Very simple earplugs script

[js2k6]

Hi everyone,

Made a very basic script for earplugs for A2 Epoch

This method requires that you have dayz_spaceInterrupt.sqf in your mission.pbo

 

I use snap pro in my server, so my space interrupt file is located at custom\snap_pro\dayz_spaceinterrupt.sqf

 

look for the line that says

// Disable ESC after death
if (_dikCode == 0x01 && r_player_dead) then {
	_handled = true;
};

then add this below

if (_dikCode == 0x16) then
    {
        if (soundVolume == 1) then {
            1 fadeSound 0.25;
            hintSilent "Earplugs Inserted";
        }
            else
        {
            1 fadeSound 1;
            hintSilent "Earplugs Removed";
        };
    };

0x16 is the letter U,

 

you can find a list of all other available keys at

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/DIK_KeyCodes

 

You can let your players know about this feature in your servers welcome credits or by adding a system chat message in init.sqf

 

Oh well, enjoy.

will this actually make Gunshot sounds more quiet to?

[js2k6]

this just makes everything more quiet at a key press. engine, gunshots, etc
it cuts the overall volume to 25%

 

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/fadeSound

 

for instance 5 fadesound 0; would cut sound to 0 over the course of 5 seconds.

or as i do in the space interrupt file. i cut the sound to 25% in 1 second.

 

i find it to be mostly useful in choppers, its nice not going deaf.

we use something very similar in our weekly co-op tactical missions. decided we needed it in arma 2 dayz epoch aswell

I installed this and when I press U nothing happeneds. What am I doing wrong? I have no RPT errors.

You got this fixed yet ? if not care to post your dayz_spaceInterrupt.sqf ?

I will give it a try thanks bud.

[dandude7]

I am having the same problem, even by copying your dayz_spaceInterrupt.sqf

 

I press U and nothing happens.

[Saltzman]

Dan get into a vehicle and you will notice it.

[Disturbed2015]

Does this auto insert? Cause when I hit U or any key I change it to nothing happens

[NGHD]

No it doesn't, this script works perfectly fine for me and many others, have a play around with the code or where you have placed the code,

its obviously an error on your end

[Disturbed2015]

Figured, thought I'd ask.

[Fusion3Gz]

Can I have two Space Interrupt files? I installed snap building after I added earplugs and not only did the snap pro make the earplugs stop working but it also made my group system not work

[ElDubya]

No, you can't. The second one to be called will override any custom stuff in the first one. Just add the earplug code lines to the Snap Building file? 

[GoldEagle]

I would also recommend: (I don't recommend anymore haha)

if (_dikCode == 0x16) then
    {
///Having it activate if the sound is above .25 not if its 1 because some people might usually play on .5 and want to use earplugs.. :) (hope i didn't misunderstand the function, should be right though
        if (soundVolume > 0.25) then {
            1 fadeSound 0.25;
            hintSilent "Earplugs Inserted";
        }
            else
        {
            1 fadeSound 1;
            hintSilent "Earplugs Removed";
        };
    };

I would also recommend: 

if (_dikCode == 0x16) then...

The fadeSound function doesn't affect the game volume as set by the player in the options menu. Even if your game volume is turned off in the options menu soundVolume could be a greater than zero value.

Longer version:
To calculate the volume of a given sound the engine takes into account; the specified volume of that sound as defined in a config or internally, the distance from the player to that sound source, soundVolume and the volume set by the player in the options menu. Once it has all those it can then calculate the final output volume for a given sound. This explains the reason why soundVolume and the user set volume do not correlate, they are recognised internally to be two separate values not one.
I may be simplifying the process taken to calculate final volumes but nevertheless it allows you to understand better about the fadeSound and soundVolume functions.

Ok, thanks for the answer, you always learn something each day!  :D

[Donnovan]

I love it! My players are asking for Earplugs so i will install this one.

Making it better: i will try to modulate sound and make low frequency sound more strong so it will have the real feeling of having something closing your ears.

[Tang0]

could we possibily have an icon or small pic on screen to let us know earplugs is on?
