functions to set/disable sounds made on new chat message

(afaik currently only the game can set the chat sounds in it's modfile which is quite retarded to say the least.)

Yes it would be cool if chat messages would be different from other messages. Maybe even diff sounds for ally chat and points too.

You can set the volume of the user interface (incoming chat, mapmarks) separately by issuing "/set snd_volui X", where X is a value between 0 and 100. X=100 will play those sounds at your master volume, 50 at half the volume, 0 will disable it.

If you want different sounds for certain events, go convince the mod maintainer.

Won't that disable widget sounds too?

That is precisely the reason why I want the function. A new game release for a trinket sound is ridiculous.

No, widget sounds use a different channel (snd_volgeneral iirc).

It might be possible with soem lua ( never tested it in this way), but sending your new sound to the modmaker is definitely the best solution.

Then what I want can be already done by setting the volume to 0 and playing sounds using Lua.
