Is there anyway to get Captain Obvious to shut up?

[Rebelyell]

You know, the guy who flips out and yells "OUR MEN ARE UNDER ATTACK" every single time the enemy releases a few arrows at my lines (apparently this guy was under the impression that war wouldn't have casualties?) Considering that sometimes there isn't any immediate thing I can do about enemy archers, is there anyway to shut him up? I've tried turning voice sound effects to zero, but I'm not big on the other voices being shut out as well as the fact that the music constantly dips in volume if a few of my guys dare to get hit with arrows.

While I have found a ton of other threads about this, they all turn into echo chambers consisting of people agreeing with the OP but not attempting to find any solution.

It's because there are none. You can't change that without shutting up all voices.

lol, turn off your speakers! Use the subtitles and you can read his useless warnings instead!

Put the attached file in data folder and you should never hear captain obvious again. If you want to use this with vanilla you need to put the [io] file_first = true in medieval2.preferences.cfg

There must be a sound file (.wav or something) somewhere. Maybe the sound file itself could be changed into silence? It would be a little trickier if the "our men are under attack!" voice was incorporated into a larger file that includes other vocalizations (such as "We have lost half of our men," etc.), but perhaps the specific time-segment of the file that is "our men are under attack" could be edited to silence?

It's packed in either events.dat or voice.dat, I'm not sure. To get rid of the mp3 would be a lot of unnecessary trouble. You just have to comment out the path to the sound file in the txt file I posted. It looks like this for each accent. Now in battle there should be no sound when it happens. Or it'll CTD, IDK.

Thanks for the rep Rebelyell, now I got the red fleur-de-lis

Appreciate it! I'll give this a shot!

DAT files are generated from the information that are in the snd text files which are in total 39 iirc. So after modding out the voices you would have to regenerate these DAT files if you want to get rid of those particular modded out sounds\dialogues. Otherwise you will still hear them i think.
