Updated Mumble Features?

[Smegburt_funkledink]

Last time these ideas were thrown about, it was possibly before there were Mumble Devs officially part of the PR team. It was certainly still when we were using 'force centre' and didn't have any Mumble automation. So I know these may be resuggestions from very old topics and may not even be possible (I was told years ago they might not be) but it's been a while since then.

----------------------------

Suggestion 1 - Any player using radio buttons (Squad chat SM > SM, SL > SL, Sl > CO etc...) also transmits their voice locally.

Reason - It makes sense. It informs close by squad members that their SL is actually using their radio.

Pros - Squad members nearby can hear if their SL is talking on their radio. Nearby members of other squads will hear relevant chatter if they're near by. (Some people may see this as a con, maybe?)

Cons - More local chatter than before.

----------------------------

Suggestion 2 - Any SL > SL radio comms also go direct to CO. Any SL > All Squads also go direct to CO.

Reason - CO should be in control of comms and also be aware of what is going on.

Pros - Pub games have more of a 'radio guy' kind of CO rather than an order giving CO in more organised/ tournament games. This will give the CO any info they're not already aware of and may help prevent overlapping information going in and out all the time. SL's may get less radio spam (All squad radio contact reports) (Co really should be the one dealing with the radio spam and deciding where else that info might need to go)

Cons - CO will get much more chatter (I actually see this as a pro but some may not)

----------------------------

I did have more ideas but I'll leave this here for discussion first.

[Jagira]

I like it

[sweedensniiperr]

Definitely YES on #1.

#2, not so sure. Do you mean only the allsquad radio, or do is the specific squad radio also included?(1-3 etc) If only the first I could go behind it.

[Nightingale]

I am not entirely sure I understand your description of suggestion #2, but #1 is a fantastic idea!

[PatrickLA_CA]

He means that the commander should be able to hear if SQL1 is taking to SQL2 and also if SQL1 is talking to all SQLs.

I agree with both by the way.

[Jamaican]

Agree with #1 , saves telling sqd members to quiet comms

[Arduras]

I'm definitely for #1. #2 as well if it only applies to "all squad chat."

[Pronck]

Number 1 is both good for immersion as good for the squad itself. It will know when the SL is having a talk with other squadleaders and there will be less of those moments "squadleader are you afk?" moments and such.

[SIDEKILL3R]

My suggestion is that the return of local chat being heard by both teams but at a lower vol.

I actually agree with this - local chat is supposed to represent people speaking, the only
reason I could see this not being implemented, is every war in this game the opposite sides
typically speak totally different languages. Not having the local chat broadcasted could
simulate that. The downside is nobody wants to use the commo-rose because it makes
audible noise to those nearby (including enemy) which often means seeking out some
mumble voice (out of several all screaming/whining at once) to revive them.

People constantly yelling ammo or medic or whatever in mumble when they could
easily Q-com what they wanted and they'd be marked on the map for those capable.
I wouldn't mind seeing the return of at least squad nameplates within like 50m to
facilitate use of the Q-Com for ammo and stuff from nearby team-mates.

If both Teams hear local no one will use it anymore. No more joking with strangers or ur Buddys without spamming side.

[Frontliner]

pls no.

[IMI-GALIL.223]

My only suggestion is to add an in-game mute feature (If that's even possible). I just can't take the immaturity sometimes, and I hate alt+tabbing out.

[Mineral]

You can make shortcuts for that

[IMI-GALIL.223]

You can make shortcuts for that

To mute specific players? Do tell...

This. That's why common local can't be implemented. Period... imho.

[Iceman11]

We would all like that.

[Mineral]

We would all like that.

I wouldn't.

Maps are too small for it usually. It would make people stop using local.

You can have a mute-all button, but think about it, how on earth would you have a hot-key to block specific players, it's pretty much impossible

Press button, say name of player, player gets muted.
A mute interface for ingame wont be happening, it is just too much work. If someone is really spamming let the admins deal with it. Also Spooks AHK script for adjusting volumes helps a lot.
