Mentor suggestion - Lady Birb - 07-09-2018
Because sometimes I like to observe the round while tabbed out and doing other things, but I don't want to miss any mentorhelps, there should be a toggleable option for mentors to play a sound every time someone mentorhelps.

I would like this
It should be different from the ahelp sound though

I agree. Sometimes I go into space as a ghost to mute non-important station sounds and alt-tab to watch YouTube videos while waiting for round-end. I wouldn't mind a toggleable mentorhelp sound, as it only takes a second to tab back in and answer one most of the time.

Have you considered just being in the relevant IRC/Discord channel?

This may have what you want as you can set discord to make a sound whenever there is a new post. You can also set it so only mentor chat makes this sound. Mentor chat also shows mentorhelps.

With the volume of mentorhelp messages we have, it would dramatically increase the amount of "false alarm" sounds I would get.(07-09-2018, 11:37 AM)Mordent Wrote:(07-09-2018, 10:42 AM)robertGN Wrote: I agree.

IRC notifications are a bit more distinct, so I'll probably settle for that. Thank you for the suggestions Ed and Mordent.
I still do believe that a toggleable mentorhelp sound wouldn't be that bad of a thing, if only for the fact that I personally get a bit tunnel-visioned around the more window-based jobs like scientist and geneticist.

As somebody who plays ss13 in a vm on a pc from 2007 This feature would be absolutely amazing as discord takes up a ton of memory and CPU cycles.
