Function: Toggles sounds off and on for World of Goo

Place the file noSound.bat and the file silence.ogg into the WorldOfGoo folder, and then run it.

By default music sounds are changed.
If you want to toggle specifc folders, change the variable "Folder" below:
  • "" = ALL sounds
  • "sounds" = menu sounds
  • "music" = music
  • "movie" = cutscenes
  • "balls" = ball sound effects
(e.g. turn off ALL sounds: set Folder= ) WITHOUT QUOTES!
(e.g. turn off cutscenes sounds: set Folder=movie) WITHOUT QUOTES!

You want to get back your sound? Just click again "noSound.bat".

Have fun!

Download/Create the silence.ogg
First of it all, you need a soundfile without noise ;-)

You can download the silence.ogg at http://Dropbox-Download Link SILENCE.OGG or create one by yourself. You need to create a vorbis formated file like in the dropbox above!

OR Experimental:
Create the Script/Batch
Create a new text file and copy the following quote!

@echo off
::ONLY CHANGE THIS LINE===>
set Folder=music
::<==ONLY CHANGE THIS LINE

::PLEASE NO CHANGES BELOW
if not exist silence.ogg goto noSilence

set count=0
set root=%cd%

FOR /F "delims=" %%F IN ('dir /b/on/s res\%Folder%\*.ogg') DO call :toggleSound "%%F"
echo %count% Files changed
pause
exit /b

:toggleSound
set File=%1
set File=%File:~1,-1%
echo %File%
set Base=%File:~0,-4%

set /a count=%count%+1
if not exist "%Base%.org" goto noSound
del "%File%"
move "%Base%.org" "%File%"
exit /b

:noSound
copy "%File%" "%Base%.org"
copy "%root%\silence.ogg" "%File%"
exit /b

:noSilence
echo File silence.ogg has to be in \WorldOfGoo folder!
pause
exit /b
save the textfile and rename it to "noSound.bat" (without quotes)

For those of you whom do not wish to try and download the file OP provides, you can look up a program called audacity (free) and make your own empty ogg file. It's not too hard.

Also the batch is fine for those of you who don't know what you're looking at.
