Remove error sounds ingame (spell spam)

Hi,

I've been googling around but to no gain so far. I would like to remove all the error sounds in game when I try to cast an spell etc. So annoying to hear it in PvP.

There is a addon who makes it go away on retail but is there any solution for the vanilla client?

Much love!

There isn't an addon for this that works with this version to my knowledge, but there is a hacky way to achieve the same effect with macros but that also involves making a macro for every ability.

Thanks for the reply! Do you know where to find a list of those macros?

EDIT: found some retail posts about it, will see if I can use them for the vanilla client. If any warlock reads this post and uses these kind of macros, please share :).

If that doesn't work, you can use a MPQ editor and replace the .wav files with empty/muted ones.

Ah right. Found a comment about it earlier. I will definately try that out. I´ll try to use sony vegas to mute them and see how it goes :). Thanks!

EDIT: Can´t seem to find those files in the WoW folder. Any idea where to access them?

No problem mate, i recommend making a backup of the MPQ file you're editing if you do decide to mute the .wav files.

Trying this one but no luck with the sound.

/console Sound_EnableSFX 0
/run UIErrorsFrame:UnregisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE")
/cast Shadow Bolt
/run UIErrorsFrame:RegisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE")
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1

Any suggestions?

It is possible that Sound_EnableSFX was added in a later patch or simply doesn't work on Nostalrius.
