Description

Currently in Dday, as in the original games, a monster doesn't stop playing its sight or active sounds (or any other sound) if it is killed.

In most cases the sounds a monster makes are short enough that one doesn’t notice, but some monsters, such as Heretic's Disciple, have very long sight or active sounds that can lead to a mobj's corpse "growling at or speaking to you” long after it has been killed.

This is more noticeable in Dday due to more sound channels.

I was wondering if it is possible to add an optional option that instantly cuts any sight or active sounds a mobj is playing if it is killed?

Withdrawn; my apologies.

My apologies; I am no longer sure of the accuracy of what I originally wrote above and thus have withdrawn it.

I think the 'sound-overlap-stop' cvar covers this old RFE.
