Normal talking only in /low range from the door. Shouting only from normal range. And if you're using /low in range of the door, you wouldn't even be able to make out the words, just that something is being said by someone, but nothing else. As for mging where people live, you can do that without this suggestion. You don't actually get OOC information through this concept, right? So the mg would already have been done beforehand.

If it's something that can be done properly where the radiuses actually make sense for what's realistically hearable then sure, but there should be an extra level added to it - depending on the wall or door maybe it can't be heard at all, i.e a full brick layered wall with a metal door making it somewhat impossible to hear anyone, whilst a wooden wall with a wooden door can be tied to the radiuses.

I considered that too, but as far as I know, materials and surfaces like that don't have particular material properties, so this is essentially impossible. The extra level would be taking the proximity one notch down from the shout, normal, and /low ranges, as described in the suggestion. That would represent the barrier. 1 Link to comment

This seems like a good compromise then, I can understand where you came from. Link to comment
AtlasOLimbo Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 +1 Although I'd like some kind of context menu to access this somehow, sick of remembering 30 thousand commands. Link to comment
Zarina Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 +1 with some restraints - I think this would be great, but the radius would need to be quite small. I could see this glitching and it could cause a lot of problems (metagaming). Link to comment
Smurf Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I want you to go stand outside your home's front door and have somebody speak normally 5-10 feet from the door in a normal voice. You aren't going to be able to hear a thing; this would be abused to all hell's end. No. Link to comment
swamature Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Would be cool if it was done like how it's done in SS13 (example, when you're knocked out you can only make out a few words in someones sentence.) Link to comment
