Introduction
Just the name 'Kashyyyk' fills any seasoned KotoR fan with dread for one simple reason--the tach screeches. They're loud, they're jarring, and distracting at best. At worst, well, they drive you to slay every single one of the darn things just to preserve your oh-so-fragile sanity. If only there was a way to make them less annoying, without breaking your immersion! Good news: now you can!
Inspired by the charming Tach hackle replacement by Detran, here is my attempt to rectify the issue by making the non-combat tach noises a little more bearable by replacing the sound with a distant wren's call. I haven't changed the sounds for the hit, attack, or death files, but hearing those is at least optional, and not as egregious as the non-combat screech.
Installation
Unzip the .wav file into your streamsounds folder in the swkotor directory. Overwrite if prompted.
The original tach image I used for this page is credited to Jedipedia. The source of the original sound is Diablo II, with some minor editing by me. This is a fanmade mod for KotoR. No copyright infringement is intended by usage of these assets, and I will remove or change the file if it becomes a problem.
Enjoy!
