Pressing F10 - different chants remain compared to 16/17 - why?

I am kinda used to playing Amiga SWOS 16/17 and pressing F10 to mute some of the more 'present / in your face / strongly repetitive' chants. In this version it looks like the BG Crowd Noise BGCRD3L.* is the one that remains, as it is called in the SWOS Toal Pack 2020.

So the difference in SWOS 2020 is, when I press F10 there with the new Total Pack 2020 it looks like the more 'present / in your face / strongly repetitive' chants remain, this could be either Main Chant CHANT4L.* , CHANT8L.* or CHANT10L.* or all of these?

• Who knows what chants are muted in SWOS 2020 when pressing F10?
• Could there also be Default Sounds MOD in the MODs list, so that I can switch chants around e.g.?

Kudos on the whole package. Overall from what I tested so far, it all seems to work. And I really like the elaborate commentary from Jon Champion and Jim Beglin. These seem to work best if there is at least some background chanting, so therefore my questions above .

F10 seems to turn off the all chants except for the Main Chants CHANT4L.RAW , CHANT8L.RAW or CHANT10L.RAW in SWOS 2020 Total Pack. And off course the F10 function is different compared to Amiga SWOS 16/17, since that one doesn't have commentary at all. So thanks for adding Commentary to the Amiga version of the game .

Finally a SOLUTION using the SWOS 2020 Total Pack system:

1. Add FolderX to the path: /yourgamesfolder/SWOS 2020 Total Pack/custom/sound_sfx/
2. Add another folder called Generic to FolderX, so the path is: /yourgamesfolder/SWOS 2020 Total Pack/custom/sound_sfx/FolderX/generic/
3. Placed all the Default sound files in that folder.
4. Checked custom SFX in the SWOS Total Pack 2020 system.
5. Replaced all the Main Chant sounds CHANT4L.RAW , CHANT8L.RAW or CHANT10L.RAW to BGCRD3L - original.RAW (renamed it to make sure there are no double files used in the system).

This seems to work. Only one small problem remains, is that when you have pressed F10 ingame the system thinks you have 'turned off' all chants. So in order to only have the Main Chants, you have to go back to the menu, turn on chants and then ingame press F10 again. But since for my only the main chants were a bit too repetitive, I will just keep the chants on and maybe even add some from the sound files that I like.
