Talk to your team only!

[ZERO]

You now have the ability to talk only to your team even when all talk is on!


You need to enter these commands into your user.cfg file or one line at a time in console.


To have a button that is used only for team chat for example: F to only send voice to your team.

alias +teamonly "voicetoggle;+voicerecord"
alias -teamonly "voicetoggle;-voicerecord"
bind f +teamonlyAlternatively, you can bind a key to be a toggle, then push the normal voice key to talk.

bind f voicetoggle

Or just say !voicetoggle in chat

Code has been updated

Updated in that I rewrote all of it from scratch.

Wow. Thanks so much for that Zero. I literally asked for that last night and it's already implemented. This is the perfect harmony for people who want to have the ability to be tactical without completely eliminating alltalk.

As for it's functionality, here's what I found so far:

Binding it to a key makes it perform the best. !voicetoggle in chat seems to turn it on and immediately back off again.

For anyone having trouble, I bound it by typing this in console:

bind mouse5 "voicetoggle"

If you prefer a different key, type that in place of mouse5.

This will result in that key switching you between teamchat only and alltalk.

I have noticed that there may be a few bugs, as the key does not ALWAYS seem to toggle it on, especially in the first few seconds of the round. I'm gonna test the other way where you have a dedicated key for team and one for alltalk and see if that way works better.

Thanks!

[ZERO]

That is becuase at round start it reset everyone to have it turned off so that they are on the same slate. However I could try to change that to round end if you guys wanted that instead.

[ZERO]

Also the say command is probably broken b/c it id done a cheep way via mani. I will add support directly into the mod when I have time.

[WeApOn]

No problem. Take a look when you get a chance. It's working most of the time anyway. It's awesome to finally have a feature like this.

[ricochet]

Zero,

I like this functionality.

A few points, if I may.

The toggle doesn't work every time I hit the button. I'm using the button bind method for "voicetoggle". I just experienced a situation where it didn't work.We were on pistol round.

Also, the MAIN reason I shut off all talk before was to stop the dead players from being heard by the live players.

I really wish this new voice toggle shut off the dead players talking with the live players. It's VERY VERY disruptive when you are the last man standing and you have to listen to the bantering back and forth!

[WeApOn]

/agree with Rico on all points

The bind method works intermittently. I can't draw any common reasons why it works when it does and when it doesn't.

I also agree about the dead people talking. On the pub yesterday alot of people were asking them to be quiet when there were a few people left. Not sure if it's possible, but if there's anyway to make the dead a separate chat channel, that would be ideal.

Either way, the new functionality is much better than what we previously had.

[ricochet]

I'd agree that it is better than what we had before if I still had control over alltalk. right now, it's not better but definitely a move in the right direction and ultimately, if dead can't talk to live then it's better!

[ZERO]

It could be that it requires you to be alive and thus it is not allowing you to use it until the function that recognizes you as alive works. I can try to use a better function that will be more accurate.

As for your issue with dead talk I can make it so that the dead can only be heard by the dead if that is what you all want. (This could be expanded to spectators but I recommend against it for admin reasons)

[ricochet]

I can't mute people now using admin ma_mute....

[ZERO]

OK it now works with the following rules:

1) If your in spec, you can hear everyone and everyone can hear you
2) If your dead only the dead can hear you but you can hear everyone
3) If your in team chat only your team can hear you
4) You default to all talk at the start of every round

[wack0]

sweet thanks!

[ricochet]

Zero,

The new voicetoggle pluggin wasn't working yesterday.

I have one additional suggestion.

I would primarily shut off alltalk before because I was sick and tired of hearing people talk constantly while I was playing. This new pluggin removes my alltalk "off" capability but doesn't provide for a way for me to NOT HEAR people who don't use the team voice option. I am forced to go to my player list and individually mute each one.

I'd like to see the following functionality implemented.

When you opt in for Team Chat, you can only talk to AND hear ONLY your team!

What say you?

[ZERO]

What if I simply added an advanced mute ability that allows you to just select a player from a list to keep muted for the rest of the map?

[ZERO]

I wanted to note that I do know that this plugin breaks sometimes and I am working with the SM developers to find a solution.

my pleas for having the capability to turn off all-talk is not to simply mute a player. I can still do that with the ma_mute command. I want it because I HATE HATE HATE it when I am last on a team and trying to hear the other players to frag them and some shmuck thinks it's ok to start blabbing like the server voice chat is thier personal vent channel.

That's when I used to mash the button I had bound to turn off all-talk.

I think this solution lies within the fix for the overall problem. When the plugin is working properly, and you are the only person alive on your team, I am almost certain that you cannot hear anyone else at all. Unless the other players on the alive team had "all talk" set to on.

The only way around that one is to allow some sort of admin command that would make that alltalk option not work, and only the team chat work. I would imagine that would be implemented if the server forces all clients to the team chat only mode.

[ZERO]

I am working on an update for tomorrow along with a beta patch for SM. This will make it so the plug in works correctly. As stated previously I am making it so that the living can not hear the dead which should solve the problem noted above.

[ZERO]

New version is out! Hopefully there will be no problems this time and then I can expand the mod to include mute and other features in the future.

[elpolloloco]

Is the user.cfg file in the

team\steamapps\brainumbc\counter-strike source

folder?

If the file isn't there, I should just be able to create it (with the correct extension) in notepad, right?

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------

There's really no way to tell for sure if it's working or not unless you get someone you trust on the opposing team to let you know if he/she can hear you or not, correct?

[elpolloloco]

Oh Lawdie lawdie it works!

[ricochet]

I'd like to officially declare that this little feature should be declared an unmitigated failure. The fact that an admin and clan member has NO WAY to turn OFF the other teams chats makes this an absolute failure.

Please give back the powers to turn all talk off!

[ZERO]

Why would you need to be able to turn off all talk when you have team talk?

Also post update mute now works.

[Steamer]

I have in game voice disabled from options in certain situations. This code is negating it and I can't turn off voice completely. Do not like this.

[Passarelli]

Zero, this is awesome! Any chance to get this onto the WCS server when you have it working (nearly) flawlessly?

[acolyte_to_jippity]

Zero, this is awesome! Any chance to get this onto the WCS server when you have it working (nearly) flawlessly?

dear god no. please don't put this in wcs. the place is already being held together by more than a little duct tape, and what i can only imagine is some strange, scary amalgamation of python and PHP.

[Passarelli]

Ah, that is true enough. I guess it all depends on how hard its implementation would be while keeping stress off the server. I just hate hearing peeps mindless chatter when I'm the last guy alive, especially fighting birds. ^_^

[ricochet]

I was reminded last Friday how BAD this is.

I want to be able to turn all-talk off because I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE OTHER TEAM's VOICE when I am in team speak mode. If that change can be implemented then awesome! If not, then please let us turn all-talk off if we choose.

Please make this change...

[Cheese]

Yeah, that feature is terrible for the PUB. Definitely cannot make or execute precision movements with everyone hearing. :smirk:

All-talk can be annoying, but if it's only a few people who are really doing all the yapping, then you can just go to the main menu, click Player List, find their name, click it, then click the mute button.

lol Cheese asked that 2 years ago but its all good.

Sorry, didn't mean to necro. Still getting used to the format of this forum.

Yea ppl get confused with talking in Pub. Like once your dead the ppl alive cant hear ya but dead ppl can hear everything.
