Quieter Mantle Hitsounds

About this mod Machine translation
Hitting Valhazak with Energetic Mantle will often produce a very loud banging sound while standing in its stinky mist. This mod reduces the thumping sound of the Vitality and Rocksteady Mantle, as well as the combo sound when being hit while using the Rocksteady Mantle. Other mantles and hits sharing the same audio file will be affected. Any other audio module using the same file will be replaced.
Depending on your preference, three audio levels are provided, reducing to approximately 50%, 25% and 10% based on the original volume level.
50% is my preferred level as it still provides audio feedback that's under attack without being annoying.
How to install:
Open the archive and extract the preferred audio level folder (nativePC folder with suffix _xx, where xx is the new audio level of 50%, 25% or 10%).
Rename nativePC_xx to nativePC.
Copy/move to MHW game directory.
How to delete:
Delete the nativePC folder from the game directory (may affect other installed mods), or find and delete these two files in the nativePC\sound\wwise\Windows folder: askill004.nbnk, askill006.nbnk
Select a specific sound to change:
askill004.nbnk contains chain slap sounds
askill006.nbnk contains bang
Remove/Add preferred.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
