Improvements needed on KF VOIP

[omarfw]

Well it would be easy to hear them with a desk mic is they actually had no other sound source near it. People will sit multiple feet away from it and it will pick up ambient noise. Besides if you have the volume calibrated for people with headset mics it rarely is loud enough to easily discern people's voice from a desk mic.
I would also disagree with all mics using decent quality. Any cheap bluetooth mic has terrible sound quality (see this all the time when using my PS3 since the system has built in bluetooth).

that's bluetooths fault, not the mics

To increae discussion in this thread, I would like to ask; What would it take to get a better quality codec in this game?

 

[omarfw]

purchase the rights to a better one or use a free one and code it in to replace the current one

Oh god yes. The VOIP is bad, but i think it has been since UT2004. A tweak to get it more clearly would be nice.

Server admins can double the bandwidth, they just have to set it to the higher quality codec. It is a simple ini setting.

[Engine.VoiceChatReplicationInfo]
bEnableVoiceChat=True
bAllowLocalBroadcast=True
MaxChatters=0
LocalBroadcastRange=1000.000000
DefaultBroadcastRadius=20.000000

why not enable that by defult try to reduce the amount of bandwitth the game uses or why not intagrate teamspeak as the voip used in KF by using the teamspeak sdk http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=teamspeak3sdk

 

[DGMurdockIII]

or why not look at using integrating teamspeak in to KF by using the TEamspeak SDK http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=teamspeak3sdk

It is my opinion that the fix, or tweak for this part of the game needs to be made availiable in a patch rather than be a do-it-yourself-every-single-time-server-restarts kind of thing. Push for better quality and better coordination overall!
