PC - Request Sound Options?

[RKade8583]

I'd like to request sound options. Music, ambiance, table sound, etc. Even a simple Master Volume so I'm not having to open my mixer every time I want to play pinball AND talk to someone on skype.

Also, YAY! I got a FIXED Gorgar!

Yeah, I would love to turn down the music for when I play and listen to podcasts.

I was surprised it wasn't available to be honest.

 

[Jeff Strong]

Agreed, this would be nice.

only way to possibly control volum while in game without using a mixer is to open the coin door on pro tables and do adjustments there. Otherwise, nope

Does that take your subsequent scores out of high score list potential?

Do the pro mode volume settings actually do anything now? in the past they didn't have any effect

Yeah I'd like to see volume sliders for music and SFX within the game too.

I want to play The Pinball Arcade while I listen to "Pinball Wizard" from The Who.

Add me to the list of people looking for refined sound options.

Hope I'm not treading on any toes here (and Mike etc., let me know if you don't want this here) but this is something I saved from the beta that still works in the final game

Create a directory under the "PinballArcade" folder called "Dev"
In that directory, create a new text document called Setup.txt
Edit aforementioned text document, and copy/paste the following:

Volume_SoundFx			= 100
Volume_Ambient			= 100
Volume_Music			= 100

SoundFx is the menu and in-game sound effects (duh), including the electronic sound effects generated by the game (so there's no way to balance the mechanical sounds with the emulated, electronic ones).
Ambient is all menu-based music, like the main menu music and the pre-game music (when the camera is wandering around the table)
Music is in-game music. Personally, I've found a good balance to be 100/0/45, but you can obviously tweak to your liking

Thanks, i didn't have to create a text file it was there actually.

Pro tip: Those settings also exist on the iOS version of TPA, so they can be tweaked there as well. That requires access to the file system though, something I won't be going into here

Sorry for OT, but could controller vibration be deactived by a command in setup.txt also? If yes, what is the command?

TestDisableVibrate = TRUE

Would normally do it -- it might not work in release builds, though.

In-game volume control

Hi

Please add an in-game volume control. The music is SO LOUD when starting the game. I was on Skype with some friends while starting the game, and I couldn't hear what they were saying . Had to Alt+Tab and separately adjust the volume via the Windows volume mixer.

Suggestion is to add a volume control to the Settings menu, and perhaps also decrease the volume just a bit on the start-up music so I don't have to blow out my speakers/ears each time I start the game

Regards
ArchAngel

Across ALL platforms I would like the option to turn off the god-awful menu music.
