Mumble VOIP and PR (ongoing development)

Mute languages you can't understand? Mute? Like the software filtering it out for you?

Is it possible to have 2 "layers" if you will to the function? A speech AND a radio one? Depends on how much you can play with the program of course, but it would be cool to have the tinny distorted sounds of incoming radio (along with the functionality of being able to communicate with commander and other squads obviously) as well as real time, everyone can hear me, voice communication. Or would the plan be just to use VOIP to commander or for this function?

Or is using TS and Mumble simultaneously a viable option? Would that cause unbearable lag?

My French is rusty, my Norwegian is abysmal I can't understand German and can just about get a hotel room in Spanish. so hearing people rambling on in other languages would be pointless, so to have the muted automatically would be nice.

Me and those I test with have it setup so that,
*mumble for close range coms inbetween individuals, that be regular infantry and squad leaders, infantry to apc drivers for transports/contact reports etc.
*Ingame voip for radio comms within the squad, when you have split up into fireteams/buddyteams etc.
*Ventrilo for radio coms between squad leaders, tank drivers etc.

You could also set it up so that you have the same alternative push to talk key in mumble as your radio ingame voip button in PR. So that everyone around you can hear you radio in stuff to your squad if they are close enough. Just as in real life.

Of course that doesn't work.........

Yeah. Because you *want* to hear some kid's mum shout "ERNEST! IT'S TIME FOR BED!" or whatever.

It'd mean a right pain in the arse if the phone went whilst playing, too - alt-tab out to mute the mic or whatever, to ensure that every player within a 20m radius doesn't hear me telling my bank that I don't need another credit card or my ex that she's a PITA... No thanks, PTT works quite nicely for me.

Unless you invent the best voice recognition algorithms ever made until now, I doubt you'll ever see that exist. They already have a hard time identifying what you're saying in one language, and you want them to mute different languages? See you in 2070, even then I doubt we'll have something THAT accurate.
And TBH, that's just completely useless... Why would it matter so much if somebody speaks in X language near you? Does it make you sneeze? Are you allergic?

PS : I can see the motivations behind the filtering, I find them very innapropriate IMO.

[Engineer]

First things first... Can we actually make it work with PR flawlessly?
*Insert Obama'ish comment here*

I mean, these 'filter all the french' and 'capture your neighbors speech' -suggestions are entertaining and such, but I'd rather see it working as part of PR first

Err, I know that, but the other guy doesn't, lol, or he's fooling around .
