[SOLVED] promods 2.20 question: loud, annoying sound effects 'music'?

[Eddie Yantz]

When playing with promods 2.20 with patches, an annoying (heavy beating bass line) plays (volume is controlled with sound effects). Anyone else experience it? How do I get rid of it without turning off sound effects (e.g., engine and traffic sounds)?

Not sure what you are talking about. What kind of patches? I am using Promods 2.20 and it's ok. And as far as I know there are no more hotfixes for Promods (they decided it's best to use full releases instead of hotfixes even for bug fixes).

Are you using a hotfix from one of the previous versions? If so, remove it.

I think he means the sounds by special places. On diffrent places on the map they create a music experience. Thats in real life too. Exemple... you have in Poland nearly the border with Germany a music point on a parking and people comes to a meeting from Promods Poland.

Ah, right, that happens in some places. This is, I am sure, intentional. Fortunately, it doesn't happen a lot.

If you are experiencing it everywhere, then something is wrong. Check your mods' load order and keep in mind that Promods changed their load order a while ago. They now go to the bottom of the list Def->Map->Models1,2,3->Media->Assets (Assets last).

i havnt used 2.20 yet, but as the guys mentioned, its probably pre-placed/enhanced ambience.
youl find it, or rather hear it in other mods too like realistic/enhanced traffic mods etc.
most will mention that there is added ambience.

added ambience is something used to "enhance" certain areas/cells.
some of it can be done really well, while others,, well,, lets just say it depends on the quality of the ambient sound files as to wether or not your ears bleed..

unfortunately, you cant edit/turn down/off these extra sounds, like the irrtating looping bird tweeting/squeekin/screechin.. etc.

not promods tho mind. big devs putting out big work.
(but i guess theres always something that we would want added, or removed, or turned down).

Are you sure it can't be turned down? I have the in-game music volume (different from the radio volume) turned all the way down and I've been using Promods for ages and have NEVER heard any music unless I was playing something through the radio.

Thanks guys. It IS localized ambient; driving away fixed it. I also changed my load order and got rid of old patches.

Thanks so much!!
