Having a bunch of new players brings many things. Questions, friendships, new adventures... but in all of those, it brings lots and lots of text and beep, beEP, bEEP BEP BEP BEP BEPBEPEPs.

Nothing breaks your concentration than a bunch of garbage I'm wasting my time reading. FOR THE LOVE OF DOG!

Please?

Turn your volume down.

Then I cannot hear ammo pickups, weapon pickups, weapons firing, hits, armor pickups, health pickups, powerup pickups, flags taken, flags dropped, flags captured, flags returned or foot steps.

Mh, player mute like in Armagetron Ad., that would indeed be nice

Having a menu with the player names, where you can toggle ignoring... But that needs some more client-server dialogue, doesn't it?

Temporary solution that allows you to punch ignorance in the face.

Create a blank file /sound/misc/talk.wav (to override the beep) and add the following code to your autoexec.cfg

Code: Select all

alias "chatmute_on" "con_chat 0 ; alias chatmute chatmute_off"
alias "chatmute_off" "con_chat 5 ; alias chatmute chatmute_on"
alias "chatmute" "chatmute_off"
bind m "chatmute"

You can now toggle player chat with 'm'

or: bind m "toggle con_chat 0 5"

Thanks for the tip!
