Removing the 'Ping' Sound
Every time you click the mouse in Ascendancy you will hear a 'ping'. If you find this annoying and want to remove it you can follow these steps.
- Make a backup of your Ascendancy folder and data
- Download the COB extractor utility from the Trancendancy Project. Place it in the same folder as ascend.exe.
- Run the extractor tool on ASCEND01.COB with
>COBExtract.exe ASCEND01.COB /raw
- This dumps the data into the folder 'ASCEND01'. Note: if the extractor fails to create the folder (due to lack of permissions) you may need to create a folder called ASCEND01 first.
- Delete or move the file ASCEND01\data\button.voc (this is the sound file for the ping)
- Create a new file named "button.voc" that is 0kb in size (you can just create a blank text file and change the name)
- Run the extractor to re-create ASCEND01.COB with
>COBExtract.exe ASCEND01.cobfilelist /create
You should now be able to launch the game and not hear the ping when you click.
