QoL suggestion: Settings to disable Spacebar music and other sounds

[KevinTMC]

Since new content is now on the way for the game, thought I'd leave a post here to ask for my most-desired quality-of-life improvement: the ability to turn off certain sounds, most especially the music from the regular and small Spacebar. After dozens of hours of gameplay, it's making me a little crazy.

(There's a ChoGGi mod called Disable Annoying Sounds, but it hasn't been working for me for some reason.)

Looking forward to seeing what comes next for this game.

Does it sound like people talking at a busy bar?
It is enabled in the mod manager and you enabled the spacebar option in the mod options?

First, thank you for all the great mods (I'm now running several dozen I believe, nearly all simple UI tweaks), and for your responsiveness to the community.

Mostly I use the Small Spacebar, and when they're open they play a little snippet of vaguely-surf-guitarish music.

Over and over and over and over.

I had your mod installed on my current playthrough and it somehow worked for a while...then it stopped. I went back and opened a save from a couple sols previous...music was gone. Moved forward in time...it came back when the Spacebar opened for the morning a sol or two later. Same result whether I left the settings alone or tried to re-set them.

I know you're busy coping with the new update--a new mod to fix the suicide bug already?! outstanding--so testing out this particular one may not be top priority. My ears would be grateful if it could be checked out at some point though.

Oh god, I figured out the problem. It'll work now.

Yes! Please give us a built-in option to silence individual buildings and types of buildings. I've started avoiding building spacebars because the constant music is like nails on a chalkboard. I'm also getting sick of the nursery noise. I'll try mods for now, but I'd much rather have this be an innate feature of the game.

Thanks, Keep up the great work!

After the mod updated, I loaded my game, and...yay! no Small Spacebar music!

Played a couple Sols...saved and exited...fired up the game this evening, loaded the same save, and...it's baaaaack.

But whoops! It would appear that was just me being an idiot this time. I switched the settings to Off when I wanted the sounds off...ha! that's not how the controls were set up, is it!

Switched it to On for Spacebar Music and that's gone again now. Whew.

P.S. But...having less luck with squelching the beeping from the RC Commanders. Two types of noises actually. Would that be because, in my current game, I've got Europe's RC Seekers instead, and they're producing both the drone-command and sensor noises, both of which are evading the mod?

Or is this another PBUE* situation?

No, I gotta add seeker (as well as some other stuff).

 

[KevinTMC]

Well, I don't know that you've gotta ...but I'd be grateful if you got round to it.

 

[ChoGGi_2]

gotta in the sense that I've got a list
