Self Triggering Voice Com

ViPr · November 2002

<div class="IPBDescription">can we have that?</div> i played alien recently and i do awesomely except with skulk but anyway. i love being fade going right up near a door when a marine is on the other side so when they open it there's a fade standing there right up in their face. i'd love to hear the scream they let out but they are probably too shocked and panicky and busy trying to save their lives to press the voice com button, and why should they anyway? so i was wondering if valve could be persuaded to make it so the voice com automatically switches on whenever a player makes enough sound into their microphone.

Heh, if that was coded in, all we'd hear is cussing. =D

Heh, all you'd hear most of the time from me would be "Need a gorge to build this hive" and "**obscenity**!", and also "**obscenity**!"

you'd probabbly here alot of:

TV's
burping
farting
moms: "Are you playing games? did you do your homework?"

Around 1 year ago my TFC clan mates would occasionally have to put up with my cat meowing while in heat. She's spayed now though <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

There's enough background mumbling on the voice comm channel already, we dont' need more. If they do add that it would require a client patch, and maybe the could change the voice comm indicator so it's not <i>White</i> on <i>Yellow</i> and move it away from the alien upgrade info so you might acctually be able to read who's speaking sometimes.

All you would hear from my mike would be: "Yes, lover... be there in a second. (30 minute pause-Rinse and repeat)"

And yeah Oz, I second it again, myself. Don't know how many times I've had this happen.

What you would hear from me is god awful singing

cause I listen to my favorite songs while playing

and loudly...

and I sing to them (bwahhahaha)

so for the love of your own ears, don't implement this

It would scare teamplay, but if someone is within a certain range it should what they say on voicecom heard.

PS I read basicly the first post or so.

if you really want you could just have people type +voicerecord in console... then its always on... i do that when i play commander and it helps not holding down keys

I REALLY agree about those voice com names. With the gamma changes that NS does, I can never read the names of the speaking Kharaa, and it's difficult even as Frontiersman. In both cases it would be nice if it could be changed to black text on the color, but I'm not sure whether that falls under the aegis of the modders. Hmm... time to dig into the valve SDK.

As for the auto volume thing... isn't there an option for that? I think the current system is better, however.
