I know there is another silent alarm here by Shark7
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2479146

But I made all alerts silent for my own convenience. After playing a while, it's a bliss for me with all alerts silent. There are four sound files here, copy them to your DistantWorlds\Sound\Effects folder. I use visual indications instead, and check the log/alerts manually.

Credit for the silent sounds goes to Xamuel, which I then converted to WAV using foobar2000. I used appropriate length ones, don't think it matters though.

Edit:
Old instructions above, they are for DW: Shadows.
For Distant Worlds Universe, just copy the files to
\Distant Worlds Universe\Customization\[Your Compilation mod folder]\Sounds\Effects

Also I recommend you use Sirian's Message mod for the messages instead of mine below (I do).

I made a very small change to two messages. Yeah, it's simple but what I want. Also, it's about max what my graphical editing skills allow me to do. ;)

The files go to your DistantWorlds\images\ui\messages folder.

Very nicely done

Never noticed they were the wrong color before, look much better the way you have done them.

Even after playing for years, the red "success" check still throws me for a half second...

Well done Buio.

Thanks for the images. Makes much more sense this way.

Love the green. Much easier to figure out what's going on. Thanks!

Well done!

I had plans to extend my own null sound alarm mod, but this is just as good, plus the green image update takes it up one notch.
