sound for events!
 

When we are doing something else, and when if we are connected on graal, one can not know if he has an event on graal, what I demand it is of added a special sound when he has an event.

Good idea. I support.

Could also do it like Era, the NPC Server sends you a pm each time a ET calls a event, so you can see the graal icon flash and you check whats the event =P

Nice Idea, and I dont think its hard to script.

is correct.
its like adding play("soundfile/url"); to the function that displays the window.

Connect to graal..? Or zone. If graal, I doubt everyone that plays wants to know zone is having event.

For zone. 1 Sound? Like a bell ringing once? What's the good in that if i'm away for a bit while I log on. I know people that play with no noise as well.

Don't they have that blue box gui thingy in the bottom left corner that should tell you? Or if use your head and look at the amount of people on a planet, since most people follow events.
I hate closing them PMs when I get them, it's annoying.

He means that when you arent watching the client.

for example:

You're doing your homework on a Word document and suddenly a futuristic ringing noice is heard, you know know that there's a event active on Zone, so you minimize your homework, maximize Zone and play it =D

errr...i beleive theres a big window that appears on your screen indicating that an event is taking place an warps you too it...thats notification enough.

If your not paying attention to zone then you shouldn't be able to go in the event.

Who actually plays zone with sound? I hate the annoying shooting sounds and doors opening and warping.
I think the announcement of an event is enough, as well as the setting of a warp.

I do, since it's hard to play a shooting game(server in this case) without hearing if someone is shooting @ you.

Realy, this isn't that important to be scripted right now. It'd be something to add on later when zone has a steady playercount. For the scripting done, how many players would actually use this and be happy that it was added compared to how many would not even bother to use it/not appreciate it being added.
Same. But I know alot of people that play/played that are the exact opposite and hate the noises.

In this you can see if someones shooting at you, unless of course its a sniper, I only use sound in 3d FPS where you only have one field of vision.

Dont put that new sound on the SFX thing at f3..
I always put that off because all the shooting sounds make me onconcetraded at my Homework..

This would be a really cool feature, but only if you are on that server.
I doubt someone playing Unholy Nation would like to know that there's an event on Zone, and vice-versa. (This way would have to be scripted into the client, and not in an NPC script.)
But if you wanted this added for if you're playing on a server and want to know if that server is having an event, then yes, this could EASILY be scripted.

that's the only way to play sounds?

To bad :(, then its worthless for me.

not really, u could just go to a empty planet while doing homework.
(not on the dropship)

Ohya :blush:

Known as idling, unfortunately that's now unacceptable, since its obtaining bounty unfairly, as for the idea I still think it would be stupid. The sound would be dumb but a Mass pm would be nice.

For those who do not want the sound for events, the administrator can added a compartment as in the image?

When i first played zone, i didn't have boxes or sound for about 6 months. Then, when i got boxes, it was amazing, i wanted my friends to use all possible weapons so i'd know how they sounded,

no they cant, that's a client setting, not a server setting.
it's up to you to reduce your volume so you can hear the sound but not the other sounds.

For what you propose nourdine, that would require a global setting change, as well as a rescripting of the SFX, mp3 or etc portion of the setting or changing the 'Event Sound' to a different type of sound beside SFX, mp3 and what ever else is stated in the sound system, otherwise you would be required to have them both on :)
