i thought it was a bug when we were suddenly losing sound. Then i finally notice the deafness moodle on the side

just a suggestion you should add muffled ringing noise or tinnitus everytime we get deaf.

ok cool

@Enemal, @tf2 pomson enjoyer #FREESCHLEP, @an ordinary human: Hi all. I have pushed an update to the mod so you can disable the ear damage portion if you experience Spamming Deafness. If you do experience Spamming Deafness you can In Game Esc and choose: Options | Mods | Rick's MLC Concussion -> Enable Ear Damage and disable the checkbox. This will turn off all hearing damage for now. Please let me know if you have any issues with it. Oh, and if you do experience the issue, please let me know if the comments the X and Y coords of the building so I can try to replicate the issue. I have not encountered it yet.

Yep, me too on the hearing loss. It always happens when inside. The clue to solving this must be there. Perhaps in the muffling of sound? This is an old issue.

IDK I was high up in the winter with some relatively small mods (more traits, killcount, cryogenic winter) so idfk

@an ordinary human @tf2 pomson enjoyer #FIXVACPLS Odd... I have not experienced it in my playthroughs. The mod triggers on sound in the game, so there may be a dodgy sound coming from another mod, or the vanilla game has some odd sound values set (ambient sounds?)... somewhere. They may even be set as loud sounds, but not actual audio associated. An example of this is "Scent of Blood" mod which uses the hearing mechanic to attract zombies by emitting a "silent sound" which zombies can hear, but no audio so the player doesn't hear it. I will have to add some feature to turn on a diagnostic to work out where the sound is coming from. In the meantime, as a workaround the player can wear Hearing Protectors to prevent the hearing loss, but this does apply the Hard of Hearing when wearing them.

+1, constant hearing loss randomly

this mod seems broken - it is CONSTANTLY triggering hearing loss for no reason, despite no injury or anything, even when just standing in the starting house after spawning into the game :/

@Tnaz.v Soporte para usar protectoras auditivas con los mods "AuthenticZ" y "MufflesEarsSlot".

Support for wearing ear protectors with the "AuthenticZ" and "MufflesEarsSlot" mods.

para que es esto ???

RicksMLC_Concussion_3rdParty

@Mr.Dorito yes

is it safe to add to an existing save?

@RicksMLC thanks

@Jeilko I hope to push it out today.

please b42

I'm not entirely sure what you need specifically. It could take some time, but I believe the names can be found in Brita's Armor Pack at "108600\2460154811\mods\Brita's Armor Pack\media\clothing\clothingItems" and KATTAJ1 Military Pack at "108600\3079948242\mods\KATTAJ1 Military Pack\media\clothing\clothingItems". They seem to contain the .xml files for the custom ear protectors, and it seems Brita's Armor Pack lists all the headsets in one of the addons images. KATTAJ1 only adds a single headset I believe.

@RicksMLC Yea, in multiplayer, you cant see each other fall. Also good point with the falling thing, ig it does make sense. just kinda bothers me but its fine if you cant do anything about it.

@ELTR101 Wouldn't that "remove a nasty consequence' which goes against the PZ ethos? :) The getting scratches is default behaviour (I didn't code anything special for it) so presumably the clothes scratch protection + thick skinned would reduce the chances of getting scratched? Also... I was unaware you can't see each other fall. I assume you are referring to multiplayer and when you fall down, other players don't see it?

@Janek - I am looking into it. Any chance you have the names of the ear protector items? :) IRL is a bit busy these days, but I hope to get into it soon.

Should be able to turn off getting scratches every time you fall when drunk, super annoying. (still funny though.) would also be nice if we could see each other fall.

Any chance ear protectors from other mods such as brita's armor pack and kattaj1 military pack could be supported? ^^ There are some active earpros, which could negate the deafness effect, while not compromising the hearing as much as the normal ear protectors do.

@Weshc It sounds like you have the Scent of Blood mod or some other mod which which uses sound to attract zombies to your location. Something you can try is adjusting the ear damage threshold in the sandbox settings, but it probably wont work out well as the "sound" other mods generate is so loud. If the threshold can't be set to make it work you can turn off the deafness by disabling the ear damage in the sandbox settings.

Character keeps randomly going deaf on and on keeps repeating very annoying

@DukeNukem64x You are correct - This mod does not touch the Queasy/Nauseous/Sick/Fever moodles

Amazing mod. Only question I would have, is anything relating to alcohol touch the Queasy/Nauseous/Sick/Fever moodles? It doesn't look like it from the description.

FFucking amazing!!! Wow, I love this mod

@aamm07 yes it works in a a saved game. The Sandbox values will be the default values.

does it work in a saved game (an already started save)

@tonyzur I have pushed the change for MufflesEarsSlot compatibility, as requested. Cheers.

ta

@tonyzur do you have the link for the mufflers to ears mod so I can check it? Ta.

@tonyzur Thank you for your kind words.I'm glad you like it.

