Mumble distance limit needs to be changed.

Post by Qaiex »

Yesterday I was playing as the chinese on Operation Barracuda, and from the mountain in the middle of the map we could hear the US team on the carrier telling the heli pilot where they wanted to be dropped off.

The settings are all correct, maximum 70m minimum 1m and all of that stuff, just like in the mumble thread.


This isn't uncommon, the positional audio works as far as direction goes, but distance is never accurate.
Something has to be changed. Maybe go on and experiment with it, go 70 metres from a marker and just keep lowering the setting until peopel further away than that can't be heard or something, idk.
But at the moment mumble is useful when you're talking to other friendlies, but when enemies use it you just feel schizophrenic, hearing voices in your head but when you turn around nothing's there.

you need to set minimum volume to 0% otherwise you'll hear EVERYTHING but very very quiet

Please confirm you are using mumble .04 PR beta

Though I would actualyl be happy with the mumble distance being decreased to 40-50m since it cuts down on the sensory input a bit, and anyhting beyond 50m isn't gonna work teamwork wise anyway using push to talk.

do you have the latest mumble version ? I mean, not the normal mumble, but the PR one.
[R-DEV]OkitaMakoto:"Cheers, you're the man, Okita"
[R-DEV]Rhino:"I in fact got kicked from a server for tking."
Hitperson:"well done, treasure it forever."
[R-DEV]Adriaan:"Damned classy Roma, if I may say so."
[R-DEV]Chuc:"Pro man, pro."
(yes, it was about me)
[R-MOD]BloodBane611:"Romagnolo, you definitely deserve a LOL award for that."

Here is your problem. Minimum has to be 0% otherwise you will hear everyone quietly. I also recommend you to download the pr version.

Indeed it is, but if you set it up properly it's not an issue.

I did set it up properly, got all the links and settings from the mumble thread like a month ago or something, but apparently it's updated now and I downloaded the PR version instead.

And this thread is here because this is where I post things.
I don't think it's a coding problem as much as something that can be fixed by some intuitive settings tweaking. And if so, it applies solely to PR.

it is best to have mumble standardised, please report back on if the PR mumble worked for you as we expect it will.

It will all be much easier soon when the 0.5 beta is out (its ready we just need to set it up on the servers). Then you will not be able to use any other version of mumble than the PR one.

Please bear in mind as well though that if you start mumble up AFTER you are in game , then you will not link to the game and will not derive positional information. At the moment you will be an irritation to everyone in game as they will hear you everywhere on the map, however in a future version I am going to make it so that anyone not giving positional information will be automatically muted and deafened on the server.

minimum set to 15%


This, my friend, is your problem. You MUST have it on 0% minimum volume otherwise, as other people in this thread have said you will hear everyone on the map.

Of course, I assume that you've got the PR version and hence everything is hardcoded/blanked out, preventing this little ordeal from happening again.

So are you guys saying that the 1.1.8 is not the version we should have but instead we should have the beta version?

I also hear people from far distances and in a very low voice. Im trying to get my clan on the boat with this and so far it has not proven very useful due to this being that their settings are the same as mine.

I think ur version doesn't have minimum volume or you haven't set it up right

set ur minimum volume to 0%

OR

just download teh PR beta .4 version and it has all those settings already done for you.
