How to Use
Using the patcher is straightforward. Just download the script, make it executable, and run it with administrator privileges.
// 1. Make the script executable
chmod +x ./runelite-sound-patcher
// 2. Run the patcher with admin privileges
sudo ./runelite-sound-patcher
Why sudo? Administrator privileges are required to correctly update the system's symbolic links for the audio libraries that RuneLite depends on. The script is open-source, so you can review the code yourself.
Behind the Scenes: How It Works
I created a short video explaining the problem and walking through how I wrote this patcher script. Watch it to understand what's happening under the hood.
