Troglodyte In Underbelly: Volume Redesign

During the creation of the options menu I had originally designed it to be segmented to represent the volume.

But that was scrapped due to Github complications and I decided to opt for a slider instead. To address the issue with the volume design in the options menu, I implemented a new segmented design to improve its appearance and usability. The segmented look provides a visually appealing and intuitive interface for players to adjust audio settings with precision. Each segment represents a specific volume level, allowing players to easily visualize and select their preferred volume setting. Additionally, the segmented design enhances the overall aesthetic of the options menu, aligning it more closely with the game's visual style and theme.


By introducing the segmented volume control, I aimed to enhance the user experience and streamline the customization process for players. The new design not only improves the visual appeal of the options menu but also makes it easier for players to fine-tune audio settings to their liking. With a more intuitive volume control, players can enjoy a smoother and more immersive gameplay experience, ensuring that audio levels are properly optimized. I even alter some of the code and added a way for the segments to match the volume level.

I had used the map to test the prefabs and then deleted them at a later commit, but for some reason, the map file size was huge. Later on, I was able to fix the file size (This was because somehow the map rebuilt itself using Global Illumination On in the terrain settings, so I just had to turn that off). But even after fixing the file size, it was complaining about it being too big. I figured this was because past commits still had that issue, so I looked into it.  I tried some solutions suggested by people, but nothing seemed to work. In the end, this resulted in both the Main Map and the House map having a duplicate index, which was throwing an error that wo...
