Name: Even Quieter Varied Spell Sounds
Version: 1.0
Date: 8/08/2008
Category: Misc.
Requirements: Oblivion Patch 1.1.511, Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE)
Author: original work by Agarr, sound edited by sproaty
Requires: Varied Spell Sounds by Agarr, http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14799


Description
===========
I took the Quieter Varied Spell Sounds (http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15563) by chrisdragon425 and made the sound files 10dB quieter in Audacity, as I felt that still the sounds were too loud, e.g. casting 3 restoration spells in succession to heal yourself a bit was annoyingly loud, and other spell sounds startled me due to their volume. 


Details
=======
Sound files added into /sound/fx/spl/

Install
=======
Install the required file, Varied Spell Sounds by Agarr, http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=14799 then extract the folder from this mod into /sound/fx/spl/ - overwriting the existing files, which will have been placed by the original file. 

A preview archive is included in this archive to allow you to listen to the difference. They do sound quiter but in-game there is a big difference, and the sounds are still audible.


---NOTE--- 
You must have either the AgarMoreVariedSpellEffects.esp or AgarMoreVariedSpellEffects_SupremeMagic (depending on you using SM or not) file active for this to work, because it adds specialised sound effects to all types of spells. Before, Oblivion had very general sounds for its magic school, e.g. 2 illusion spells shared the same sound, now they have their unique sounds.


Incompatibility
===============
None since it is replacing existing files

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
Nothing known, let me know if I missed any files, or if you feel any are too quiet, etc.
