Sound Notifications

[Warnipple]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
A small improvement item that plays a sound file when certain words are said in chat. Mainly used by MPs to respond to emergencies.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Helps MPs do their job more effectively. Could help others do their jobs more effectively as well.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
As an MP and sometimes cargo maint tech or chief engineer. I find myself with large periods of boredom. I don't want to monitor chat and continue to wait for someone to call for my help. I usually find myself alt-tabbing and coming back every now and then to check chat if anyone called me.

This is a detriment to being an MP, Cargo or Maint Tech when their assistance is immediately needed. So I propose this item.

This item when most likely would augment your ear piece like a radio encryption key. Preset or you set it to beep whenever a word is said in Sulaco General.

For example: MPs would have theirs set to "MP". If someone says that then it would play a sound file so that player knows that someone needs immediate assistance.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

This item would most likely have to act like a tape recorder (which are broken currently) and when the specific letters, case sensitive, come together then it would play the sound file for all users that are both on the Sulaco and can read/hear it. Working like a PDA message, possibly.

Alternately, add as an addition to telecomms. Whenever specific letters are said in Sulaco General, it will send a message (play a sound file) to those being requested with a 15 second cooldown maybe.

So something like, "[MPs}! [Brawl] in [Canteen]" would trigger the sound file?

Just the [MP] would trigger, that would be nice.

Crying wolf is also to have a person liable to be arrested or at the very least stun batoned.

Old post, lack of support.

Asking this to be locked.

Too much trouble considering that MPs don't get to do much. Not a bad idea though, so denied for now.
