Turn off Encyclopedia voice?

[Snaphaan]

Is it possible?

Every time I want to read the info I get distracted with that voice. I don't want all speech turned off from just that bloody annoying speech synth that happens every time I want more info...

It's driving me insane!!


Also (I should probably made a list of stuff):

Is there any way to command fleets a bit quicker. I have to...

1) Press Ctr+P
2) Press down arrow 3 x times, right arrow, enter - to select fleet or...
In a battle try and calm myself to move the mouse on the little button to select the fleet when I press Ctr + P.
3) Select command, select subcommand or sub-sub command.

Right, I just need something to return them quickly to formation.

I have a similar issue with regards to the highway music (and to a lesser extent combat music) - the ambient tracks that play while flying around are mostly excellent, but the combat tracks are a bit louder and not quite as much my cup of tea, and the highway music is WAY too loud and annoying, so I really wish I could turn it way down or off altogether. But I found a workaround of sorts (besides hardly ever using highways - sometimes this is just not possible, especially in the early game), and this works also for the annoying "smalltalk" convos, so should work for you too: there's a mute function that can be keybound - just set a convenient, accessible key to it, and then you can just mute all sound whenever something annoying plays. Yes, it's a bit of hassle (a keystroke to mute, another to un-mute afterward), but it still helped me to retain some shreds of sanity... (Now I just play older X titles instead. )

This should solve a part of your problem: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... xt=highway

It works like a charm!


As for betty's voice and the combat music, I don't know anything similar.
At some point, though, I just turn off the music volume and play my own music.

@Ezarkal: Thanks for that link I've saved it, in case I should ever play Rebirth again - I consider it a significant QoL enhancement!

I've found a shortcut to turn own the sound completely which helps then I try and read something.

Thanks anyway

Still have command issues and also... it's a nightmare to get ships following my skunk to help with protection missions. They are always waaaay to late, or it's a keyboard nightmare just to get them there before me.

Just horrible!!! Will make a new post for this.
