WALLS HAVE EARS

Version: 3.13.1

"A simple-as-possible module to muffle sounds that are behind a wall for a player or token."

walls-have-ears is a simple-as-possible module to muffle sounds that are behind a wall for a player in FoundryVTT. It is built and bundled using Parcel, offering a simple and efficient development experience.

Installation

In the setup screen, use the URL https://github.com/SebaSOFT/walls-have-ears/releases/latest/download/module.json to install the module.

Features

• Detects sound that are in range but through a wall, and muffles them
• Ignores open doors so sound should not be muffled if listened through an open door

How it works

• Enable Token Vision on the scene (this is a MUST)
• DO NOT Disable "Constrained by Walls" on the Sound
• EITHER Set sound occlussion on Walls to limited or none as needed
• It works with sound easing (volume changing)
• It will detect walls and muffle the sound (see table below)
• Windows are less likely to muffle (see table below)
• Terrain walls don't contribute to muffling (see table below)
• Ethereal Walls don't contribute to muffling (see table below)

Development

For details on the project structure, development process, and dependencies, please see the GEMINI.md file.

TO DO

• Estimate L shaped rooms and track sound bouncing, so it doesn't get muffled (possible echo/delay effect)

Known Issues

• If the first action you do when accessing the site is selecting a token, it won't be muffled, just select another token or move it one time.
