server sounds

[porc-épic]

I just thought of something that I realy hate about online games; those stupid server sounds that take hours to download and are realy realy anoying.
Just imagine playing on pegasus bridge then that stupid "mmmmm multikill" plays every 5 minutes. I know there's a console command to stop sounds downloading but can you put this in the mod as the default?

Theres probably no way we could 100% enforce it but i'd like to have the default cl_allowdownload set to "nosounds" to at least let the uninformed never experience this.

cl_downloadfilter "nosounds" ;)

That's a server side plugin, and using the above cvar will stop all that crap being downloaded...

[porc-épic]

Yeah I know what it is but I think it should be put in the game so people who don't know how to stop them, dont have to download them.

[Ginger Lord]

I'll definatly try and get it stopped by default, don't like forcing stuff upon people though.

If we make everything but map downloads turned off by default when you download should help.

[porc-épic]

It's not realy forcing it upon people, I don't think anyone likes those sounds :)

[Ginger Lord]

Most people thought that no one would like those orange maps for DoD:S but they've becoming annoyingly popular. :icon_lmao:

I would french kiss the coder that would stop those sound downloads! :D

And if he could code in a blocking for orange maps, I would marry him... lucky guy ;)

I suspect that cvar is in the engine and not in the mod codebase but if I can find it I'll turn it off by default. I'll try and make sure it's set in the default config.txt too.

You wanna french kiss...huh? :D
