Re: Dom III sitll gets some parental attention
 

Errr...I don't understand what you're talking about.

I'm speaking of a *mechanical* sound. When I play at night, I turn off all sound and music I'm not that crazy. Not with my wife 2 meters away.
But I don't see or ever heard of a way to soften the clicking sound of the mouse and don't understand how a software could do it.

Re: Dom III sitll gets some parental attention
 

Ahhh....
you should take a look at the mouse driver (auto load program that runs the mouse).
It should have an option for that.

Yeah you can change the volume of your keyboard in task manager too.

Of course, if it's just the sound your Operating System makes when you click with the mouse, aside from disabling the sound in your OS's appropriate location, you could just turn off/unplug your speakers.

Depending on his OS. But if its most Windows then Sombre is right.
It probably is Windows since he didnt say. Kindof like being American. :)

I think what Kheldron is refering to is the sound the mouse makes by itself, even when not hooked to a computer (the microswitch or whatever (I am for not tech savvy) making the sound). Even the keyboard feels like it makes an awful lot of noise when rest of the house is silent and everybody else are sleeping.

Laptops with their soft keyboards and mousepads are the solution then, even though fan of my laptop is way more noisier than on the tabletop; it's actually a lose-lose situation, but people playing blood nations in Dominions got shortest straw when trying to stay as silent as possible...

Hee hee. I feel your pain, and I certainly mean no offense but it is a little funny how you've been misinterpreted. Those of us who play in bedrooms with sleeping girls nearby know well that turning off your speakers does not make your computer silent. I bought a keyboard with very quiet keys, but my mouse makes a racket. There's a reason that the mouse action is called a "click", and Dominions is a very click-y game.

ESPECIALLY if you're a blood nation using scouts to move slaves around. Clickity clickity click.

You think so huh?

Win. Especially when followed by:

and here i thought obvious troll was obvious.

Re: Dom III sitll gets some parental attention
 

I generally prefer to kill everybody while they're sleeping and stuff their bodies in my icebox. But I guess a quiet laptop might work too. Whatever floats your boat I guess.
