Allows Unconcious People to Hear Speech

About the PR

Does that thing. Lets unconcious people hear chat, see radio chat, and see maptext. May have some minor discrepancies (haven't tested with intercom maptext), because speech code sux.

Why's this needed?

Currently being put under for surgery, in a sleeper, getting knocked out by chemicals or N2O, etc etc etc all suck to experience because you're vastly removed from the round during them, and can't keep track of what's going on at all. This lessens that somewhat.

Notably this gives a bit more power to people who are being knocked out and kidnapped or whatever, but that's such a low percent of all cases of being knocked out that, imo, this is by far a net good.

This is a very simple implementation, I'd be happy to introduce more intricacies to it if people would like.

It's been suggested to muffle the heard speech somewhat and only let unconscious people hear bits and pieces of what's being said (as in, "i am going to throw this guy into space" might become "... going to th ... this guy ... space" or similar").

will take a crack at implementing that sometime soon.

Really don't like this; you're unconscious, you shouldn't be hearing dip. Already we have people jumping out of the cloner after dying, and immediately screaming on the radio "JOHN STAFFMAN KILLED ME IN XYZ, HE'S A TRAITOR!" resulting in said traitor getting witchhunted no matter HOW well they built up and escalated a murder.

You can't trust people not to meta with this.

Also, people can full hear the radio while they're in cryo (not ghost cryo), not sure if that's an oversight or intended.

Might help to make it so people in a grab are fully deafened while unconscious.

This is a much better way. Also I'd say it shouldn't tell you the name of who says what. Just that "a muffled voice says "blah...blah blah...bla".
