Text messages instead sounds (especially wailing)

<< < (2/2)

Little green man:
Thank you for answers.
And thank you for game, DoomRL is amazing. 

P.S.: i really think, that "*missile* hit something" (for corner shoot) and "you hear distant wail (roar, etc)" (for distant monster) will be enough and will not expose messages too mutch

And I was just hoping to read a zombie "grunt", or a Baron going all "WAAARGH!" on me...

Anyways, leaving jokes aside, having a "deaf" mode would be a nice thing, because deaf people aren't a mythical being on par with unicorns. They need their chance to enjoy the game, and all that, but that would be difficult if they don't hear shit.

Absolutely agree.
More options to the God of Options :D

areacode212:
Yeah, a toggleable "deaf" mode  is something that I've wanted for quite a while. I wonder if it would be possible for the *heavy breathing* and *wail* words to actually float out of the side of the screen where the noises are coming from, instead of the messages all being at the top.

I think Caves of Qud handles some alerts like that.

Reef Blastbody:
Deaf mode is a great idea. Sadly, it will not stop *me* from making sounds when I play, which is still going to wake up the room-mates and neighbors whenever I get a 'zerker pack and declare that I am in fact, a man and a half at the top of my lungs.
