Any way to turn off sound?

[CarlosTheTackle]

Is there any way (or will there be) to toggle the sound on/off during play?


Great module, BTW, Dan.

Cheers,

Carl.

Wow... that's kinda of a wacky request, Carl.
Of course you can always disable Dan's Plug-in at the start, but Volume knobs work pretty well,
too.  Almost seems like a Joke for someone to want to acutally turn the sound Off.  Why would a
software 'toggle' be useful ?

[CarlosTheTackle]

Heh, I knew someone would ask.

I often like to play music from my computer while I 'orbit'. Then when I go down for dinner (or to
hang in the lounge, whatever) I want to keep listening to the music  (which I have piped
throughout the house)  and leave my ship happily orbiting away. Needless to say, it would be good
to do this without having "Well somebody finally gave me a window to look at' popping up in the
middle of songs while I'm sitting in the lounge.

Of course,  I could just restart Orbiter with the sound module disabled, but as it takes over 2 mins
to load on my system, I was hoping for a quick-toggle.

Then again, if Dan manages to get the sound module to react appropriately to internal/external
POV, then my problem is solved. Just stick it in external view and drift silently thru the void.

One day, I'm sure.

It's your day of luck

bring the radio mfd pressing  key SHF R
there is a mute fonction here that should mute all the sound.
(I didn't use it since age I hope it still work for all the sound)

About internal/external POV I have requested many time to martin
a value that show if we are outside or inside the vessel but for now
this is still not implemented in the SDK so I have no way to know
which POV is currently in use.

Sweet as, I'll try that one tomorrow (it's 1:30 am now, so I'm off to bed).


Thanks Dan,



Later,

Cool. Works a treat.  

Thanks Dan.
