Turn off Demo sounds when viewing Map generator with Preview

Post by Haighstrom »

If you open the Preview in the map generator, setting up the map becomes full screen, but the little demos on the start screen are still playing in the background, and you hear all the sounds from it. I find this annoying when I'm trying to concentrate on setting myself up a map.

I'd suggest to mute sounds from those demos when the map preview is open.

It's not full-screen. It's just a very big window.

I'm fine for the requirement to be "when a window is open, mute the start screen".

Alternatively, provide a sound option to always mute the start screen.

Main menu scenes are called simulations. Simulation sounds are controlled by the last slider in the sound settings.

That would be "always" then.

Because the main menu is just another window.

In 2.0, the main menu simulations are muted when previewing the map.
As was said, you can use the "Simulations" volume slider to adjust/mute them.

Great, thanks @Donion, and thanks for those that clarified I can mute now with the simulation slider. I have done so :-)

Background sounds are distracting when creating a game

Post by SANTIMEL »

Goal
Let the player focus
Situation
When you start the game, you will notice an animated background. Where the game's capabilities are shown.
However, when creating a new game, the player will have to configure many parameters.
It’s just the sounds of gunfire in the animated background that prevent the player from concentrating.

This is especially true for people whose volume control is not located on the front panel of the speakers. And on the back, or on the subwoofer.

You can also remember that most people don't know. That using the FN key, you can adjust the volume level.
Decision
In the game creation menu ↴

1. Reduce the volume of the animated background
2. Completely turn off the sound of the animated background
3. Reduce high frequencies of sound. So that the sound is not so distracting.
