Ye with the new 1.2.2 you can and still have SL communications iirc. So keep working on the mumble 1.2.x. But anyway it would be a lot of work switching channels between every squad.

Before this all can be done automatic VOIP is a must in PR.

Turning VOIP off would make it alot harder. But I think it would add a pretty serious feel to the game since you have to regroup the squad. Make up a plan. Time it right. (Maybe give a signal like when you hear the first grenades go off you move in from the west.) But as Rudd said I dont know if it's going to work on public servers. But I say give it a shot and try it out for maybe three days and see how it goes.

I would like to see a test done tho, locked server of course, without mumble. could be a good laugh. would mean ur squad would need to stick VERY close. maybe a community event someone?

Well it wouldn't , because we could do it clientside. Mumble already reads your positional information from in game, and the maker of that plugin , Snares, is working on extracting more information such as server IP, team and squad. It would be quite simple to then send a call to mumble to switch channel, just like the user had done it themselves.

BUT I must add ... this is all at experimental stages at the moment ... and there is a lot of work to do, and we don't yet know how much lag there will be (as it has to be instant really). However if it all pans out, then we will have a very tight integration between mumble and BF2 ... so much so , that I hope the point will come when we can say , switch off the BF2 voip (which is laggy as hell anyway .. good couple of seconds sometimes ... can mean the difference between a live APC and a toasted APC).

Why should it lag? Doesn't these plugins just read the already incoming data-stream from the bf2 server?

Btw:
Could you guys alternate the plugin in this way that it sends default coordinates to mumble when it can't read any positional data from the server?
That would be a great solution to avoid unlinked people talking to all linked people in the channel but the unlinked guys could still talk to each other.

I rather think you misunderstand the entire way Mumble works. All the information is derived client side, there is no information coming from the server. Each person logged into the murmur server contains a packet of information which gives their location in the game ... this is pulled from the client that the player is playing on. The players mumble client then processes this information and derives the positional audio.

I'd like to try VoIP off with one mumble channel, just to experiment some, but I wouldn't force it on others.
