Communicating

(SCi-Fi) #1

I love for there to be a voice communication like tribes had, as that was cool!!

I believe we had threads on stuff like this - be it not really Tribes oriented. :expressionless:

oh sorry here is me trying to give some feed on
how this game could be made better…

The voice commands on Tribes was very good better by far than most
multiplayers even todays games. This game allowed ppl to communicate
with team members without ts or any speaking tools and it had actions
too abt every concept of the game ie…attacking, defending, incoming
enemy, what ppl were doin, objectives that was fulfilled and so on, so
dont come me with this aint tribes thing.

Im opening a door to an idea that i feel is very useful but maybe too
advanced for this game as it might require ppl to learn and press a few
more buttons!!

I haven’t used the communication system for Tribes or Quake Wars so I’m at a loss here. Can you describe the system in a bit more detail and maybe list a few pros and cons?

Maybe its like BF2 comms?

(M8DNanite) #6

Looking at the public gameplay vids, it seems to be like commorose bf2 style but with keyboard shortcuts, as every command seems to have (letter) like “Attack (A)”. So hopefully also can be binded. In bf2 you can only bind Yes and No.

oh we talking about vsay’s? thought u was talking about actual voice comms like vent/teamspeak built in?

Here this might help you on what we talked about awhile back. http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15825

Here is a more in depth meaning to what i meant…

you would select “v” to start Then you would get the following Rootmenu
with letters corresponding to what you wanted to say to your team.

	[u][b]Rootmenu[/b][/u]
	V Offense 
	T Target
	D Defense 
	F Flag (as its a ctf game)
	R Need
	E Team
	G Global
	Z Command Response

Then every letter would open up into different objectives or warnings and
so on, with corresponding sounds, if cease fire you would hear cease fire
and so on… You had a sound pack file with them the wav files in as other
tribes made their own up. My tribe had a Monty Python theme with it,
with all sounds from all the films and tv series, but you needed the pack
to hear the sounds…
With all the keys being so close together a simple vva would tell your
team to Attack! and they would hear a voice saying that, better than
words on screen!!

Sounds just like the W:ET menu. Tried it? If not, do so and tell us what must be changed. Otherwise you are just clueless if you aren’t asking for something that’s in already.

Other options include buying my license or downloading a W:ET key generator for Windows. :wink:
