Perceptive (View Distance and Audio Levels)

Perceptive is an addon inspired by CH View Distance which expands the users control in multiple ways. Including the ability to adjust the volume of effects, ambient, and music, from the same menu. More below...

Settings will save to the profileNamespace and be loaded upon mission start. They will sync to and automatically adjust to the type of vehicle you're in. The menu can be opened, and the main options may be increased or decreased, with keybindings of the users choice.

Playing with ACE
Unfortunately, the ACE mod registers an every-second-event with CBA that will fadeSound and fadeMusic to your in-game settings. To ensure Perceptive correctly adjusts and maintains your sound settings, you must go into Addon Options>Mission/Server(which ever setting applies), ADDON: Ace Hearing (this is the list at the top)>Set "Enable Combat Deafness" to false.

Accessing Menu and Options
The default key to open the menu is 'P'. This, and the other settings can be adjusted by going to Options>Controls>Show (this is the top drop-down list)>Perceptive. Please look closely at the path; the Perceptive keybindings are found within the normal/vanilla Arma controls "Show" list, not within any addon controls sub-list or area.

Syncing
You can sync the object distance to the view distance, and the ambient volume, as well as music volume, to the effects volume.

Limiting Usage
Mission creators can limit the maximum value to which a user can set their view and object distance. This can be done through adding a mission parameter to the missions description.ext, with a class name of ViewDistance, or through the ACE by Addon Options>Mission/Server/Client(which ever setting applies), ADDON: Ace View Distance Limiter (this is the list at the top)>Set "Enable ACE viewdistance" to true, and adjust the "View Distance Limit" to your desired max. ACE will take precedence over a mission parameter if "Enable ACE viewdistance" is true, otherwise it will check for a mission parameter, and if no parameter is provided, the maximum view distance will default to the Arma normal 12000 meters.

Individually, if used, the ACE On Foot, Land Vehicle, and Air Vehicle, view distance limits must be greater than View Distance Limit, otherwise they will not be used.
