Add "Mute command information" setting to Esc menu

[kgersen]

A new Esc menu entry should be added near "Mute Lobby" that would mute the "Player found aleph from Tjeerd to Fierro" messages.

Once added, players can default to attack wing when joining, and are put on command wing when becoming commander. When they drop, they go back to attack.

When becoming commander, if the user chooses to mute drone messages, the setting will be temporarily changed to allow the messages to come through. Losing command will restore the setting to its default value. If the user chose to hear chats and becomes comm, he retains it and still hears them after losing command again. No changes.

'''Grap Dragon''' If you're talking about seperating red notifications from the command wing, maybe. At the very least though, I think this needs to be downgraded from major bug to minor, or enhancement.

'''TigerEYE''' I have it listed as "major" since currently there are two separate 'fixes' for this that remove a feature when combined.

It is important to resolve that conflict before R2 is released.

'''Gap Dragon''' How about instead of tying drone messages to the command wing, there's an esc option to "Receive Drone Commands" and another for "Receive map update notifications." And whenever a player commands, it preempts the default value for drone commands and sets it to on.

This would also allow players to actually the use wing system for seperate wings like miner D and con D.

Or is removing that tie to the command wing already added for the next release.

Tiger'''Eye''' :)

That's exactly what this bug proposes. Separating the drone chat from the wings, leaving the wings to work independantly from drone chat.

'''Imago''' I'm pretty sure this is fixed, TE added drone chat to Bravo wing and 2 others, you won't get the critical messages unless you are on command. Close this entry please.

'''Tiger''''''''Eye''''' Was this menu item added? My patch to give bravo+other wings drone messages is separate from this feature.

This feature request is asking for a "mute drone messages" menu that works independantly from the command wing, separating the notifications from the wings. this would make my patch redundant since people could choose any wing and control the drone messages independantly.

Not fixed.
