annoying clicks

[teekay]

Playing AC, at random moment and random maps loud clicks start sounding. It is a very annoying and repeating click. The clicks appear and disappear random and sometimes keep going on for 2 or 3 minutes. Anybody with the same prob? At first I tought it was a ambientsound but running in the previous areas again the clicks were gone so it couldn't be a maprelated sound.

strange ticking noise?

When playing with bots you'll hear this a lot: it's the sound players make when they are out of ammo. It's so loud because it's supposed to give you an advantage, to be able to hunt down the enemies while they have no ammo.

Oh thats what that is! I hate that xD

Me too.

It's supposed to be that loud? I thought this is a bug and I still do hope it will be fixed...

You can mute it if it bugs you enough:

[SELECT ALL] Code:

/mutesound 24 0

I always assumed it was loud to give enemies a big heads-up.

[SELECT ALL] Code:

/mutesound 24 0

does it only mute the annoying clicks or al of the soundvolume?

Only the annoying clicks.

[SELECT ALL] Code:

/mutesound 24 0

I entered edit mode, textmode, typed "/mutesound 24 0 and pushed enter.

Clicks still there

I thought, maybe save it first:

Saved my map, closed program, start up program again, opened my map....

Clicks still there.

[Gibstick]

It's not in the map, it's just an AC sound. Type that then restart AC.

[V-Man]

er...
do you hear this sound at times when there are no bots around?

[Ronald_Reagan]

Maybe it is something in his sounds.cfg?
Did you touch those config files?
Try making a /newmap and see if they persist.

[V-Man]

If so, the only thing I can think of is to mute each sound one by one until the ticking stops.

[Ronald_Reagan]

Cant you write a script for that?

[titiPT]

Maybe it's not the clicking of the out of ammo bots. Maybe it's the same clicking i'm experiencing in my mac.

[Duckett]

It doesn't really bother me, I sometimes hear it when I see bots with Carbines.

[V-Man]

Maybe it's the same clicking i'm experiencing in my mac.

And what causes that? Is there some way to make it stop?

Here's a script to stop each sound one by one.

[SELECT ALL] Code:

soundnum = 0
keepmuting = 1
bind KEY [keepmuting = 0; echo Last sound muted was $soundnum]
alias soundmute [
if (> $soundnum 100) [echo All the sounds have been muted!] [
if $keepmuting [
mutesound $soundnum 0
echo Sound $soundnum muted
+= soundnum 1
sleep 500 [soundmute]
] []]]

Put it in your autoexec.cfg file, and change "KEY" to the key you want to stop the script after it starts.
In-game, type "soundmute" and it will mute one sound every half-second until you press the stop key or it mutes all the sounds. Once you press the key, it'll tell you which sound it last muted, and stop muting the rest of the sounds.
Press the key if you hear the clicking stop. Then take the sound number it gives you and look in sounds.cfg to see which sound that was. You can put a command in your autoexec to mute that sound always, in the form

[SELECT ALL] Code:

mutesound (sound number) 0

If the script mutes all the sounds, but you can still hear the clicking, it could either be an issue with the songs or a sound card/software issue. In this case, see if
/musicvol 0
or
/soundvol 0
or
/sound 0
(in that order)
make the sound stop. Let us know.
