Summary0000067: Console Command to Disable the announcer for pickups.
DescriptionI like using the announcer.
Although Having it always announce on pickups can eventually get annoying. Take Rocket Jump Mods for an example.
So, I suggest to have a CCMD that disables announcer for pickups. Probably cl_announcepickups default True. Also add a menu item in in the Player Setup under where you select the announcer to enable/disable announcing on pickups.

Can't say I'm in favor nor against this feature, one could just edit the announcer to remove the pickups sounds and get the same result.

Thanks.

Would it be at all possible adding a menu option in the Player Setup menu below the announcer section? (As stated in OP)
I'd do it myself but currently have no idea on how and where to edit any menus.

The player setup menu is in m_menu.cpp. Adding new menu entries is easy, just have a look at the file and you'll see. The player setup menu is pretty much full though, so I'm not sure if we really want an entry for this rather special CVAR at such a prominent place.

Thanks for merging this with the stable repo.

Just throwing around ideas, could an Announcer submenu, and/or even put it in the Sound menu work?
The sound menu has the room, and the Announcer is sound related. But it may cause confusion to players who aren't informed of the move.

Also, in 2.0 the menus have been scaled to make more room.

If you don't mind only having the menu option in 2.0, we can add it in the player menu in 2.0.

It's fine with me.
Can't say for everyone else though.
