Needs

Nothing else One client mod: no DayzHUB Core, no licence, no server mod.
DayZ 1.30 Load it with -mod and put DayzHUB.bikey in the server keys folder.

Works with

DayZ Expansion, LBmaster and TheModBase mods Works with them.

Steps aside

LBmaster EarPlugs If it is loaded too, DayzHUB EarPlugs steps aside so the two never fight.

Features

Press N to put the earplugs in or out. Numpad - and + change the level in 5% steps, Numpad * cycles the presets, and Shift + N opens the settings panel.
Group voice: press Numpad / and only your LB Advanced Groups group hears your voice, at normal voice range. Press it again and everyone hears you. It only changes who hears you, never your own mutes, and works on servers that run LB Advanced Groups.
Five sound channels, each lowered as a percentage of YOUR own volume settings: Effects (guns, steps, vehicles), Music, Voice (VOIP), Radio and Speech. Voice and radio stay untouched by default, so you still hear your team.
Presets Light, Firefight, Silent and your own Custom. Numpad * cycles them. Your own sound settings are restored exactly when you take the earplugs out.
Optional automatic modes: quieter while you are in a vehicle, and a short extra damping after each shot you fire.
A small indicator shows the level and then shrinks to a small icon. Position, size and opacity can be changed. Your levels and choices are saved on your own PC, with an option to keep the earplugs in after you reconnect.
All keys can be changed in Options > Controls > Configure keybindings > DayzHUB EarPlugs. Messages from the mod show as a small card in the top right corner.
Nothing to set up: one client mod, no DayzHUB Core, no licence, no server mod and no config. Load it with -mod and put DayzHUB.bikey in the server keys folder. Nothing runs while idle. DayZ 1.30.
Works with DayZ Expansion, LBmaster and TheModBase mods. If LBmaster EarPlugs is also loaded, DayzHUB EarPlugs steps aside so the two never fight.
