File:  SoundManagement.cfg

This configuration controls the way the sounds in the game are 
played.  If using any sound mod along with the ZRP, please check 
to see if you have conflicting files before using the FileChoice 
entries, as these entries overwrite the existing sound script 
and config files (not the sounds themselves).  If you wish to 
undo your changes, you can use the Revert button to restore the 
original installation configuration.


Background Sounds

Ambient sounds can be played frequently, moderately often or 
rarely.  The default is frequently, which loads a background 
sound every 5 to 8 seconds.  You can increase this to 50 to 80 
seconds, or 200 to 400 seconds between ambient background 
noises.

There is also a fourth choice, which reduces the frequency of 
ambient effects by a factor of 10 as well as the 40X decrease 
in sounds.


NPC Chatter Control

Since 1.07 ZRP uses a new sound manager for NPC "chatter".  It 
does not require a new game and it does not affect saves, so 
you can change it whenever you wish.

You can set (or reset) the sound management to vanilla, or you 
can use the new form which reduces the frequency of speech for 
NPCs to a more tolerable level. (The simpler version of the NCC 
form is currently disabled.)

The ZRP NCC form is the default.  It provides the ability to 
limit the repeating NPCs to say their lines only once per 
session, or even randomly not say anything.

This version is experimental.  If you don't like it, you can 
use the vanilla setup.  Please note that if you do, you will 
not be able to use the Sound Annoyances entries to quiet the 
chatterboxes via the Modifier, as the vanilla configuration is 
packed in a database file.

See also docs\NPC_Chatter_Control.txt for more details on the 
NPC chatter control support.


Sound Annoyances, Parts 1, 2, and 3

Unlike prior ZRP versions, the NCC does not suppress annoying 
sounds by default, so if they are still an issue for you, this 
is the section for you.

If you are using the default NPC Chatter Control, you can use 
these entries to shut up individuals that you still find 
annoying.

Just select the checkbox for the NPC (or NPC group) you wish 
to silence, then click the Apply button.  If you want to hear 
an NPC again, uncheck the box and click Apply.
