Well, I looked at this the other night. I got the necessary code to compile, but it doesn't seem to be able to link with Mumble. The error reported indicates that Quake is unable to open the virtual file that the Mumble link plugin creates. I'm guessing that for some reason the virtual file is never getting created by Mumble.

I'll probably get around to posting a message to the Mumble forum about it one of these days.

Very nice, Arma! You have my support!

Good. That means I won't have to :D

It'll be fun to try out.

I don't remember -- Is it purely directional or is there also fall-off? I don't know if it would be a good thing if you have to be close to hear each other.

I'm working on adding Mumble (http://mumble.sourceforge.net) support to Quake. Mumble is a voice chat client that supports direction changing depending on where in the game the speaker is. So, if, for example, Gunter is talking over Mumble, and at the same time in Quake he's fighting some monster on your left-hand side, he will sound as if he's talking from the left-hand side.

If I succeed, I'll have added it to ProQuake (probably the last official release and the latest unofficial release), and, depending on whether or not the damn things will compile, maybe other engines if people whine enough (and it actually works and I can reasonably trust it to not make your computer explode -- no guarantees).

Actually, it looks like it'll only be like 10-15 lines of code, so if I submit the patch information, most engine authors should be able to implement it without too much effort.

Did you guys ever try this?

I had to get a headset for work, so I'm all set.

Well you are kind of an unreliable person all together, but I suppose we could take your word for it this time.

Well, that guest who is Gunter said he used it quite a bit. Would Gunter use it quite a bit if it wasn't reliable?

Dunno. But we can try it.

Small yes, but is it reliable?

I vote for Picophone, because... it's small?

We laugh at you all the time anyway... You just can't hear it.

There is Picophone (56.5k in size), which I've used quite a bit,
and one I found more recently which I haven't used much (but it has more features), Voiperized (388k).

Neither of these require an account or a server -- they connect directly to each other by IP address.

Could have somebody put up a TeamSpeak server for FvF.
