Enable both the BVPatch and the main mod. Do so after Broadcast Voicer

Ive got the same question as loccat
Loccatpowersdog 13 Jun @ 5:40pm 
If I have something that uses Broadcaster Voice should I use only the patch version or the patch version+base & if so what order?

@ElGranCristianYTOfficial Afraid not. But there is a b41 mod that does something similar, but with more variety (Mod ID: MyEarsAreCovered)
ElGranCristianYTOfficial 11 Jun @ 12:29pm 
compat whit b41?

Can you make earplugs? That would be pretty cool, it would make some things a lot more convenient and stylish

Would be awesome if this got rid of panic! Lock myself in, put these on and read a book as zombies bang relentlessly on my door.

@Daiza Will fix later today, ty

You have syntax error in lua in main mod, so when any muffs are on only Hat_EarMuffs settings applied because that's default value for itemName and it doesn't get any later.
MeanSmoker 1 May @ 10:26pm 
Works well thank you. I have a suggestion to make the Ear Protectors toggleable between on the neck and on the ears. Would be really handy!

A balaclava? That's weird lol. I'll see if I can add a compatibility patch for that
トガヒミコ 30 Apr @ 11:58am 
there is a conflict with the mod ( KATTAJ1 Military Pack [B41/B42] ), or more precisely with balaclavas. The sound breaks, disabling the mod does not help. Probably, other accessories from other mods also conflict. Be careful when choosing clothes ordinary gamers ;)

P.S. I left it for ordinary players just in case, so that others do not encounter such a problem.

P.S.S. I love this mod!

@HARA-KIRI Or when you're waiting out the helicopter event and it's deafeningly loud right above you lol
HARA-KIRI 5 Apr @ 7:50pm 
This mod is actually useful as some weapons in this game me fucking deaf irl.
Königkaiser 5 Apr @ 10:05am 
now we need mod that long term gun usage makes you deaf without ear protection
Scroobles McDoodle 4 Apr @ 10:09pm 
Reckon you could extend this to headphones and earphones?
bubby_pz33  [author] 4 Apr @ 7:50pm 
@jmall2021 I can add that but are you sure you'd want that to happen? What if you wake up and you're surrounded because you went asleep when it wasnt safe
jmall2021 4 Apr @ 7:37pm 
Not sure if this functions like this but it would be awesome if you could sleep through the night with zombies close by with these on. Anyone know if that works?
Epsilon-11 4 Apr @ 10:58am 
has anyone tried this lifestyle music instrument volumes?
Big Dan 3 Apr @ 2:45pm 
i'm not too sure how possible this is but active hearing protection would be cool! it could block out loud noises but then amplify things like footsteps so you can hear zombies better.

@KWG
Thank you for letting me know.
KWG 1 Apr @ 2:17am 
@Joos I've been using a mod that does that. There is no tinnitus effect but you lose audition for a moment while shoting some loud firearms, and you have to use ear muffs to avoid that.

But it's very exciting to know that @bubby_pz33 is also making something like this.
Construct 31 Mar @ 8:20pm 
what an amazing mod! thanks dude!
Salvo 31 Mar @ 4:45pm 
@bubby_pz33 That's understandable, either way I can't wait to see what you do with the mod
Salvo 31 Mar @ 4:44pm 
depends on the gun @Lumi-Zoomy as someone who has shot guns without ear protection outside, yeah that shit rings your ears once it's a high enough caliber, shotguns ar's stuff like that you'll hear it a little bit
Lumi-Zoomy 31 Mar @ 10:36am 
I don't think the ringing should occur if you shoot outside, but blasting your gun in a small closet or kitchen. Yeah thats going to suck.
bubby_pz33  [author] 31 Mar @ 9:05am 
@Salvo I might expand the hearing damage expansion mod to include other clothing items that cover ears, but I'm not experienced at making models for new items.
bubby_pz33  [author] 31 Mar @ 8:16am 
@Electrose Will do. I'm thinking of including bombs too, since they're noise radius is usually huge
Electrose 31 Mar @ 6:06am 
If you add the tinnitus affect or reduced hearing, then I'd say suppressors should stop that from happening. Maybe have a check for Rain's Firearms since it's a big mod and if they do then stop tinnitus from happening, you can of course make your own silencer. Up to you if you want the Rains Firearms option as a replacement or not.
You could also, if you go the reduced hearing route then add hearing aids we can find
Salvo 31 Mar @ 12:33am 
it would be cool if, alongside that tinnitus effect, you added earplugs as an item, that way we don't have to have headphones on, maybe making them wearable with anything as well

@bubby_pz33
Joos 30 Mar @ 9:32pm 
Can't wait!
bubby_pz33  [author] 30 Mar @ 8:12pm 
@Joos Are you spying on me??? Lol I'm working on something similar right now. It will work with the mod and also without it, for people who don't want the actual volume decrease
Joos 30 Mar @ 7:20pm 
Could you add a function where if you do not have ear protection while shooting a gun, you get tinnitus or have reduced hearing?
Adding a ringing sound or pain de-buffs would make this really immersive.

@bobby_pz33
(tysm for the mod)
bubby_pz33  [author] 30 Mar @ 4:27pm 
Tyvm guys. Lmk if you have any suggestions or ideas to add on to this
Space Donuts 30 Mar @ 3:50pm 
This is gonna be useful when camping, instead of fiddling with the audio options everytime it is raining, I can just wear this to minimize the annoying rain sounds effects. Thank you <3
VinnieTheGuy 30 Mar @ 3:16pm 
Cool, gonna try this right now! It's funny I was thinking this was needed just yesterday
bubby_pz33  [author] 30 Mar @ 2:49pm 
@SecretFear Yes, it works with True Music :) TM is ambient volume I believe
SecretFear 30 Mar @ 2:43pm 
I NEEDED THIS! Hopefully it works with True Music / TM Radio. Turning up volume full blast to attract zeds via music is rough and this would be perfect. Thanks!
