📋 About This Mod

Silent Failed Search Sound

What this mod does:

Basically, just what the description says: if the search function finds nothing interesting nearby, it will no longer make that "pssh" sound, it will just stay quiet. If there IS something of interest nearby it will still make a sound, so that you know where to look.

It will still make a sound for things that light up on the map e.g loot, collectibles, or facilities for armor, weapons, potions or requisitions, etc.

Made because I spam the search button and tire easily of the sound, didn't see the point in hearing it if there was nothing there.

Installation

Install the fbmod with frosty mod manager v 1. 0. 5. 1 or above, or the daimod with dai mod manager. Do not install both, chose one or the other, they both do the same thing, just for different mod managers.

This has had minimal testing and I've never edited audio before soo tell me if there's problems or anything!
