VON Settings Reference [#von-settings-reference]

| Setting                      | Default | Description                                                                                    |
| ---------------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `VONDisableUI`               | `false` | When `true`, hides the VON UI indicator showing who's transmitting. Voice chat still works     |
| `VONDisableDirectSpeechUI`   | `false` | When `true`, hides the proximity chat UI indicator (separate from radio VON)                   |
| `VONCanTransmitCrossFaction` | `false` | When `true`, players can transmit on enemy radios. When `false`, they can listen but not speak |

Common Configurations [#common-configurations]

  "VONDisableUI": true,
  "VONDisableDirectSpeechUI": true,
  "VONCanTransmitCrossFaction": false
}
```

Casual / Fun Server [#casual--fun-server]

Defaults plus cross-faction radio for chaos:
