[0.15] Programmable Speaker - Disable Global Playback

Post by Mattyrogue »

At the moment, the biggest problem in any multiplayer game we've found so far in the newest version has been the Programmable Speaker, whose "Global Playback" Feature is an easy avenue for untrusted clients to use and abuse, filling the audio channels with pure, unmoderated noise.

A simple fix to this, would simply be locking the Global Playback tick box to the 'Admin' group, and also lowering the volume of any placed, Programmable Speakers to 50% on default (possibly even locking it to 50% for non-Admin players).

Of course, this wouldn't matter nor apply in Singleplayer.

There's already a command you can use to disable global playback.

Can we add this as a configuration option? Also a limit on the volume as admins would be nice
