is it possible to have silent characters?

[eggy]

hello! is there any way to make my party silent? am aware of if name a custom portrait like: "minotaur_male_01.tga", it will cause whichever character with that portrait to have a male minotaur voice, but, is there a way to make a character have no voice at all? thanks!

No voice meaning no grunts and screams?

We're talking other than the obvious... turn down/mute the speakers, right?

In the Options, you can MUTE Sound Effects. This will stop the character sounds (for example when they fall off a ledge). But this will also stop the sound effects (for example when you step on a floor, pull a level or chain, etc).

No voice meaning no grunts and screams?

yes. just the voices the party makes.
that looks like it will do. does it go in the config file that is in the almost human folder?

It can go anywhere in the init.lua file that is after the #import of sounds.lua; or it can be in any of the other lua files in the mod's scripts folder—except dungeon.lua.

hmm, do not see a init.lua anywhere?

All editor projects exist in their own folder in the dungeons folder, within the Almost Human folder. Inside the mod-project, the lua files exist in the scripts folder.

A typical path on Windows OS (with placeholder names shown in brackets) is:
C:\Users\ [your user name] \Documents\Almost Human\Legend of Grimrock 2\Dungeons\ [your project name] \mod_assets\scripts\init.lua

A typical path on Linux OS (with placeholder names shown in brackets) is:
/home/ [your user name] /.local/share/Almost Human/Legend of Grimrock 2/Dungeons/ [your project name] /mod_assets/scripts/init.lua

**I don't have it installed on Mac OSX, but it would probably be installed similar to this (guessed) path:
/Library/Application Support/Almost Human/Legend of Grimrock 2/Dungeons/ [your project name] /mod_assets/scripts/init.lua
