What's New

Experimental In-Game Movie Muting

New Overlay Toggle

  • ECM-R now exposes an Experimental overlay menu with an In-Game Movie Muting toggle.
  • The toggle updates the runtime behavior immediately and persists the change back to the INI file.

Disabled by Default

  • This feature remains experimental in this release.
  • The new [experimental] ingame_movie_muting setting defaults to false.
  • While the setting stays disabled, ECM-R keeps the legacy package-driven pause and resume behavior.

Comic-Style Movie Coverage

  • When enabled, ECM-R treats NFSU2's documented IG_PlayMovie.fng package as an in-game movie mute trigger.
  • This covers comic-style career movie sequences that play before or after races through the game's IG_PlayMovie.fng path.
  • The experimental mode also reconciles pause state against the mute packages that are actually loaded so music stays paused for the full lifetime of the movie package.

Configuration Changes

Experimental Section

  • The movie-muting option now lives under a dedicated [experimental] section as ingame_movie_muting = false.
  • Existing temporary experimental_ingame_movie_muting entries migrate automatically to the new setting name and section.

Documentation Updates

  • Updated README.md to describe the experimental overlay menu entry and the new INI setting.
  • Updated CONFIGURATION.MD to document the [experimental] section and the default false value.
  • Updated docs/application-context.md to record that the movie-muting path is still experimental.
  • Updated CHANGELOG.md for v0.5.11-alpha.

Validation

  • Built successfully in Release | Win-x86.
  • Verified touched source files for editor-reported errors.
  • Manual gameplay validation confirmed that enabling the option pauses music during a comic-style race cinematic and resumes playback on race entry.

Notes

  • This release keeps the feature experimental on purpose.
  • If stop_music_on_loading_screens is enabled, loading screens can still stop the current track after the movie transition.
