Short description
This simple mod mutes speech (including swearing) and pain sounds from pedestrians and your player. This is outside of missions, on the streets, when roaming. Only muting swearing would be nice but it’s not possible with a script. You would have to change game sound files with openIV.
When I made this mod I could not find any native functions which disables/mutes speech/dialog during cutscenes or missions.
This mod is included in my other mod, Family Friendly Free Roaming.
Installation
You need the lastest version of the tool Script Hook V by Alexander Blade in order for this mod to work.
Put MutedSpeechAndPain 1.x.asi and MutedSpeechAndPain.ini into your GTA5 folder where your GTA5.exe is located. Remove it again to remove the mods feature. Note that the mod is disabled when going online into multiplayer.
New to .rar?
Download and install winrar and then right click on the .rar file and extract the .asi and .ini files. http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm (choose the one with x64)
Configuration
Open MutedSpeechAndPain.ini with notepad and edit. Values are set/updated directly. The file looks like this:
(1 means on, 0 means off)
[Player_Sounds]
pain_sounds=0
speech_sounds=0
[Pedestrian_Sounds]
pain_sounds=0
speech_sounds=0
Changelog:
-2.0
7 years later and here’s an update.
— All ambient speech turned off by default.
— “world audio” modifying feature added. The modifier/scene is connected to audio names from the game which can be chosen from a list. Each audio name modifies the world audio in a different way. One modifier is added for when on foot and another modifier when in a vehicle.
— Special setting added for muting the world when pressing keys/buttons (default CTRL+0). All audio except UI sounds. Just like the modifiers for on foot and when in a vehicle, the modifying audio scene name can be changed to do something else than muting, by using another name.
— Cutscenes muted by default (all audio). Note that an issue causes the first seconds of the
prologue cutscene to still play when starting a new game.
— Pedestrian speech and pain can be set to only be played when outside of vehicles.
— The mod can be activated/deactivated with keys/buttons (default CTRL + NUMPAD 9).
— The police scanner is off by default. It can be set to not be affected by the mod.
— Settings for features, allowing for customization.
— Minor features and settings.
-1.1
— Configuration file added with speech and pain sounds on/off options.
