DingDong! [14.1]

Ding Dong! Bring life, sound, and immersion to your settlements!

DingDong! adds interactive doorbells, desk reception bells, chimes, and door-knocking interactions with custom 3D spatial sounds and configurable cooldowns to your Eco world.

 

🔔 Interactive Doorbells & Chimes

Placeable decorative objects that emit 3D spatial sounds when interacted with (Right-Click):

• Simple Doorbell — A simple wall-mounted doorbell button for houses and shops
• Entrance Bell — Classic hanging shop bell that rings with a bright metallic chime
• Flat Bell — Discreet wall-mounted bell button
• Reception Bell — Traditional counter bell, perfect for your storefront, bank, or hotel desk
• Wind Chime — Relaxing melodic chimes to hang outside porches and balconies

 

🚪 Door Knocking

Knock on doors to catch the owner's attention before entering!

• How to knock: Hold Ctrl + Right-Click on any door to knock on it.
• Vanilla Doors Supported: Automatically injected into all vanilla Eco doors (wood, stone, metal, etc.) without replacing original game files.
• Immersive 3D Sound: Spawns a localized knocking audio cue heard by nearby players inside and outside.

 

⚙️ Configuration

The configuration file is automatically created at Configs/Mods/EcoPulse/DingDong.eco upon first server launch:

<pre>{ "ObjectDelays": { "SimpleDoorbell": 20, "EntranceBell": 20, "FlatBell": 20, "ReceptionBell": 20, "WindChime": 20, "KnockDoor": 20 } }</pre>

Cooldown delays: All values are defined in seconds. They control how often players can trigger each sound to avoid spamming.

 

📦 Installation

1. Extract the contents of the zip directly to the server root.
2. The Configs/ and Mods/ folders from the zip should merge with the server's Configs/ and Mods/.
3. Verify that files are in the correct location:

<pre>EcoServer/ ├── Configs/ │ └── Mods/ │ └── EcoPulse/ │ └── DingDong.eco.template └── Mods/ └── UserCode/ └── EcoPulse/ └── DingDong/ └── ...</pre>

Optional (Knock-only mode): If you only want the door-knocking feature on vanilla doors without adding the craftable doorbell items, simply delete the Mods/UserCode/EcoPulse/DingDong/Objects/ folder.
