This is a pretty simple plugin that does one thing: Turns off the ringing sound heard from explosions. It may work in other games (if relevant), but it is intended for Half-Life 2 Deathmatch so YMMV.

Requirements:

• sdkhooks

Installation:

• Put smx into addons/sourcemod/plugins
• load it

Thanks to:

• StrikerMan780 for the clue to achieving this

Interesting idea I will have to try this out.

Hmm, I thought there was a bug filed for this on the Source-1-Games issue tracker, but I don't see it. Someone should probably file one.

I remember seeing a bug report about the ringing not going away - but that's not what this is for. I did this one to implement the ring suppression that Keeper's Streaks provides.

Hi foo bar,

I am receiving the following message when I click on "Get Plugin"

Plugin failed to compile! Please try contacting the author.

Any advise sir?

Hey Neo:

I downloaded the .sp and was able to compile. I'm not sure, but I believe the online compiler won't compile a sourcepawn that includes sdkhooks which this plugin does. I've updated my op with the smx.

Cheers

When you return Plugin_Changed on a hook, everything is force copied regardless. Doing this without changing anything is actually pretty bad

It also looks like this has more of an impact then you realize. Armour and other game mechanics (slowing) won't happen if you patch it this way. Have you tried using SoundHooks instead?

EDIT: I'm really sorry, I some how edited your plugin description and not the reason for edit. I've put one up there, I hope it's correct.

Thanks Kyle. It's been a while since I've thought about this and I will revisit it at some point.

I did try Soundhooks but the ear bleeding isn't a sound. I thought it was a DSP thing, based on looking at a decompile keepers sounds but I never figured out how to do that. Changing the flag was the quickest option I had at the time. In game play the issue I've seen is damage appears to be reduced from explosions like rpg and slam. That wasn't a big deal on the servers I used this on.
