How to remove sounds, music, themes & loading screens...

Here the post i made some years ago! I havent been playing APB for a long time. So please let me know if I need to change or add anything!
 

 

Note: renaming the files like "Music.pck" to "Music.pck1" doesn't work! Something like "Music.txt" works!


How to remove loginscreen music:
If you remove this file you wont hear the loginscreen / character selection music anymore!

go to: \APB Reloaded\APBGame\Content\Audio\FilePackages
delete: "Streamed_Scaleform.pck", than create a new file and name it "Streamed_Scaleform.pck" 



How to remove loading screens:
If you remove these files you wont see the animated loading screens while joining a district!

go to: \APB Reloaded\APBGame\Movies
delete / rename: all *.bik files! 


You can also start the "apb. e x e" (not the "APBLauncher. e x e"!) with adding "-nomoviestartup" under properties. If you do choose this variant, you dont have to delete the videos! (thanks to dreamss!)
Like this:

 

 

How to remove themes:
If you remove these files you won't hear themes / the theme instruments (you also cant hear the sounds in the Music Maker)!

go to: \APB Reloaded\APBGame\Content\Audio\MusicStudio\

delete / rename: folder "Instruments"



How to remove ingame music / ingame songs:
If you remove these files you won't be able to listen other players car music or play the ingame music!

go to: \APB Reloaded\APBGame\Content\Audio\DefaultMusicLibrary

delete : files inside "DefaultMusicLibrary" 
Note: If you dont delete / rename the folder "Instruments" you will still hearing ingame created songs (created within the Music Studio like themes) from other players cars!



How to remove enviroment music (music played in certain areas in the district):
If you remove these files you won't hear the enviromental music anymore (Financial, Waterfront & Social)!

go to: \APB Reloaded\APBGame\Content\Audio\FilePackages

delete: "Streamed_Financial.pck" , "Streamed_Waterfront.pck" , "Streamed_Social.pck" 
than create a new file and name it "Streamed_Financial.pck" , "Streamed_Waterfront.pck" , "Streamed_Social.pck"



How to delete single enviroment sounds: (thanks to chaoticme!)
You can browse this folder and search for single files. They are named by their sound. 
(AS_*** , FN_*** , WF_*** , BSS_*** , RWS_*** , PGB_*** )

go to: \APB Reloaded\APBGame\Content\Audio\ParameterAssets\Emitters



How to remove "get your joker ammo" sounds: (thanks to Cpt.Larin)
If you remove these files you won't hear joker ammunition sounds anymore!

go to: \APB Reloaded\APBGame\Content\Audio\ParameterAssets\Emitters\
delete / rename: "FN_Music_JokerShop02", "FN_Music_JokerShop03", "RWS_JokerMusic", "RWS_JokerTannoy"



Note: If you want the files back, simply hit "Repair" located in the APB launcher under "Options". 

You could also just rename the files (e.g. name "Music.pck" to "Music.txt") and leave them in their folders. If you want them back in the game just change the filename to the original name. 


You got something to add? Send me a pm and i will add it to the first post!

thanks 

 

@MattScott @Selali @Lixil An option to remove these ingame would be awesome!

Please let us know if these changes are allowed or against TOS.
