Is there any way to delete sound tags without having to extract the entire map?

A map I downloaded from here I absolutely love, but some of the sounds are very annoying (air raid siren, etc.) and I want to remove them. I've been trying all day to no avail, read many tutorials, and frankly, I'm stumped.

Am I just too dumb to edit the map? Or is there some way that isn't posted here.

ya u gotta extract it(from what iv read etc). hek+ does that right?

sorry man, theres pretty much nothing you can do about it. if you decompile, remove the sounds, and recompile like geared said, your map will have a different checksum than the map the server is running, and thus you will not be able to connect to the server with your modified map.

maybe there is a way to mute them but leave em in so it doesn't have the checksum issue?

Nope. Change 1 bit, litterally, of information in the file and the checksum is changed.

send me the map and maybe i can try. i can change the distance of how far the sound travels to 0.0001 if you want, effectively muting it, pretty much
