A.Cyprus 16 Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Cyprus Push-to-Hear v1.6.0 LAST UPDATE: v1.6: 09 APRIL 2015 Now with: support for ACE3 and Zeus curator Interface About: Have you ever found yourself in a chopper, jet or armoured vehicle, struggling to hear your teammates chatter because the engine's too loud? How about a crazy firefight where battle sounds are drowning out the comms? Cyprus Push-to-Hear allows you to temporarily reduce in-game sound and music volume by holding down a preset key or mouse button. A toggle setting is also available, and a UI icon is displayed on the in-game HUD whenever Push-to-Hear is in effect. Join me on a Push-to-Hear enabled server at the Expeditionary BattleGroup! - Server: 108.61.98.84:2302 - Website - Teamspeak More info: The HUD icon is positioned so as not to interfere with VTS Weapon Resting (which I use(d) religiously), and has been tested in various interface sizes. Push-to-Hear key bindings may be changed in-game via: CONFIGURE > CONTROLS > CONFIGURE ADDONS. Mouse button configuration may be changed in the supplied userconfig file. You may also independently configure the following settings via the userconfig file: - the volume that SOUNDS will be suppressed to while Push-to-Hear is active - the volume that MUSIC will be suppressed to while Push-to-Hear is active - how long it takes for the volume changes and GUI icon to fade in - how long it takes for the volume changes and GUI icon to fade out In future, I will make this adjustable via an in-game interface, along with a host of new features. Personal spiel: This is my first attempt at creating an addon for Arma 3. I chose it as a very simple introductory project to Arma 3 scripting, yet functional for me personally. Please do post constructive feedback, helpful advice, bug reports or sensible feature requests below. It would be great to hear from those of you who add Cyprus Push-to-Hear to your server, mission, mod collection or repository, or simply enjoy using it. Drop me a PM or post below. Thanks! :) A.Cyprus Downloads: - Dropbox, v1.6.0 UPDATED - Armaholic, v1.6.0 - Play withSix, v1.6.0 - Arma3.de, v1.6.0 Requirements: - CBA for Arma 3, at least RC6, or later - A frustratingly noisy in-game environment - Fingers Simple instructions: - Install the addon to your Arma 3 directory, or regular addon folder path - Drop the userconfig folder inside your Arma 3\userconfig directory - Customise settings in cyp_pushtohear_a3_config.hpp if needed - Launch Arma 3 with parameter -mod=@CBA_A3;@cyp_pushtohear_a3 - Set your Push-to-Hear key bindings in-game via: CONFIGURE > CONTROLS > CONFIGURE ADDONS Server admins: Cyprus Push-to-Hear is signed. In fact, it is signed twice, and I have included two sets of keys. I'm going for both granularity AND simplicity. - cyprus.bikey : this corresponds to my personal non-specific key - cyprus-pushtohear.bikey : this corresponds to my personal key unique for this particular addon only In this way you may either allow all my addons or cherry pick only those you want by adding the appropriate keys to your server. Thanks to: - [Mox] Lanski-TPF-, for the graphics, patience and of course Maya - Taosenai and the CBA team, for their Keybinding System - Killzone Kid, for his GUI tutorials and Hex 2 Arma GUI Colour Converter at http://killzonekid.com/ - esteldunedain, for his swift and helpful collaboration on AGM Hearing fixes, https://github.com/esteldunedain - PabstMirror, for his considerate advice on security issues with userconfig includes - nkey, for his curator workaround, https://github.com/michail-nikolaev - The authors and contributors of BI Community WIKI, for such a useful reference - Armaholic and withSix networks for hosting this addon - My friends at the Expeditionary BattleGroup - always looking for decent members!, http://www.theexpeditionarybattlegroup.com License: This work is released under the Arma Public License Share Alike license.

A.Cyprus 16 Posted September 30, 2014 Thanks for the feedback, guys :) In honesty, I was a little hesitant in releasing this. It was more of a learning exercise and I didn't think anyone else would actually find it useful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkippyTheBushDoofKangaroo 10 Posted October 1, 2014 Hey ACyprus I love the mod and it is something that me and others have been wanting for a long time in MilSim ARMA. I hate to be the bad weather but I can't seem to configure the keys on my mouse to the addon keys. If there is any solution that would be great but keep up the good work. :ok: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A.Cyprus 16 Posted October 1, 2014 Sounds cool. Will download asap. Cheers. Lemme know how you get on. Seems neat. Definitely something I've needed many times in the past. Just seen your sig, I'm a massive fan of your Arma 3 YouTube channel. Glad you've found this helpful :) Effective and simple, just the way they should be. Thanks. I've a few addons currenty underway - I'm approaching all of them with that very same mantra. They won't be particularly dazzling or complex but hopefully they will be really handy. I can't seem to configure the keys on my mouse to the addon keys.If there is any solution that would be great but keep up the good work. Sadly, I'm aware of this as I'd tried it myself. I'm using a mechanism exposed by CBA to manage the key bindings and that system does not currently support mouse buttons. This is due to an underlying issue with event handlers in the engine, specifically wrt mouse clicks. (Here's the relevant ticket on the Feedback Tracker if you're interested more details.) I'll see what I can do for you as a workaround, and try to make it as elegant as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LAND2014 10 Posted October 5, 2014 Looks like fadeSound command doesn't work. Only me? I'm using latest stable version (1.30) and AGM addon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A.Cyprus 16 Posted October 5, 2014 I haven't tested in conjunction with AGM. Are you using all AGM modules? If not, which ones? Could you provide the content of your RPT file please, in case that sheds any clues? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A.Cyprus 16 Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Looks like fadeSound command doesn't work. Only me?I'm using latest stable version (1.30) and AGM addon. I've looked into this issue for you: fadeSound and Cyprus PtH both work correctly on v1.30. However, AGM's Hearing module takes control of sound volume to simulate temporary deafness during explosions and nearby gun fire etc, or the wearing of ear plugs. This breaks Cyprus PtH functionality. I will contact the author for a compromise. Imho, it should be acceptable for AGM to allow reduction in sound volume when PtH is active, as long as this is below the current 'deafness' level. When PtH is turned off, sound levels could return whichever 'deafness' factor was enforced by AGM Hearing at the time. In the meanwhile, the only workaround would be to remove agm_hearing.pbo from your @agm folder. Edited October 5, 2014 by ACyprus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A.Cyprus 16 Posted October 5, 2014 Update to status above: The chaps at team AGM have been kind enough to patch in some changes to AGM_Hearing that allow me to resolve the issue in PtH. I have already implemented these changes and will be releasing an updated version as soon as the next AGM is out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A.Cyprus 16 Posted October 7, 2014 @MrSaltyLemon Would you be satisfied with just the push-to-hear function bound to a mouse press, or are you also interested in the toggle feature? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would love to have a push-to-hear function as I do use a lot of push to talk. Thanks for heads up man :). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A.Cyprus 16 Posted October 9, 2014 Ok, cool. I was expecting you to say 'both' but I'll get that sorted for you first. I have some time to work on that hopefully Friday evening so expect an update (which will include AGM fixes too) some time soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
