World-of-warcraft – Is it possible to change the fishing sound

world of warcraft

Fishing in World of Warcraft involves casting and then waiting for the fishing bobber to move, which is accompanied by the sound of water splashing.

Fishing

I used to use a modification that disabled all of the casting sounds in World of Warcraft, which consisted of replacing all of the associated game sounds with silent files, stored in a folder called 'Sound' within the 'Data' folder – so I imagine that this is possible, but does anybody know how to change the water splashing sound that indicates you've caught something?

Best Answer

The Sound.MPQ file contains these four files relating to the splashing:

Sound\Spells\FishingBobber_ver2_1.ogg
Sound\Spells\FishingBobber_ver2_2.ogg
Sound\Spells\FishingBobber_ver2_3.ogg
Sound\Spells\Tradeskills\FishBite.ogg

I can't quite tell if all of them are still being used, but I'm pretty certain there aren't any more than these.

Override them as usual, by placing new OGG files with these paths in your Data directory.
