No Beeping Mines - Silent Mines

A small mod to silence the mines. Yes, those plate like easy to boost jump from, and even if they catch you, not doing any harm, mines. See the tech demo in the video section.

How to install?

Either with your prefered Mod Manager, or manually by moving the Data folder inside the zipped download, into your game Starfield root folder, where ever that may be.

If not yet existent, also make a file named "StarfieldCustom.ini" and place it to your UserName/Documents/MyGames/Starfield folder, put this right in:

bInvalidateOlderFiles=1

sResourceDataDirsFinal=

This will make sure loose file mods will be correctly read and enabled.

Does this disable Achievements?

How was it made?

Don't ask. It's complicated. All you need to know is it took about 2 hours, had me installing 4 different new tools: Audacity, Audiokinect&Wwise, and two different and somewhat "shaddy" converters, because one sound file simply refused to be converted by the other tool.

Basically you use the shaddy Github converters to convert from .wem to .wav or .ogg. Then you use Audacity to modifie and export and/or export as .wav. Then you use Wwise to convert back into the .wem format readable by the game. Oh yeah, and of course 30 minutes of building an exclusive account on Audiokinect for simply converting three audio files.

Also, I can't even say if "trial" means they are going to give me the boot after 4 weeks, and then I'd need to search for a different audio solution.

Will this be improved?

Sure, if you speak your ideas. I haven't found anything else yet I want to silence or change audio wise.

Which files are changed?

230720047.wem, 42224614.wem, 713916836.wem. One makes click, the other one makes beep, and the third one makes beep beep BOOM! I can't exactly tell which one does what, you'd have to figure over here.

Let's be honest. The game is way to easy even on vh difficulty. Every aspect that makes the game harder is welcome for hardcore freaks like me. Combine this with turned of explosive indicators in StarUI and you might find yourself waving your freak flag high, in a world of rage quit and broken keyboards.
