Stop Choppy Audio

Get rid of choppy audio! Improve performance.

Does your audio glitch in your base from all the sounds coming from your crafting, lights, tames, environment and other sound effects?

Stop Choppy Audio allows you to restrict sound effects based on their distance from you. All those sound effects takes resources and reduce performance even if you can't hear them because they're too far away.

You can configure Stop Choppy Audio to prevent those sounds from ever playing until you're closer to them.

You can also configure Stop Choppy Audio to apply this limit only near a base (or have it restrict all the time).

New

• 0.1.0 Initial release

Configuration

General

Max Player Distance: The distance players need to be from a sound effect for it to play.

Min Base Value: The minimum 'value' of a nearby base to restrict sound effects. Setting to 0 will always apply restrictions.

Utility

LogLevel: Controls the level of information contained in the log

Notes

• This version is a "minimum viable product". If there's demand, I will add looping sound types like the windmill, beehive, shield generator, etc.
• If you're looking to just lower the sound volume of some of these, try QuietCrafting (and other noisy things).
• Your base value is basically calculated from the number of player placed pieces within 20 meters of you.
• If you're not sure about your "base value", you can change the Log level to "Debug" to see what your base value is at your current player location. Just don't forget to set your Log level back.

In-game reconfiguration

You can use Configuration Manager (or similar) mod to change the configuration without exiting the game. You can force a configuration update by modifying the config file.
