Unwanted Effect from Mod...

[MuayWarrior7]

So I just dusted off an old Oblivion Installation with 100+ mods, and I am getting a horrendous buzzing sound when there is an enemy in the area. The sound gets louder as the enemy gets closer or as I face the direction in which the enemy is...

 

Not only is the sound annoying but I dont really like being alerted to an enemy that I dont physically see,

 

Does anyone happen to know what mod this is and if it is possible to disable just this function of said mod...

 

Just taking a shot in the dark here! Thanks to any ahead of time!

 

(PS wanted to go back and play/finish "fully" modded Oblivion before I get Skyrim!)

Sounds like the infamous Scripted Spell casting sound to me. One of your mods uses Scripted Spells for some advanced scripting approaches, like spamming the surrounding with AoE spells all the time, and due to Oblivion by default having a casting sound for these, also spamming you with the noise effects now. That's what so-called "Script Effect Silencers" were made for. Only with those the Scripted Spells won't make an annoying sound anymore every time a script spams them in order to 'scan' the surroundings, for actors and such, everything a spell can hit will get a script running on it this way.

 

Midas Magic, as it is inside your load order, should have one of these in place on its own already, but it's very easy for those to become undone by other mods also changing spell effects loading later. Other magic overhauls have their own ones usually as well, perhaps even the Unofficial Oblivion Patch, an otherwise absolutely inevitable mod anyways, you can use a stand-alone approach like Duke Patrick's famous "Basic Script Effect Silencer", or there should be a setting in Wrye Bash's "bashed patch" configuration for doing the same. (Using that many conflicting plugins without a bashed patch would be suicidal anyways.)

Thank you very much for the reply, I am downloading DP's Script Silencer now! Seriously, thank you.

 

Also, yeah I read the bashed patch is a must, but when I ran Wrye Bash and made one my Oblivion crashed as soon as I loaded it with the Bashed Patch... It unchecked the "used" mods and created the Bashed Patch, I loaded it last and crashed... so I gave up on it... ?

 

If you have any advice on the Bashed Patch I would be grateful!

 

Again thank you for the information!

[MuayWarrior7]

OK got the bashed patch working too! :laugh:

 

In the past I was re-adjusting the load order without rebuilding the patch, thank you again for your knowledge!
