Earplugs

[EARPLUGS] is a simple (client-side) mod that adds virtual earplugs to the player. When activated it will decrease the sound of weapons and vehicles to about 20%. Especially useful for pilots and vehicle crew. It wont muffle music or in game voices.

[Installing]
Click on subscribe. Start the Arma 3 Launcher. Go to mods and select "Earplugs". This mod is for clients only, no server install needed.

[How to use]
Once inside a mission, scroll the mouse wheel and you will find an option to toggle the earplugs.

[Binding to key]
You can also bind the earplugs to User Action 14.
Press ESCAPE - > CONFIGURE - > CONTROLS and choose Custom Controls. Set the Use Action 14 to what ever key you want, for example "O". This will toggle the earplugs everytime you press "O".

[Where does this work?]
It works for (almost )all missions in SP, player hosted MP and dedicated MP (if the server allows it).
Servers that check for file signatures needs to add the ELi.bikey to ARMA_ROOT\keys.

[KNOWN ISSUES & OTHER REMARKS & FAQ-like]
- This mod is client side only, so you don't have to install and run it on a server. You may need to install the server keys though, see description.
- The mission "Liberation" uses a similar technique to modify sounds, so when entering or exiting a vehicle you may want to toggle the earplugs.
- Probably doesn't work with ACE and is probably not needed since ACE comes with their own earplugs.
- Does not work with the "Dynamic Recon Ops" missions.
- Comments like "Your mod sucks it doesn't work" without supplying any useful info will be deleted. Try again, add a description of what's not working, and what mission(s) mods you are using the earplugs with. It's impossible for me to help otherwise.
- Got report(s) of incompatibility with the mission "Old Man". Haven't tried that myself.
Have now tried Old Man scenario, and it seems to work as intended.

[TROUBLESHOOTING]
1. Launch Arma 3 without any other mods other than this (Earplugs). Start up the "Showcases" ---> "NATO".
2. Repairing this mod, see [Updating] below.
3. Verify Arma 3 game files on Steam.

[FUTURE / FORKING / MODDING THE MOD]
I have currently no plans of updating/changing/improving this mod since I'm kinda done with ArmA 3.
Feel free to edit/change/re-upload this mod to Steam Workshop or any similar outlet as long as you
add credits to the original author (me).

[DISCLAIMER]
This is my first mod ever made for Arma 3. Even though this is very basic it may contain errors and bugs. Feel free to report any issues but I have currently no plans of updating this (see above about future). Also, you are using this mod at your own risk. Don't blame me if your computer burns up or your girl/boy friend breaks up.
