[SOLVED] How-To: Replace annoying vehicle warning/alarm beep sounds on Linux, Mac OS X

To get rid of the annoying vehicle warning/alarm sounds on a UNIX system, open a console/terminal and do this:

Code:

mkdir -p ~/.xonotic/data/sound/vehicles
cd ~/.xonotic/data/sound/vehicles
wget http://qubodup.net/f/xonotic/alarm.wav
wget http://qubodup.net/f/xonotic/alarm_shield.wav

The next step is to make/find sounds that are less annoying than my lame recordings.

Important: the replacement .wav files have to be 16 Bit. 24 Bit files will simply be ignored.

On Windows, http://ouns.nexuizninjaz.com/tech_data_directory.html will help you to figure out where to place the files.

Hope this helps!

Glad to hear it fnally worked out qubodup : )

so, the issue were really because we used 24 Bit files? Haha, sounds so crazy since it worked at least on windows : )

qubodup, you should make a pk3 file instead. It's much better than having files in the main space, because that can make troubleshooting a bit tedious.

It's also much easier for windows users.

I edited your title to remove "unix", you made it just long enough that replying is impossible due to the added "Re:" that pushes it above the length limit.
