deleted the audio in a wave editor and saved them).

Maybe they became unreadable by the game or something? Would someone else be able to modify them, and upload them for me?

Please anybody?

Seems something is wrong with your programm or you made a mistake when exporting the files. To play it save you can use the files from the pack 4m mentioned:

Download and open it with a zip programm and simply remove all the files you want still to be played in the game.
The three files you want to keep are: "1fragleft.ogg", "2fragsleft.ogg", "3fraggsleft.ogg"
Delete all other files in the "sound/announcer/robotic" directory and also the complete "sound/announcer/male" directory.
After that place your modified no_announcer.pk3 in your Nexuiz/data directory.
I hope that will do it.
