Master volume suggestion is still open...

ZDoom once had a separate MIDI volume slider but that became redundant with FModEx and was removed. I can't remember a master volume slider.

That used to be in zdoom, and was eventually removed. I think...

Would a Master Volume be more practical?

You know, if you really want that, you can do it by yourself with some console aliases.

You want to change snd_sfxvolume, snd_menuvolume, and snd_musicvolume.

To lower all three values:

Code: Select all

alias snd_lowerall "eval - $snd_sfxvolume 0.1 snd_sfxvolume; eval - $snd_sfxvolume 0.1 snd_menuvolume; eval - $snd_sfxvolume 0.1 snd_musicvolume"
To raise all three values:

Code: Select all

alias snd_lowerall "eval + $snd_sfxvolume 0.1 snd_sfxvolume; eval + $snd_sfxvolume 0.1 snd_menuvolume; eval + $snd_sfxvolume 0.1 snd_musicvolume"
With some barely more complicated code, you can first store the current values in temporary user CVARs and then do proper toggling.

You can even make yourself a small menu mod like mine where you put the console aliases in a KEYCONF lump and then you can add the raise all and lower all functions as commands in the [wiki]MENUDEF[/wiki] part.

That sounds more practical and infinitely more useful.

How about a "mute" cvar instead? So you could bind it to a key.

Moving 3 sliders all the back to zero to get silence isn't practical.

Aside from being pointless in my opinion, this would require quite a bit of very specific coding in the menu. I might close this right away as I wouldn't expect anyone to invest some time in such a niche feature.

Idea: A link volume toggle for the "sound options" menu?

Which when enabled, would link, or tie, sound, menu and music volumes together.
So if you increase sound volume for 0.1, menu and music volume would be also raised for 0.1.

Or maybe a general volume slider, so you can raise all volume by the same value at once. Thanks!
