Who ever made the decision to add them dumb comments by the police need firing lol.
It really takes away the seriousness of what the police should be in night city. They should be brutal, and say something like "On route, we about to blow some knee caps off ladies and gents".. not "Oh I would of answered but I was taking a leak" or "I only answered because it's you".
Hey hgyi56, are you still doing updates to your sound mods?
I just started the DLC and unfortunately noticed that it also has the annoying crime reporting while driving or entering your vehicle. Instead of the police dispatch you have militech jabbering on and on about your crimes. Any chance of releasing an update that also removes dispatch for Phantom Liberty?
Did some digging, apparently editing the strings (simply leaving an empty string) in the .json subtitles file under BOTH: base\localization\en-us\subtitles\open_world\scenes\ncpd_radio.json and ep1\localization\en-us\subtitles\overlay_open_world\scenes\ncpd_radio.json seems to get rid of the text but unfortunately it keeps the "NCPD Dispatcher: ". I haven't done extensive testing so might cause issues, although shouldn't.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask... But is it possible for you to make a mod that makes the police dispatch audio also play when not in a vehicle? In the vanilla game you only hear the police dispatch radio when you are in a vehicle and commit a crime, is it possible for you to make it so the police radio audio also plays when not in a vehicle and you commit a crime without driving? Thanks.
You can remove all voices both male and female. But the reason why I made a male-only version is because the game developers have made serious female dialogues with silly male responses. They are being the sexist ones for doing this... listening to silly cops responding is annoying so I prefer to remove them.
This mod is essential as the male police officer's replies are extremely annoying. It's so weird to hear the same forced jokes over and over again, really breaks the immersion.
EDIT: The only two problems I noticed:
1. The game still shows subtitles for the responses even though they are muted.
2. The game decreases the radio song volume when dispatch speaks. So, the radio volume remains decreased for some time even though the male officer's reply is muted. Would be great if you could fix that, maybe even remove the whole volume decrease thing altogether as it's quite useless.
Odd, I don't seem to have that problem. The audio levels don't change for the radio when dispatch kicks in. Although I am using my own custom radio stations. Perhaps that is why I have no issues with this mod.
Of course, it's a scripted behaviour for vanilla radio stations, custom radios won't have it. This system is also quite unpredictable, sometimes volume decreases just a bit, and sometimes it's massive. Would be great to get rid of this whole thing.
Sweet, now my game is mod complete. Guess I can finally get around to playing this game now. Greatly appreciate all that you have done hgyi56. Really cool of you to fill requests.
By the way, so glad you suggested the female dispatch only. I actually prefer that to my original request.

I will see if I can do this.

At 1.63 (and previous versions) car/motorcycle exhaust pipe flame do happen, but it almost have no sound.
After 2.0 car/motorcycle exhaust pipe flame increase the sound every time players character changes the gear (or whatever).
Sorry for bad English.
