Quick Question

SoulSkorpion · May 2005

In the current patch, are there any restrictions on who can see\hear what you <span style='font-family:Courier'>say</span>, <span style='font-family:Courier'>say_team</span> and <span style='font-family:Courier'>+voicerecord</span> when you're dead? I'm under the impression that only other dead players get your messages and that all dead players hear voicecom from dead players, is this right?

Nemesis_Zero · May 2005

As far as I'm aware, yes, it is.

Drummer · May 2005

um, i dont think this is right. when a marine is hiding in a vent at the end of the game, he can talk to the dead people and they can talk to him

There is nothing like death in NS, just...downtime. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Mr_Charisma · May 2005

Never noticed it. I've openly talked to the opposing team with "say" during endgames.

keep_it_Gangsta · May 2005

erm no.

People can talk to each other wether they are dead or not.

Unless every single NS server Ive ever been on ever has a plugin that changes the default.

TheJim · May 2005

In ns you can talk to both dead and alive ppl wether it be mic or txt.

DarkFrost · May 2005

Why would it be any other way?

Interesting how one's perception is shaped by one's expectations. I play this game for longer than anyone here, and never noticed...

Router_Box · May 2005

Anyone on your team can hear you talk when you are dead. Anyone can hear anyone else at any time if sv_alltalk is set to 1.

Abix · May 2005

Another small thing that I dont think many people noticed was the fact that voicecomm messages now get sent during the countdown beeps that start the game. Believe it or not, but pre-b6, all that spaming you did on your mic about whos the comm, whos going where, whos doing what, etc, was never heard by anyone.

Bug fix ftw <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' />

If this is a bug, don't fix it. Hiding as a marine is a lot funnier if you can hear your dead teammates all cheering you on.

I do use Ventrilo. For clanning. Which I do, every single night.

What Im talking about is general pubbage pre-b6. Last time I checked, every pub NS server didnt have a Ventrilo server to go along with it, and even if it did, it doesnt automagically separate Aliens/Marines, nor does it automagically forcefully connect and setup the Ventrilo client so that it can even work in the first place.

SoulSkorpion · June 2005

Haha. I only just remembered about this post and dug it up again; funny how no consensus was actually reached in the end.

Let's try this again, then: does it depend on server settings, if so which?

DeviantAngel · June 2005

no... death has no effect on who can/can't hear you.

Golden · June 2005

Your team can hear you no matter what with +voicerecord or say_team. Everyone can hear you at any time when you use say unless you're in spectator or the ready room.

Cereal_KillR · June 2005

Wow it's funny because I'm pretty sure being dead or alive doesn't matter, yet sometimes I have the impression that while dead I can't talk to the living.

typical_skeleton · June 2005

This is as it should be (the way it is).

NS doesn't need odd restrictions on communications. I really think having the dead talking helps the game a lot. Considering they'd only have to wait, what, ten seconds to say what they would have said while dead anyway...

It'd quickly become a nuisance, and wouildn't help the game. IMO
