Voice Server for Multiplayer

Post by Stephan_Berlin » Fri Jan 04, 2019 1:21 pm

It would be perfect if we could talk while multiplayer flying. Discord is a good solution for solving it outside of Condor 2 - but could you propably implement it using an API of Condor 2?

Discord is able to put a Microphone trigger on a Joystick Button so it is identical as using a Radio. The only problem is to arrange a "Discord Channel" and to inform about the "invitation link". So if it would be possible to put the invitation link into the "Server properties" everybody could see it and link in to the Discord channel parallel to the Condor Join.

Best regards,
Stephan

But we can and we do :)

Install TeamSpeak and join this server:

And feel free to map the speak button to your joystick.

Discord is collecting your data... and isn't open about it. Avoid...

I agree Stephan! An ingame Voice Chat would be very nice. Like you can really talk on a few frequencys. It is very popular in all kind of modern Games. Maybe a wish for the future, but not really urgent as we can use Teamspeak for now :)

Sure it would be nice, but if you integrate it in the game, people are going to start requesting all the bells and whistles that teamspeak now provides; voice activation and level adjustments , shortcut keys for muting mic or sound, whisper channels, display overlays,.. and in the end you have little that you dont have now using teamspeak, but uros will have spent a lot of time not making all the other things on the never ending wishlist.. :)

.. not to forget that we see no point in reinventing the wheel.

And we already have a big list of improvements waiting to put into Condor :D

Condor development is a case of resource management.. what are the most beneficial things to add within the resources we have.
