Could we please have the old sounds back? I really miss the eardrum bursting sound of 50 swords drawn at the beginning at the round. When I draw my sword these days I want to go hide somewhere because it sounds so ugly. Why has it been changed anyways?
Or is there some other workaround how to get the old sound back? would be nice if someone knows some way.

it was alot better originally...

Quick and dirty way : go in module.ini and find the line
"scan_module_sounds = 1"
and put it to 0. You won't hear any other modded sounds though (voice commands, female yells, siege equipment sounds if there are any ...). Might also crash since I only tried this with single player mods :P.
Problem is, they didn't added a new sound for drawing/sheathing weapons, but instead used one that is already in the core files. So you can't just replace it in the sound folder. It's probably possible to change it through the module system but it seems a lot of trouble just for a few sounds.
You can also install the more metal sounds mod.

thanks for the answers.
However, i'd like to keep the other sounds and the more metal sounds is nothing for me, though i like the general idea of it (I know, many here disagree but in my opinion the sounds in that mod are very very bad produced and destroy my whole game experience).
I'm still curious why they changed the draw-sound, is it supposed to be more realistic this way? a sub-psychological nerf for sword users? or simply an accident? :|

Well, realistic?
I don't really have a sword, since I use polearms. Does it go like: schwiiiiiiiiiiiing! when you draw it?
If yes, that's totally unrealistic.

try using more metal sounds mod. some great draw/sheath sounds

It did go like that, but the question is if this was the reason to change it because I for one don't care that much for realism in this context. The old sound simply was familiar and somehow satisfiying, the currently used is a turn-off.

Well that depends I have 2 sword one going schwiiing the other make pretty much the same sound that we heard in game.

A point about drawing swords (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzbfuI0PMdA).
Any doubts now?

great video :D. "isn't it a woody sound?"
still, I like a bit of hollywood here and there and especially in video games.
Or perhaps i could get a blunt sword in a steel scabbard?
-
its a shame the history channel doesnt scoop this guy up and put him on an hour a day...would certainly beat the stupid pickers and truckers shows
-
That guy is awesome :D
But still, I say we should go for "hollywood realism" and not "real realism" because of the entertaining value. Still nice to see more people learning this though :D

I don't like that Hollywood sound, it's simply annoying. You're an archer, you found other archer, try to come from behind. You put out your weapon and "SHWWWWIIIIIIIIING!" your would-be prey know that you're near and can fight back before you cut him in half. :evil:

mh, i see not many archers using swords these days.
also let me get this clear: you sneak on other archers to kill them in melee as an archer yourself? sounds strange to me.

Lies. All archers do whenever someone gets close to them is turn tail and run :P
