Voice Communication on the Remote Control

zell12 · #1 09-20-2004, 11:51 PM

Well I was thinking that it might be a neat idea to have some form of Voice Communication on the RC. Mabey something like Ventrilo or something.

There could be some options to customize this:

Enable/Disable the Voice function
Mute function
Different channels/rooms to talk/chat in?
Have the voice chat in a seperate window
Certian servers could use diferent quality codecs depending on their popularity (A popular server would get a better codec because it gets more players )

Just throwing some ideas around...

Meh, if chat is not enough for you, either use the ingame voice chat (which provides most of the features you request) or use some third-party solution.
You really do not need to bloat RC more for those of use who just like to use it to work.hang around on debug and idle ;)

You can use RC to have hands-free communication to chat about work or something, while you are using your precious fingers to make code or tile the levels.

Yeah, Loriel is right, RC is intended for working. Not much sense in adding features promoting chat

even if it would be neat/fun

zell12 · #7 09-21-2004, 02:12 AM

Who says it would be for fun? And who says working isn't fun? Your reasons are not valid. because I said so. :P

Curt1zzle · #8 09-21-2004, 02:48 AM

*Shrug* That's not a priority, sure, it would be semi-cool but...

Just get TeamSpeak II or something

Yeah, you're right it isnt, but it is a nice add-on.

Let's add plug ins while we're at it.

My actual point was: This can be done very easily with third party software.

AAAAAAAAND if you do decide to go TSII plz list the Address because there are a TON of TSII servers lol.

1) Get teamspeak.

2) Stop asking for useless features to be added to a game that suffers from lack of content and functionality because all the devs are trying to add more features.

3) Log off of RC, you don't need RC to do work, you just need RC to upload the work you have done, if you are sitting around on RC talking to people and fall into the category that is whining about needing a feature to make it easier, you are obviously useless.

zell12 · #14 09-23-2004, 05:39 AM

So I suppose people that are on the RC as Admins (doing the GP stuff or whatcha call it now) are they going to upload stuff and log off too? No.

It is a nice feature, to add once everything else is done that is needed to be.

All the devs are doing is adding new features? Do you know what they are doing? Have you seen what they are doing? Or doyou even know these Devs working on the new RC? I assume you are talking about that and not the game because this discussion as nothing to do with the game.

You entitled to your opinion just as much as I am, but you can do it in a less violent manner. Your post is full of disgust.

Spark910 · #15 09-23-2004, 11:27 AM

The problems with this are:
1) Dial-up
2) No way to log what's being said/done - staff could shout whatever at each other and there would be no real proof of anything.

I have worked for a few playerworlds, but I say never again, when I see everyone else sitting around talking and working on things that are completely irrelevant to the server. I've seen my share of RC abusing and if you ask me, RC was not meant as a chatting device.

The problems with this;

1) Anyone still using dial-up should be punished.
2) The only people who cares about things being logged are whiney immature people who "can't take the heat". If they don't like something, they should log off and go elsewhere.

STOP DOUBLE POSTING! USE EDIT!
Thank you.

zell12 · #21 09-23-2004, 04:53 PM

I hate reading his posts now. ugh
If RC is not meant for a chatting device, why is there a freaking chat window you tool. Jesus.

Now, chat is not the sole purpose of the RC, but a side-feature, and a useful one at that. So whats better than typing what you want to say, when you can speak it? :o It would be like replacing the silly chat window (without actually replacing it

) with a new fancy voice thinger. ^_^

Loriel · #22 09-23-2004, 05:28 PM

Except no one needs it and almost no one wants it.

NicoX · #23 09-23-2004, 06:04 PM

lol
just use teamspeak2 to talk with ur friends X_X

Fry2 · #24 09-23-2004, 06:09 PM

You already said that twice so you might consider stopping posting about how we may use Teamspeak 2 to talk to our friends, thank you.

Topic:
However, I agree with NicoX, if you need voice communication that badly, use Teamspeak.

NicoX · #25 09-23-2004, 06:14 PM

ya rofl they are ignoring me
w/e

zell12 · #26 09-23-2004, 06:58 PM

I am not ignoring you, I just don't want to use teamspeak.

I dont care I like this idea ^_^
