Is there a way to create a private channel?
I was messin around with it but when I try to use it in game it says no active channel selected.

Create Active Channel? VOIP

Nope as far as I know there are only three channels public team and local.
Local channel is kinda like a private channel cause only those within a certain distance are supposed to hear you. But I have heard rummors that it is unreliable, althought I have never had any problems with the local channel myself.

I figured it out
just use your player name as channel name, set password and give it to your buds.
This looks like it will work but havent had a chance to get a friend in game to try yet.
When I push talk however it shows this and not the "no active channel" message.
UPDATE:
tried this out with a bud still dont work

Nobody knows how to do this ( if ya can )
you can use your player name in default channel box and set a password to it
but how do others join that channel?
It would be great if ya could get all your friends on one channel to talk without everyone else listening in.
According to the balloon message it says " password for private chat room " ?

Your best bet for something like private chat is really to go with teamspeak or ventrillo. The quality is usually a lot better since it's running on a different machine than the gameserver, which is already using much of its resources on the more taxing needs of the game.
Many of the public servers offer teamspeak/vent servers with such channels
-- check with your favorite servers' websites.

I wish I could get a DEV to respond to this
The Password and Active channel fields must be for something
but the manual doesnt say exactly what.
PS: in server config it also has a field for allowing cross team PRIVATE CHAT

Are these features, perhaps, part of the UE2.5 engine?
Would there be any useful information in the manuals for that (maybe TW didn't want to bother with this feature and left that info out)?

In the manual under Voice Chat it says:
Default Channel Name : Enter the name of the default channel you would like to use when you join a game
Chat Password : Assign a password to your channel
thats it, unless they are talking about the irc chat on selection screen but that appears to be text only.

Well I don't know but I believe that if you call your channel "danglingdave" and then give it a password of "your choice", then tell your mates the channel name & password, you should be able to chat till your hearts content, in private, as it were !
I might be wrong tho !

why are we all arguing about this, it's a bug/ and once again the devs have ignored it, just to give us a nother stoopid gun..... gonna go game browsing. this stuff is finished. the tanks were groundbreaking [now they're sinking, ] people won't buy this game after i finished telling them about the bugs......

Just to interject, Local VOIP is unreliable at this time, I've tested it on different servers with different people and at times it seems to work, others not.
So you cannot rely on Local. TeamSpeak or Ventrilo is probably your best bet. And you can (in TS anyway) use high-quality sound so that it sounds just as good if not better than the built-in VOIP in RO.
