[p][/p][h3]Work in Progress[/h3][p]I’m currently working on a new sound range system, based on earlier versions (0.2.x – 0.3.x). There will be 5 noise levels depending on the player’s actions at the time. [/p][p][/p][p]This system will also be tied to lockpicking and crowbar mechanics. When interacting with locked doors or objects, you will have two options:[/p]

• [p]Lockpick: Enters a mini-game to unlock. This method is silent.[/p]
• [p]Crowbar: Allows you to force open certain doors instantly, but it creates a lot of noise, which may alert nearby infected.[/p]
