Silent BigBox Attract Mode

[Blakflag]

Is there any way to totally silence BigBox Attract mode without turning off almost all the sound options? I like sounds when I am actively navigating, but I don't want them playing all day when my box is just idling.

 

Thanks!

Perhaps @Jason Carr can add an option when Attract Mode starts mute sounds and make it configurable.   If I leave BB running I just Mute the Volume.

Thanks, yeah that's going to be my solution too until further notice. It would be a convenient option though.

I’d love this function. Was just trying to figure out how to do it myself while in Attract Mode so the arcade was still visually “inviting” but not disturbing other things going on in the room while not in use.

Fixing wording.

I wouldn't mind seeing this get added myself

I was just searching for this exact thing. Does anyone know if this got added in?

I am requesting this feature as well.  I sleep near my cab and don't want to hear it at night.  I also don't wish to unplug; however, that is my solution for now.

PLEASE HELP!!!

It's been a while, but I'm wondering if this was ever implemented? 

I see an option for "Attract Mode Navigation Sound" in the Sound options, but it doesn't appear to mute the game videos.

No, this was never something looked at for implementation and was not something that made the poll of the current items being developed.

If there is not a BitBucket ticket for it I would recommend opening one and linking it here on this thread. The more votes it can get the better chance it has of making it to a poll to be voted on.

To make a ticket use the link found at the top of the forum under the "Help & Support" menu. Look there for "Request a Feature"

This seems like the right ticket, added a vote. https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/1977/big-box-attract-mode-volume-control

Too funny.    I was just wondering if Big Box ever implemented a feature to change/mute the volume in attract mode.   Googled up this thread, with a link to my original feature request that I had completely forgotten about.     From way back in 2016 no less.

Can I make a donation to get this feature implemented?

We don't take donations to implement features. I took note of the ticket though and will take a look at the code and see how difficult this request would be. Can I assume we are just hoping for a new setting that is "Attract Mode Master Volume" then? That is how I've read the ticket and this forum post. I want to make sure I'm not over-simplifying the request though.

I would like to make a feature request that improves upon the attract mode volume control.  For those of us with full size arcade systems, we typically leave them on 24x7.  It would be helpful to have a 'lower attract mode to X% after Y minutes of inactivity".  That way I could set my system to be silent so many minutes after we stop playing it.  Is that also possible?
