1 dismissal Add a Deaf Accessibility Mode

Create a "deaf or hard-of-hearing" mode that you can toggle on or off, where sound effects have little runechat indicators pop up in the direction they're coming from.

Here's an example: let's say you were in the medical lobby, and the bubbling sound effect for a mixed chemical plays. To the left of your screen, a *bubble* runechat popup would display.

Then, all of a sudden, there's a gunfight down the hall! At the side of your screen, you see popups-- *bang!* *bang!* *bang!*

I have no idea how hard this would be to implement, which is why it is just a suggestion. But I think this would be useful for deaf or HoH people who play SS13, or even just people who have to play muted.

I support this as someone who blasts music while playing and regularly misses explosions as a result.

and this would be cool

This probably requires input from coders on how difficult it would be to implement, but it would be nice to have, yes.

We'd need to write the text version of about 1533 (at the moment) files, plus the system to handle this

It's not worth the effort for such a limited use case
