Silent Launch
Silent (but not Deadly to your Ears) Launch
This mod replaces the booming sound effect that the game plays when initially starting the game (Press any button to start) and launching Adventure or Survival modes with silence.
INSTALL (Manual ba2 File Method):
Extract the Silent Launch.ba2 file to your Fallout 76 Data folder
(default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda.net Launcher\games\Fallout76\Data)
Navigate to your Fallout 76 settings folder in “My Games” (default: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\My Games\Fallout 76)
If this is your first mod, add the following line to the [Archive] section of Fallout76Custom.ini:
sResourceArchive2List = SeventySix – 00UpdateMain.ba2, SeventySix – 01UpdateMain.ba2, SeventySix – 00UpdateStream.ba2, SeventySix – 01UpdateStream.ba2, SeventySix – 00UpdateTextures.ba2, SeventySix – 01UpdateTextures.ba2, SeventySix – MeshesExtra.ba2, SeventySix – GeneratedMeshes.ba2, SeventySix –
02UpdateMain.ba2, SeventySix – 02UpdateStream.ba2, SeventySix – 02UpdateTextures.ba2, Silent Launch.ba2
If not, add the name of the new archive, “Silent Launch.ba2”, to the list:
[Archive]
sResourceArchive2List = SeventySix – 00UpdateMain.ba2, SeventySix – 01UpdateMain.ba2, SeventySix – 00UpdateStream.ba2, SeventySix – 01UpdateStream.ba2,
SeventySix – 00UpdateTextures.ba2, SeventySix – 01UpdateTextures.ba2, SeventySix – MeshesExtra.ba2, SeventySix – GeneratedMeshes.ba2, SeventySix – 02UpdateMain.ba2, SeventySix – 02UpdateStream.ba2, SeventySix – 02UpdateTextures.ba2, BetterInventory.ba2, Silent Launch.ba2
Note: I experimented with placing the mod on different lines such as sResourceArchiveMisc and sResourceArchiveList2 since those lines are shorter and probably less prone to error but it did not work. As of v1.1.1.2, the sResourceArchive2List is current but as the game is updated going forward, you may need to update this line. I will try to keep the description of the mod up to date.
INSTALL (Loose Files – Baka File Method):
