Add config/setting or any other way to reduce Planes sound volume #6440

Open rehv opened 2 years ago

rehv commented 2 years ago

Describe the feature

As Title says, it would be really nice if there was a way to reduce the volume or even mute the sounds of Annihilation/Formation Planes, either a config/setting or other ways, e.g. an added recipe with wool to muffle them.

Reasons why it should be considered

Using these blocks in a large scale increase their volume to the point where it can be very annoying, specially for those like myself with an ear condition. I have a simple cobblestone generator (10 planes) and unless I'm very far from my base I can hear the really loud thumping every second, to the point I had to lower my block volume in minecraft to 5% (and I still hear it).

Additional details

@Technici4n do you have any preferences on the requirements for this enhancement? Just a configuration option? Or some kind of muffle upgrade to the formation/annihilation plane?

Notes:

  1. It looks like item formation.annihilation is already silent, the sound only happens when the formation plane is in "block placement" mode.
  2. Do any other items in AE2 make noise? Should these also be configurable? Should there be a global "ae2 machine sounds level"?

Upgrade Option

  1. Determine method for muting/limiting range of formation/annihilation sounds.
  2. Create muffle upgrade to implement mute functionality
  3. Add upgrade interface to annihilation plane
  4. Documentation would also need to be updated everywhere.

Config Option

  1. Update config to accept new plane sound range option
  2. Determine method for muting/limiting range of formation/annihilation sounds.

Would you like me to pursue implementing this feature and if so what is the preferred option?

Thanks for having a look. I was thinking that a float config option between 0 and 1 to set the volume of the planes would be enough.

Definitely no muffler upgrade: I don't like that mechanic in other mods, and we'd have to add a GUI just for that.
