Planeshift & TeamSpeak?

[backeroo]

While browsing around, i\'ve found this Thread in the Fragnetics Forums :

http://www.fragnetics.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6101&sid=a395b4a86224af46a42e15637286c4a3

about Fragnetics ( the PS Server Sponsor), launching a TemSpeak Server.

Could this be interesting also for PS?

BTW: There is a Beta Version of an unoffical TeamSpeex Client for MAC,
see : http://www.savvy.nl/blog/download/

Unoffical, but accepted by the offical TeamSpeak

now that is a cool idea ..
i always thought about voice-comm in ps, but i never got to the idea of using an external tool like in other games XD

No, how would you like to hear a little 8 year olds voice comming from a Krans body? I like teamspeak for shooting games but I would shoot the person who thinks its a good idea in a role playing game.

for this role playing game it would be inappropriate... and almost spooky hearing females speaking as males and vice-versa

I found this thing interesting, as keyboardchat sometimes get\'s people to use some fancy abbreviations which can be quite annoying after a while.

Yes it is annoying, and thus is avoided by us ingame..

But never-the-less such sound ideas are also memory chompers... and some would miss out on the gaming.

if this is you concerne, there is enough SW which could turn you(\'re voice) from a man into a woman ( and vice versa ) or change it to whatever you want, in (almost) realtime.

But i have to admint, there is a point.

GREAT IDEA! This can even be used for a singing skill!

Noob talking into mic: sup g-unit *plays eminem into his mic*

...This idea sucks.

With the lack of filters I could see \"hey nice boobs hot stuff\" or \"f**k you b****h\" being blurted out into the game. not funny.

I think if it was set up so you can only hear those you choose to hear, and the rest go by regular chatting, I don\'t see why it wouldn\'t work.  Sometimes (when multitasking) it would be much easier to talk to someone, and also when you try to explain something to them.  

Of course, you wouldn\'t want to be able to hear everything everyone says, only those you choose to.  Don\'t have a headset, people can still just text you.  I see no reason why they couldn\'t incorporate it, but I also don\'t see a really good reason for them to do it either.  It really has no advantage or disadvantage IMO.

another problem which came into my mind is the amount of players.
when all players would be in one channel, you wouldn\'t be able to do anything usefull. in-game voice-comm could use the distance to change the loudness.
perhaps someone with too much time left could make a hooking-thingy to combine ps and ts

[Jekkar]

What about a channel for every guild?

[hook]

I\'ll just say my mind in two simple sentances:

1) NO!!

and

2) use search

Seriously if you heard a child?s voice that hasn\'t even broken yet would you really take him seriously? Let me put it this way, its Planeshift, not ?Hey why don\'t we totally throw you out of the setting by introducing little kid voices and we are also going to add shotguns because its \'cool\'.?

No chatspeak, that would be creepy. However, Voice to Text would be nice for those of us with less then par typing skills.

Like Hook said, though, don\'t hold your breath.  

[derwoodly]

Voice to text is a good idea.  
(wories about his low frame rate dropping even lower.)
