A simple prog for tasks like
/shout for example...instead of typing in /shout you could push number 1 or something...like /tell number 2 .... just things for making it a littler quicker to do things.. i was also thinking about making a map...but i was wonderng if there was a way to get a top view it the city...just something like that...would u dev\'s support it??? or would u get Pi**ed ???
-
It should be simple enough to modify the client to do this. It is, after all, open source.
-
Being open source doesn\'t mean you\'re allowed to edit it, and still play on the server(s).
-
be nice if somone made a program that ran alongside PS that aloud voice support so that those who wanted to use it in PS could and those who wanted to stear clear of voices could also, and the voice communication had the same fuctions as the text one a normal talk could only be heard by surrounding players but if you held down say Y you could yell across a larger distance
-
Use teamspeak or something. We could get someone to host a server. That would work currently for everything execpt for the long/close rang stuff. But hey, we dont really need long range yet, do we?
-
yeah..but voice in the game would make it alot Laggier than it already is
-
but i was thinking aout making a vb app (As soon as i get 6 ) im going to start on it..... if anyone else has any idea about what i should do or suggestions for things to add... post em so i get sum ideas :D
-
Well, supposedly the lagg is because of your computer. How about an automatic \"Who is online\" thing, and then you could (by alt-tabbing or something) click on the name of the person, and add them to your buddie list, or invite them into your clan.
-
you could run ps in a window and use netmeeting to communicate...;)
-
I personaly think anything is welcome if it helped the community...
So, if your program is useful, with no lag and such, it should be ok I suppose.
-
Teamspeak uses a 5,1 KB/s - 16,8 KB/s codec to talk... So, think of 100 people, all being on one server, how much load it would put on that server. just 5,1 KB/s having to be transmitted to 100 people is 5,1 * 100 .. That\'s still 510 KB/s that server would have to have in upload.. Or if two people happen to talk on the same time... Not a good idea. It can be used to talk to friends, or if you play CS, but don\'t expect a MMORPG to have voice communication.
-
well the people online thing might or might not be hard.... maybe...ill setup and host an ftp for it.... hmmnaybe a transparent window pinned to the top...i dont know about adding it to the game.... but the voice talk..... maybe the only way that would work is if it was a whole different thing... such net meeting (thank you Kundalf) but that would be a little aukward..... maybe something like a yahoo chat runing in the backround... i dunno post somemore. :)
-
I have said before I would like to add voice chat for both combat groups and tells eventually. Not sure what year though. :-)
- V
-
Woo hoo! Heck, if I know its comin, I can wait. That\'ll make guild chat a little more easier etc. 8)
Woo hoo!
-
Perhaps if a peer-to-peer voice chat system were implemented this would alleviate the load on the server and still give you the voice system you need. Since voice is non-essential to the game itself, non-essential features such as these could possibly be delivered via peer to peer so your voice won\'t lag if you were geographically close to your pal.
-
but for this talk stuff to work, wouldn\'t people have to download your edited version of ps and the client? and also people with the normal version of ps wouldn\'t be able to hear anything.
Personaly this thing to me seems like it\'ll just end up like a online gaming walkie talky, and not to burst dudes bubble but thats already been done and i\'m sure, with some search, someone might even find a free piece of software that does just this.
-
Well, if you want to add your special feature to Planeshift and make it available to everybody, just code it, and submit it to our coding team: it will be merged in our CVS repository if valid and working. This is how Planeshift, being an open project, is progressing.

you could also dowload the edted version of PS you couldn\'t talk but you could listen in + headsets don\'t cost much about $20 aus thats say $10-12american is pretty cheap so it wouldn\'t be hard to get one +
it will also make boys want to play boys i can not satnd it when i meat somone using a girl model and they are a boy themselves its ok in a RPG but personally i don\'t like it when they do it in a MMORPG

Well boonet what lang would it have to be in to be added into the game??? cause i was thinking of making a visual basic app that ran in the backround with hot keys...but to be in game...would it have to be c++ ??
-
humm also maybe a guild chat window??? like a reg cgat window but only for guild talk??
-
I wouldnt mind that....
-
yeah but i first need to know what lang it has to be in... i knwo the game is in c and c++ but i need to know if i can make something in vb.. if not and it has to be in c..ill just make my dad code it :D
-
Peeeevs: Yes, it would have to be C++ to be incorporated into the game. About your idea though, wouldn\'t you have to get it to talk to the server? That\'d be a pretty big project...
