Mute Bards 2
Version: 2.0.6
by: MadDachshund [More]
Based on Mute Bards by YayRP.

This addon allows you to mute bards in cities/sub-zones that you specify.

The mod comes with a preset list of some of the zones with bards. You can add to or remove from that list as you see fit. Getting the subzone name for the current zone can be complicated. I recommend using AUI MiniMap (which shows the subzone name).

Type /mutebards to view and edit the list of zones (or go to Settings > Addons > Mute Bards 2.0).

Want to hear "Red Diamond" one more time? No problem. Remove it from the list.

Mute Bards doesn't interfere with your music, footsteps, or dialogue volume. Effects will always play at the default 70 volume during combat.

This is all based on a messy hack that involves singling out zones where Effects are most annoying and selectively turning them off. Side effects include, but are not limited to: no sound when you burglarize people's nightstands in bard zones, roll dodge tumbling sound, whistling for a mount.

One last disclaimer. I have added functionality to allow you to refresh the muting effect without leaving a zone, but if you reload UI, while you're within a zone, refresh won't work until you change zones again. This is because I temporarily store the last zone you entered (thus the zone you are currently in) but reloading the UI will delete that variable, so I won't be able to know what zone you're in the next time you hit refresh.

Unhappy How is there no "ALL" button?

look, don't get me wrong, i really appreciate this mod. the bards in bethesda titles are arguably the worst part of the entire series, which is saying something. still, the mod is very clearly able to target basically any region in the game, and comes with a preset list.

why is that list not just preset to every region, or at least why don't we have a button that can do that? i've typed in "all" and it does nothing besides add the word all to the list, but i truly don't feel that the user should be made to manually visit and insert every single zone as they visit them when we've specifically come to your mod with the intention of *muting all bards*

oh! I needed this so much to mute the horrendous bard that never shuts up in Vastyr, but the zone appears as unknown. So sad! Any chance of getting this updated to Galen so we can mute that hideous bard? Thanks in advance.

I am sort of trying to step away from using this, as I don't mind the repetition of the music so much anymore.

And, I do not know why or how, but is it possible that even after removal, the addon behaviour remains active in the game?

I think the solution might be to force refresh a few times and wait for the "perfect" moment, and then cleanly quit the game. Still, I love what the addon does, but it's something I would probably prefer to have a slash command for. Maybe I'll flip-flop with reloadui. ^^'

Inside MuteBards2 folder:


Else Minion is not able to find the addon as the foldername must be the same as the .txt filename of your addon! Minion just extracts the contents of the zip file. It would extract the lua txt and xml files to the folder live/AddOns directly if the folder is missing, making the addon not work/not be found by the vanilla ingame addon manager.

This also does not work if ppl download your addon via www.esoui.com directly. If they extract it either the software used (e.g. WinZip, WinRar, etc.) will create a new folder called live/AddOns/MuteBards2_2.0-r5" in the end, or if no folder is automatically created upon extraction of the zip archive the files will be also just extarcted directly to "live/AddOns". Both won't work properly with the ingame addon manager and the addon most probbaly will fail to show and load (maybe it shows up as the txt file is detected by the ingame addon manager, but I guess it wont).

I'm wondering the same thing. I figured adding it to ESOUI would automatically get it into minion, but it didn't, and I haven't been able to find any documentation stating how you would get it in there.
