Earplugs for vehicles...

[Angrygargamel]

Hi&Hello...

i tried to implement this little but functional earplug script on my epoch server...

i have tried 3 different variants now... but the mousewheel actions never show up

 

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=26624

 

any suggestions?

 

 

who doesnt know what this script does...

when you fly in a heli you cant understand anything of the VON or teamspeak unless you turn the ingame volume down

this script does this for you instant... put the earplugs in... sound is lowered to x percent

take the earplugs out... sound is back to normal

Thanks for all the positive feedback! EgoBoooooost enabled!   :D

Then you will like this: Just joined a random server (German, in German language) apparently they have your script running with some German customizations. At this rate soon you'll be famous man! ;)

Okie Dokie. Here is a link to my latest version of the earplugs script. WIth instructions, and BE filters.  :D

 

https://github.com/computermancer/cmEarplugs

 

Updated this baby with some sweet sweet new techniques. Only things missing is an auto-remove triggered by distance to nearest vehicle.

 

 

 

Still wont work for helicopters.

Yup, would be good if computermancer adds every single vehicle to the script's internal database.

Until then, it is possible to add any vehicle you like to the array (temp. workaround...).

[computermancer]

Are the helicopters in your server from the default Epoch list or did you add your own? If you added your own, you have to add them to the aloowedArray. But it should just pop up if you get in the chopper. Hmmm.... is anyone else having this issue? 

 

I will setup a vanilla test server and spawn in a heli to test...

[cheech420now]

i tried with all the choppers. Epoch and non Epoch

[computermancer]

Okay you guys, I have made the grand daddy of all my earplugs scripts. :D

 

It has toggles for auto remove and auto insert of earplugs. By default it will auto-insert earplugs, and auto-remove them when getting in/out of vehicles. :wub:

 

It no longer depends on an array, so it's IMPOSSIBLE to not have them once you have entered a vehicle once. :ph34r:

Cool, I will try soonest!

 

I came here now from Altis to post a suggestion for the next version:

if there are multiple vehicles parked next to each other 'earplugs' menu appear more than once - perhaps add a constraint so that it never shows up more than once in the mouse wheel menu?

In the new version. I am REALLY bad at documentation... sorry. :P

[prue420]

Could you make a simple earplug script where the option to put them in is up all the time instead of just around vehicles?

Yes, but that will trigger the Epoch AntiHack.

 

Until they allow us to exempt "addaction" from triggering the filter, we have to use this work around.

 

If you addaction to a player, it will do an autoban, no way to stop that yet. (without disabling the Epoch AntiHack)

 

This script I wrote is as simple as I can make it without using the "player addaction" command.

 

Theoretically, you can add the action to EVERYTHING on the server, but not sure how annoying that would be.  :P

 

My next attempt is to use the nearestObject command to trigger the action, but I am still a novice.

[computermancer]

This is what using "PLAYER ADDACTION" can let you do!

Cool, thanks.

BTW this thread started as a request by another person and progressed to becoming your release thread.

It might be a good idea for you to start your own thread now to share your work so that you can control the 1st post and the thread title, plus it'd be easier to find for others.

[computermancer]

Roger that, took almost 3 weeks to get my SUPERFUNMENU thread up. SO, I will put in request tomorrow. XD

I've upgraded to the latest version, working great! thanks for adding all these features!

[computermancer]

I applied for a thread in the scripts section for my earplugs script, and I was approved super fast.

 

Here is a link to it, I will add videos and other details later to make it look nice.

BI just needs to do something imo. I think it would be practical enough. I could understand it being a problem with land vehicles since you could easily hear ground troops locations, but you're not going to hear anything in a helicopter anyways.

Like I said, future would have sound dampening technology, just sayin.

I'll see if anyone else has been pushing it on BI when I get home I guess.

[blueman]

Has anyone used this on the ARMA 3 Epoch .3.0.1 update yet?

[DirtySanchez]

0.3.0.1 does nothing to break any of CMs add actions, nor any others we have running.

[1Man]

Earplugs do work its other scripts I'm having issues with lol fml

[DirtySanchez]

1Man, it's the fucking weather. Go back to default brotha

[Sneakydude]

quick addition, can we add to the plug script listed, a key to turn it on and off being around a vehile on the ground?

 

I didn't see any in the script. Or maybe a action menu

The basic script for earplugs i'm using doesn't require an "addaction", if you want to give a try:

 

You only need earplugs.sqf (root of your mpmission folder):

if(isNil "EarPlugsOn") then {EarPlugsOn = true;} else {EarPlugsOn = !EarPlugsOn};
ToggleEarPlugs =
{
	if (soundVolume != 1) then
	{
		1 fadeSound 1;
		cutText ['Ear plugs taken off', 'PLAIN'];
	} else {
		1 fadeSound 0.2;
		cutText ['Ear plugs put on', 'PLAIN'];
	};
};
if(EarPlugsOn) then 
{ 
	Press_F3 = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown","if ((_this select 1) == 61) then {call ToggleEarPlugs;};"];
};
if(!EarPlugsOn) then 
{
	(findDisplay 46) displayRemoveEventHandler ["KeyDown", Press_F3];
};

and initplayerlocal.sqf, in your mpsission root aswell:

while {true} do
{
	waitUntil {alive vehicle player};
	Sleep 10;
	[] execVM "earplugs.sqf";
	waitUntil {!alive player};
	[] execVM "earplugs.sqf";
};

then don't forget to add filters to scripts.txt in your battleye folder:

 

(add this at the end of line 53: displayAddEventHandler)

!"Press_F3 = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler [\"KeyDown\",\"if ((_this select 1) == 61) then {call T"

(add this at the end of line 59: displayRemoveEventHandler)

!"(findDisplay 46) displayRemoveEventHandler [\"KeyDown\", Press_F3];"

Works great Scoo.. And I don't have to disable the Default AH. Thank you very much.

Hello Caveman1,  I just implemented the same thing and believe there is something blocking my use of the F3 key.  I have confirmed the script loads and I can call "ToggleEarPlugs" manually from the debug console. 

I tried mapping F3 to switch to handgun, and it does not work for that either.   Did you encounter the same issue and just remap to a different key or is yours working as intended on F3?

 

I am using the EpochAH, no other addons or mods.

 

Thanks,
