[IMPLEMENTED]-[Sound] Global Silence

Aravis · 02-07-2010, 02:12 PM

As the ultimate of Silencer is supposed to silence everything, i suggest that all sounds (attack sounds, hero sounds, item sounds...) should me muted during Silencers ultimate.
Sounds outside of the map (hero killing sounds) should not be affected.

Edit:
dejaime made a testmap (NEW: version 1.2) for this suggestion:

Well, in Dota silence means only that the skills cant be used, so t-null for now.

CrucialMistake · 02-07-2010, 02:18 PM

What would rather be better is turning off all the 'talking' audio files of heroes when they are silenced. That is, if it can be coded without too much trouble.

Quiesce · 02-07-2010, 02:22 PM

Sound's really cool lol. I'd love to NOT hear the sound of pulsing firewaves, echo slams, and haunts.

T-up

Nerevarie · 02-07-2010, 02:25 PM

that would be awesome just a "visual" change. T-UP

Zangetsu2201 · 02-07-2010, 03:16 PM

Great idea. Even if, in w3, silence means just to stop opponents from casting spell this would be a great and unique effect, that won't affect gameplay at all, so big T-up!

Op is a genius, this would make Global Silence awesome.

sandwichmelek · 02-07-2010, 07:47 PM

Global Stfu sound would be nice..,

Black.Lotus · 02-07-2010, 08:01 PM

Would be epic^^ but I don't know if it is really a good idea...

Thor_21 · 02-08-2010, 10:23 AM

Thumbs Up, that is if it's codeable

I'd totally play silencer just to see(or rather, hear) the visual(or rather audio, wait or is it no audio?) effect

ResQ · 02-08-2010, 10:35 AM

Not quite sure. If it can be made fast and without any bugs this would be cool, but it would be a waste of time if it doesn't.

dominator02 · 02-08-2010, 10:48 AM

I don't know if the kill sound shouldn't be silenced.I

this.

gnaLor · 02-08-2010, 04:11 PM

Nice idea!
Who cares about that it isnt entirely logical.
Its really cool, its codable and it should get implemented

As far as my coding experience goes, you can't do that.

On Topic:
Brilliant idea. Will have a more epic feeling to Global Silence.

But allies can. Anyway, Menu -> Options -> Sound -> Sound Effects -> Uncheck box (that's my default setting (: )

If I were you, I would stop saying things are uncodeable... Some knowledge upon w3 coding is required to say that...

Sounds are perfectly blockable with a simple single boolean variable you can test before playing any sound. The trigger should be enabled as soon as anyone picks up silencer.

The test should be like this:

Code:

if SILENCE == false{
    Play Sound.
}

This way, global sounds would be canceled.

I used the classical way with the music, with speech and other, it's possible to do any kind of sound removing.

@edit
I've made a test map to show that it's possible.

Wow, didn't know that counts player-specific sounds.
But then, even streak sounds will be silenced which we don't want.
However we can always add a if((sound!=killingspree)&&(sound!=...)) and then play the sound.

Effing awesome map! Very good, I didn't know you can even choose what sounds to silence. But I've seen there is still a "whoot" sound which can't(?) be muted. What's with it? Anyway, very good job for the rest.

T-up

Pulsing firewaves, echo slams and haunts can't be casted when you are silenced.
Anyway, I support this as I did before.
