Musical Silencer 1.1

[Pixel Eater]

New version with volume controls by m8f

Musical Silencer 1.1.pk3

Lets you mute the music without losing your preferred volume. Handy if you want to keep listening to background music uninterrupted.
It can be toggled by key press during the game and there's a custom menu which can be used during the title screen.

The default keys are now based on the numpad and are -/+ and * for mute.

Small but nice mod.
I sometimes feel like "wow, this level's song is so annoying and repetitive..." when I'm playing Doom, but with your mod I can easily mute it.

I'm weirdly fine with repetitive music, I just can't handle when it clashes with what I'm already listening to. Sometimes it's a song that's inspired me to play Doom in the first place (Zep's Black Mountain Side makes me need some KDITD) and I just wanted to play along to it.

Btw I immediately kicked myself for not naming this 'Mute-till-later'. Oh well

I propose adding the following to the keyconf:

Code: Select all

alias readmusic           "snd_musicvolume $mute_muslevel"
alias restoremusic_silent "test $mute_music readmusic; mute_music false"

alias echomusicvolume     "eval * 100 $snd_musicvolume readable_muslevel; echo Music Volume: $readable_muslevel"

alias increasemusicvolume "restoremusic_silent; eval + $snd_musicvolume 0.05 snd_musicVolume; echomusicvolume"
alias decreasemusicvolume "restoremusic_silent; eval - $snd_musicvolume 0.05 snd_musicVolume; echomusicvolume"

AddKeySection "Musical Silencer" "MusicalSilencerKeys"

AddMenuKey "Toggle Music"          "mutemusic"
AddMenuKey "Increase Music Volume" "increasemusicvolume"
AddMenuKey "Decrease Music Volume" "decreasemusicvolume" 

and a CVar for this to work:

Code: Select all

user int readable_muslevel;

So there are keys to increase/decrease the music volume. Changing music volume via these keys unmutes the music automatically.

Also, it's recommended not to leave controls in menudef without their keyconf AddMenuKey counterpart.

That's really cool m8f- I've added that straight in

I tacked on a thing to keep it muted when the user is dropping the volume too, just in case they were muting due to super loud speakers. That way they can get to safety first before unmuting.

Really useful mod! Went straight into my global autoloads.
I'm gaming with a controller, so I just assigned the start button to toggle music on/off.
Many thanks!
