Title: Adding a sound notification in /sw (Stopwatch) countdown.
Post by: Combat on 16 09, 2020, 08:44:26 am
Subject: Adding a sound notification in /sw countdown.
Details: So right now, once we set the time on /sw ''countdown'' and it times up, all we just get is this simple text which will appear in your chatbox (https://i.imgur.com/HO55Wqh.png) and it is not much noticeable especially to those who use smaller chat lines or has a spammy chatbox.

So right now, what I'm suggesting is that when the countdown times up so this alarm sound will start to play. Moreover, this will make it more noticeable rather than checking the /sw command everytime.

I agree with Combat's suggestion. Even though the stopwatch system is not used that much but I believe that by adding a sound effect when the timer goes off on the stopwatch would a positive improvement for anyone that uses the command. I guess this could be more developed into more custom sound effects that player could use so there are varieties of sounds that suit their personal preference but I guess adding a default sound first before other sound effects would be much more appropriate. I'm voting Positive for this one.

Hello, Good Morning/Evening,

Oh, there is Countdown in-game.to be honest I don't even know that command is existing in-game. Let's go back to the topic this wonderful suggestion combat, I believe that adding a sound effect on countdown will give improvement on that command. I'm supporting your idea not because you are my groupmate but because your suggestion is totally to improve the system which is the one we're looking for. I don't see anything harmful or disadvantage in your idea so I'm going to give you  :tick: good luck with the other votes.

Idea is fine but the sound is annoying as hell. Do you have another sound(s)? In my opinion MTA's default countdown sound is better.

I like combat suggestions it will be more helpful to everyone in events and races but the sound you put is a little annoying so here is a sound I found in YouTube it will be better than that one https://youtu.be/9RTaIpVuTqE

That's a great idea.Stopwatch is used by most players to keep time, especially while buying RPGs.However, players often find it difficult to keep track of it.It would be nice to add a sound for this situation along with the suggestion.However, the sound you suggested may not be very clear, a different sound will be more logical.I'm positive

I'm supporting your idea even if few players are using the stopwatch but I think it makes sense because it's like a reminder so it should have a sound system.I hope this suggestion will be implemented in-game and I guess this won't harm anyone.Positive

Actually it should have an alarm that should literally notifies players when the stopwatch or a countdown was ended. As you can see, the current notification when the countdown ended is just a text which players need to read and not noticeable. Also, stopwatch is usually used when there's an event that needs a timer to know when the event will going to end as well as other stuffs like buying rpg, waiting for pump (cave miner), and so on. The current countdown will be more noticeable and useful in the future if this will going to be implemented. Voting positive.

Though I do not really use this feature it does make sense to add a sound that will notify you that your time is up. A text is unable to be seen in a chat that more than 70 people are chatting in. I do not have much to add, the only thing I will say is that this is a suggestion that is indeed useful and it should be implemented into the game.
 Voting Positive :tick:

/sw command is so useful in trainings, counting the riot duration and many more. This feature is actually being used in many ways. The only thing it was lacking is the sound / getting notified when the time is out because everytime I have to use /sw to see how long I reached or when the time is over and sometimes you miss it. It's a small feature and could be helpful in minor way.

I use that sometimes but I generally have tolook again and again. With a sound notification it can be very good and usefull.But adding a -/settings section which is '' CloseStop Watch Sounds '' can be usefull with this suggestion.Anyways my vote is Positive. :tick:

As a group leader I think this will help me a lot since I've used /sw multiple times in trainings/activities and sometimes someone can get an advantage because I didn't know if the time is done or not yet so I think this would be helpful for us (Leaders/Founders) and for the whole community as well but especially the leadership of groups. Positive with this suggestion.
