About
Have you ever thought how odd it is that sounds do not seem to care about walls? Why do gunshots behind 3 meters of concrete sound the same as when it's they go off right in front of you? Well if so, then this addon might just be what you're looking for.

Features
  • Dynamically determine the appropriate muffling effect using a sensible occlusion detection.
  • Three muffle effect variant. One for each distance range.
  • Distant muffling for things that are far away regardless of obstruction.
  • Customisation via console variables.
  • Works for every sound other than voice chat as far as I know.
  • Multiplayer compatible. Each player will hear different muffling levels based on their position.

Commands
sme_active (serverside) - Enable or disable sound muffling. sme_attenuation - Enable or disable custom attenuation. Disable this if you think sound radii are too low. sme_sound_bouncing - Enable or disable sound bouncing. You can turn this off if you're experiencing performance problems. Note that this makes sound muffling way less accurate. sme_sound_launch_dist - Part of sound bouncing. How far can a sound launch from a source before it starts bouncing. sme_min_thickness - How much distance between you and where a sound source hit a solid for muffling effect to apply. Increase if you think sounds get muffled too easily. Decrease if you think that sounds hardly gets muffled. Setting it to 0 effectively disables it. sme_far_muffle_dist - How far away should a sound be for it to be muffled regardless of occlusion. Setting it to 0 effectively disables it.

Reporting Bugs
You can report bugs in the comment or even better, in a thread. Please note that only reports with steps to replicate will be investigated. Thank you!

Miscellaneous
The mod is compatible with Echo/Reverb Everywhere. In fact, this was supposed to be a part of that addon, but I thought it deserves its own identity.

Some NPC deathsounds cut out abruptly with this addon ( Metrocop is the most noticable).

I love this addon, but unfortunately it breaks the majority of sounds for VJ Base NPC's. Huge bummer!

I feel right in the action!

This is an awesome add on, but this mod disables the voices added from RCVR. RCVR is a framework that allows for multiple voice packs to be used at once for NPCs. I hope a solution can be found!
