how to disable waypoint crossing sound

Hi,

There's a sound that plays whenever a waypoint is passed - precisely, right before the "onRaceWaypoint" and "onRaceWaypointReached" hooks are defined. I've been disabling the sound by commenting out 2 lines in ge/extensions/scenario/waypoint.lua:

Code:

    
      -- Engine.Audio.playOnce('AudioGui', "event:>UI>Special>Checkpoint")
      extensions.hook( 'onRaceWaypoint', data)
    end
  elseif w.cur ~= -1 then
    local data = {cur = w.cur, curPos = wpData.pos, curRot = wpData.rot, curRadius = wpData.radius, next = w.next,
                  vehicleId = vid, vehicleName = bo:getField('name', ''),
                  waypointName = w.waypointConfig[w.cur] and w.waypointConfig[w.cur].cpName or "", time = scenario.timer - dtOff, lapDiff = lapDiff,
                  currentLapConfig = getVehicleLapConfig(vid)
                }

    extensions.hook('onRaceWaypointReached', data)

    if (bo.playerUsable == true or bo.playerUsable == '1') then
      -- Engine.Audio.playOnce('AudioGui', "event:>UI>Special>Checkpoint")
      extensions.hook( 'onRaceWaypoint', data)

1) is there a less hacky way to do this, possibly mod-friendly? Maybe I can have my mod load up and point to a modified version of waypoint.lua that has no sounds? Is there a way to do this?

2) Ideally, it would be best if the devs could add an option to not play those sounds. That way, people that are designing more immersive gameplay mods (such as myself - I'm working on a rally thing that needs a lot of waypoints) can turn it off. For example, there's a "hide" method for the racemarker object. It makes sense that you can also mute the various audio clips.

Thanks in advance!

 

Thank you, it works, and it's super powerful, I was really hoping I could do something like that.

The only issue is that I have to restart the game (R) for it to work properly. I'm sure there are many hacky ways to fix this probably (like, maybe forcing a reload?), but while you're here I might as well learn something. What's the cleanest way to get it to load on the first time?

Thanks in advance!

P.S.: it'd still be nice if we could disable the sound without having to do this.

 

Cool, thanks for the input. I'll experiment with it