@tonyzur The sound thresholds are... complicated to get right for what you are asking. The sound calculation for indoors uses the floor area to calculate the gain, so the sound is amplified or reduced depending on the room size, so there is no single number for indoors. You could try to set the Deaf Trigger Volume to maybe 2500 and see if that suits... it might take some fiddling to find the sweet spot for what you want. I'm sorry I can't give a better answer.

Thanks @Tchernobill for giving me the heads-up. Modifying now.

MoodleFramework (v1.10) can now be split screen compatible.
Use MF.getMoodle(*,playerNum) instead of MF.getMoodle(*)

@tonyzur - Ok I had a look at the muffles to ears description, and at a guess it is not compatible, as my concussion mod checks the "Hat" location and AuthenticZ's "HeadExtra". I suspect it would be a small change to make in compatible if it is needed.

@tonyzur 1: It applies to any sound in the game which goes above the thresholds, which are configurable in the sandbox options. Unfortunately this can also occur with other mods which use the sound system to attract zombies (like Scent of Blood) which leads to the unintended and somewhat hilarious situation where the player can be made deaf by changing a bandage.

2) I am not familiar with the "muffles to ears slot mod" so I can't say that is is or isn't. When wearing ear protectors the player is given the "hard of hearing" trait if the player does not already have it, and when the ear protectors are removed, the "hard of hearing" trait is removed, so long as it was added by this mod and not an already existing trait (ie: no magic cures for hard of hearing)

also, is this compatible with the muffles to ears slot mod?

@Aang741 I have posted an update to the Drunk handler to handle the strange case of the Item not being populated when eating something. I have not reproduced the error, but given the nature of the reported error message, this change will at least avoid it... please let me know if it is still an issue.

@RicksMLC Would that override work if I did something like:

if getPlayer():HasTrait("HardOfHearing") then return end

getPlayer():getTraits():add("HardOfHearing")

getPlayer():playSound("Tinnitus")

(I've also replaced the RicksMLC_EarDamage:RestoreTraits with remove hard of hearing)

@RicksMLC I do know this...but I'm also that type of "modder" *sweating profusely* since I know next to nothing about lua outside of copy-paste, deleting lines and changing something here or there. I'll try to apply your override before uploading though.

@Reits - no worries mate. If you want to publish a mod which does the override that's fine (I can't stop you really, but it is kind for you to ask and I'm ok with it :) The only thing I watch out for when modifying vanilla or other modders mods is to use the override, and not copy the whole mod or whole .lua file. I have seen quite a few mods where whole .lua files are copied and only one thing is tweaked, but that means any newer changes would be "masked" by the mod. You probably already know this, so I am just adding this note for others who may stumble onto this conversation and might pick up something about modding.

@RicksMLC I don't mind. I do know how to add the sound, but I wanted to try muffling the sound at the same time. So far, I've been able to get a decent result with a hard of hearing + tinnitus wav combo, but I don't really know how to dampen the sound further. Although it isn't too big of a deal. I also have a bit of tinnitus, nothing major, but it sucks when you start focusing on it. Would it be okay for me to just post the tinnitus version up for people who want it? It's fine if not, no pressure.

@Reits - sorry I think I mistyped your name in my last comment. Sorry.

@Relts - I have had tinnitus requested quite a few times. As a suffer of tinnitus myself, I don't really wish to inflict it on other people. If you want to add tinnitus you would write a mod which overrides the function RicksMLC_EarDamage.ApplyDeafTraits() to add the sound with something like:

require "RicksMLC_EarDamage"
local overrideRMLCApplyDeaf = RicksMLC_EarDamage.ApplyDeafTraits
function RicksMLC_EarDamage.ApplyDeafTraits(self)
overrideRMLCApplyDeaf(self)
getPlayer():playSound("tinnitus") -- you need to supply the sound file media\sound\tinnitus.ogg
end

If you want some help with modding, I sometimes stream modding on twitch.tv/RicksMLC and can provide some help if you need it or have questions. There is chance I may know something :)

I apologise for not seeing these issues before today as IRL gets hectic, especially at this time of year. @Aang741 I have a possible fix for your issue which I can push, but I have not reproduced the problem myself. Do you have any mods which change the way food/drink are handled so I can try to reproduce it?

Hey there, I've tinkered with your mod a little for personal use, and was wondering if you'd consider applying the hard of hearing trait + a loud tinnitus sound instead of the current deaf trait (just need to add getPlayer():playSound("~") under the RicksMLC_EarDamage:ApplyDeafTraits() function). I don't know all that much about lua, but there's also a mod "hats muffle sounds" with a system that could probably be used to muffle the sounds a lot more when shooting without earpro on top of tinnitus (I've tried and failed to implement the lua from that mod, but you might be able to).

Hi @RicksMLC im getting a lot of errors with your mod when i drink or eat something idk whats wrong, could yo pls check it? thx

https://pastebin.com/9AZudd74

@UdderlyEvelyn No worries. I have not been able to reproduce the error yet, so It might be best if I remove the God mode check that I put into the RicksMLC_Drunk.lua on the last update to avoid the issue.

I'm sorry I didn't follow up on the previous issue, I'm insanely busy as well both for PZ stuff and IRL..
