Questions About VON and More

[Bluedrake42]

I'm gonna cut to the chase

1. We all know PR:ArmA2 is planning on making it's own version of a realistic radio system like ACRE. My question is: if this system is released, will you be able to remove VON from PR:ArmA2? As it stands servers that use ACRE have to constantly enforce players not using VON from communicating with other team members. Also, will this system be a TS3 plugin? Or will it work within ArmA2?

2. ArmA2 has a terrible weapon management system, where cycling through firing rates also cycles through grenades and other devices. The ACE mod handles this with a system that allows you to switch between cycling your weapon, and cycling grenades, which in its own right is very nice. ACE although has a separate key commands menu that requires a separate program "ACE clippy" in order to edit. Will PR be able to offer similar features without requiring any separate program to make edits? (I saw the PR key commands as an extension in the normal ArmA2 custom key settings, will this be able to handle it?)

why would we be using a different voice communication system than the one built in?

In bf2pr, it was necessary to have mumble, because of the lack of chat channels.

in arma 2 pr there are more than enough channels, and you wont need 3rd party shit to talk.

but it would be nice wouldnt it? seeing as default arma2 VON sucks crap. especially the direct chat. and dont get me started on the varying quality in diff servers, ranging from the worst crap you ever heard, to pretty darn decent.
but i still hate default chat.

Derp... Some servers lower this to save bandwidth, it eats up alot from personal experience so I usually leave it at 4 or 5.

Have you ever played with ACRE??? Cause than you would know why using a different voice communication with all the effects ACRE has for "realistic" communication would be necessary.

-Effects like distortion from buildings/mountains/Hills.
-Realistic radio frequences.
-Ability to steel a radio from the enemy and listen to them talking.
-And alot more i dont even know.

And thats why we need a 3th party communication app. I hope myself it will be TS3. The VON in arma sucks balls in my opinion compared to ACRE combined with TS3. And it sounds like your talking inside a empty can.

VON in Arma sucks.

In-game VON can be disabled.

Disabling in-game text chat is a bit trickier, not sure if possible.

Servers can always just host their TS3 servers with channels, but of course something like ACRE is cooler and more realistic.

Good that's what I wanted to hear
I'm not entirely sure how chat will be managed though
I'm not sure if we would want it to be disabled entirely

No you dident, otherwise you would not blame the server admins for balancing bandwidth to quality and bashing VON because of this. If you don't like a servers von quality don't play on their server. Simple, just like mods... if you dont like it dont play on the server and stop whining!
