[feature] disable studio sounds

[willbr]

PlayUISound is used to play tool sound effects e.g. while rotating an actor.

3DMMForever/src/studio/studio.cpp

Lines 2264 to 2267 in 79b3010

	/***************************************************************************
	The movie engine is using the tool, now play the sound
	***************************************************************************/
	void STDIO::PlayUISound(long tool, long grfcust)

Tooltip sounds are triggered via scripts:

3DMMForever/src/shared/sharhelp.cht

Lines 572 to 583 in 79b3010

	// -----------------------------------------------------
	// For playing tooltip sounds
	// -----------------------------------------------------
	SCRIPTCHUNK("Playing other sounds", kidPlayToolTipSounds)
	If(_parm[0] == 0);
	fMZAudio = GetProp( kpridMcZeeAudio ) & kflgMcZeeAudio;
	If (._cnoSound != cnoNil && !fMZAudio);
	StopSoundClass(0, sclHelpSoundClass);
	PlaySoundGob(GidParThis(), ._ctgSound, ._cnoSound, ksqnNone, 0x10000, 1, 0, sclHelpSoundClass);
	End;
	End;
	ENDCHUNK

	case kopPlaySoundGob:
	hid = _LwPop();

	if (!_fError)
	{
	pgob = (hidNil == hid) ? pvNil : _PgobFromHid(hid);

	{
	lw1 = ((PGOK)pgob)
	->SiiPlaySound(qrglw[6], qrglw[5], qrglw[4], qrglw[3], qrglw[2], 0, qrglw[1], qrglw[0]);
	}

ADOPT_WAVE is used to link sounds to mouse click events for toolbar buttons

Clicking the Scene cover

3DMMForever/src/studio/studio.cht

Line 481 in 79b3010

ADOPT_WAVE(kcnoCoverWav, CHID(kstClosed, krepClicked))

Clicking secondary tools

3DMMForever/src/studio/sectools.cht

Line 385 in 79b3010

ADOPT_WAVE(kcnoSecToolWav, CHID(kstDefault, krepMouseDnOn))

Can these be made into a user preference at some point in the future. We are a long way off from the modern version with new renderer, higher resolutions, etc - but there is a settings dialog of a sort, the options could go there...

[willbr]

Sure.

As an example, Better Speed is saved in the registry.

3DMMForever/src/studio/utest.cpp

Lines 1997 to 2016 in 79b3010

	/***************************************************************************
	Sets _fSlowCPU if this is a slow CPU. It tests the graphics,
	fixed-point math, and memory copying speed, and if any of them are
	slower than a threshold, _fSlowCPU is set.
	***************************************************************************/
	bool APP::_FDetermineIfSlowCPU(void)
	{
	AssertBaseThis(0);
	bool fSlowCPU;
	// If user has a saved preference, read and use that
	if (FGetSetRegKey(kszBetterSpeedValue, &fSlowCPU, size(bool), fregNil))
	{
	_fSlowCPU = fSlowCPU;
	return fTrue;
	}
	_fSlowCPU = fFalse;

It also saves a small blob of binary data as UserData

This includes a flag kflgMcZeeAudio for disabling McZee tooltips.
