<div class="IPBDescription">Is this possible?</div> Is it possible to have more then one channel for voice chat?

Think about it. We all know how annoying it is for a comm to relay orders or for anyone else to relay important info when there are 8 people trying to talk at once. No body can under stand anything.
I think it would be helpful to have an open chat that lets you talk to the whole team and a smaller one that lets you talk to near by team mates. That way if say, you and 2 others are guarding some remote but important area of the map you can say stuff to each other with out overtoning someone else in the main base or something. 2 separate keys. Or just create a voice channel by clicking on peoples names in the score board I dont know.
Is it possible to make a plug in or something?

Kind of like a squad net and and open net. This would be helpful in 1.1 when the commander can put you in squads.


In current games unless Im explaining something to a new player I try to keep voice chats informative, quick and brief so that the info gets sent fast and thus better keeping the com channel clear.

    Sorry dude isnt this for Suggestions and Ideas forum rather than general.

    But anyway i think this would be useful altho a bit fiddly when seconds count in this game. It would be helpful in squads for sure perhaps some sort of system on the score board where u hit one tab to talk to everyone, another for ur current squad and then u click on individuals to talk to them specifically.

    Id put this in there if I knew if it could even be done.


    And also my second half of my post was to go on about how people should use the voice chat instead of all talking at once. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    As of currently no. I'm not sure about the future though. I would think making any more channels under DirectSound would add lag to the game. It would be nice though

    alternatives would be roger wilco, and the underdog, <a href='http://www.ventrilo.com/' target='_blank'>ventrilo</a>
