Will there ever be Voice Chat in nexuiz, I sure hope so! i mean, it could improve the game BIDG Time, real strategies, but if yes, there will have to be a muting feature (when a user doesnt like somebodys foul language, they can press mute, and the person is muted only for them)

Will this ever happen?

If it did i would cry tears of joy.

man, if that was added, I'd be staying up all night playing!

You should be doing that already! hehe only joking! yeah would be fun eh.

This is what i have been reduced too:


Still i have grown quite attached to her and can not part, so many happy memories with this old gal.

(excuse me dusty old home made tablethingy)

I don't want to hear Yellow crying in game..

That's funny because I had actually been thinking about this lately too. I think it's a good idea. There definitely needs to be a mute option if this happens.

If I have voice chat all you will hear is me shouting "YOU <lots of swearing> NOOBS! DO SOMETHING YOU USELESS GUN TURRETS!!!" and smashing my fists on the keyboard

But tbh I'd be quite happy using TS or Vent if there was one around. An in game system would be an excellent bonus however.

i remember that , while my cousin was playing CSS, i played on a little keyboard some freaky sound (like super mario etc.) or pressed just one key "beeeeeeeeeeeep"
some guys screamed something like "fuck off"

i vote the mute feature.

heh - i don't have such a keyboard here

I hope this happens. it would improve Clans a bunch, because they can communicate, or just great strategies

I am all for it, but the only existing free system (Mumble) is really hard to integrate. Moving players into the right channel of their team means ACL editing at runtime, and exactly that is very hard to do at the moment (thanks to it using a weird DCOP interface for that purpose).

If there were a simple way to edit ACLs by means of a simple TCP connection with ASCII data (and no weird interface forcing to embed a huge library like Qt and writing lots of stuff in C++), it would have been already done.

I like the idea, but implementing it sounds like a pain in the ass for the developers working on this game.

just use vent or any of the other voice communication software. as for getting a server, maybe galt can get one going and everyone can copy him

Skype.

Only problem with using these is setting up the teams in the voice software... that's all.

You can easily run Skype in the backdround and get the same effect.

I really hope voice chat will be added in sooner or later. Hope the team will consider this and try to add it

As for implementing it, I think it normally shouldn't be that hard though I wouldn't know. For a start, holding the voice key pressed in the game can start recording a file from your microphone (just like sound recorder dies) then when you let go of the key that file is finished and sent to everyone else and played back. Then live streaming could be in... probably the technology can be downloaded from somewhere else and inserted into the game.
