Author Topic: Range Vox needs Options (Read 860 times)

Morpheus · « **Reply #30 on:** August 31, 2004, 05:25:50 PM »

What I really dont get is why we have the option of squelching the "SYSTEM: ***** Landed ** Kills in a *** of ****" Mesage and cant detune range vox.

Ghost... I hate to pick on you and dont think I am but I knew someone was going to bring up the community thing and it just happend to be you. But... You want to talk about losing sight of the "community" thing your talking about. What kind of commeradery can you have if people can detune... or squelch (I think it is channel 6). SYSTEM mesages? But we have it... AND people do disable it...

But since HT did that on his own accord does that make it "OK" in your eyes?

Im gonig to put things as simple as I can here.

I absoluty do not care what is going on around me with other people. I watch other players 6's when I can. I help out when I can. I do not need someone yelling at me telling me I have a 51 ining on me. I dont want to hear VOX what so ever. I think it is my right to have that option without having to completly turn off all my sound. Which I have been doing for the past month or two. I know I am not the only one who feels this way at that. If it were up to me... I'd make it an option to have vox eliminated completely from the game and only be turned on for thoes who want it. But its not up to me so this is the next best thing in my eyes.

You can get rid of most of that stuff Spade by squelching 2. So if you get rid of Ch 200 and 2, you can get rid of most of that gibberish. Also you can change the darkness of the box so it is basicly clear. But unfortunetly what you are left with is the range channel text. That wonderful pink text that is acompanied by voice com... Which you cannot get rid of.

How do you squelch all those "XXX landed XX kills in a XXX" messages?
Is there a channel number you squelch? What is "Channel 2" that was referenced here? Is that the same one?

Morpheus · « **Reply #33 on:** August 31, 2004, 07:25:48 PM »

Channel 2 is Green country Text... And yest it can be squelched.

SYSTEM can be also squelched.. "Landed Kills blah blah blah"

Squelch 6 I beleive.

Well as far as community goes, its not as close as AW was. Something in this game is preventing that, and I cant put my finger on it yet. It may have something to do with how the base targets are setup, or the lack of multicrewing, or maybe folks are just meaner now, and just plain unfriendly.

To be honest, if I want to talk to people I will, and if I dont want to hear them Id rather be able to turn it off. For me RANGE has done more to turn me off against the game/community than it has made me enjoy the game/community.

Ghosth, at what point did I lose you in my posts?

Was it before I stated... "Ghosts I'm not picking on you..." or after?

IMHO Ch1 had more potential for community building than range vox EVER had. And if I remember correctly you were a very strong advocate against it... Altho I could be wrong. It had been a while and there have other more important things to think about in the mean time.

Agian Ghosth... Understand one thing. I was not using you as a point I was using what you said to make my point. And it was hardly directed at you all but for one very small senence at the end of an entirely different post. There is nothing personal there bud.

I apoligize for the confusion. Altho I dont have to. I am. I think you just got insulted??? maybe a little too easy there or jumped the gun anyways. No problem its not the end of my world nor yours.

When I post on this forum I have no intentions of winning Ghosth. Besides what is there to win? What I was simply doing was making a point to others by using what you said. AND Before I did that I made sure I made myself clear in saying you were not the target of my post. Hence "Ghosth I hate to pick on you so dont think I am..."

To pick what I said apart... I knew someone was going to bring the community thing up. I was actually glad it was someone like you who could provide valid argument. So again, I used what you said to make my point towards "other" people who felt/thought the same way.

The fact that you thought that entire post is/was/ever could have been directed soley at you shows me there is still some confusion looming. Maybe you just didnt like your words being used to make a point. Either way it doesnt look like I will get this one across here either so enough is enough. At some point you thought this was a competition. It was at that point where I lost you.

Before this thing gets too far hijacked... Filth said it best and I beleive we should have the option to disable range vox. Not just for the guys who are sick of hearing people talk. But for the people/players who have people (more often that not those people are their children) sitting by them when they are playing and come across a group of guys who just cant stop cussing. With one small command itthey could all be gone, and problem solved.

Edit: I do feel similar to you Ghost in concern to the community. One of the best ways to get to know people was by ch1. Everyone could use it and sooner or later those that didnt like it had the right to turn it off. And they did.

AH2 is getting so big now that the community is more like a small civilization where we all have common intrest and love what we are doing but it has become nearly imposible to know or help everyone. It was for some of your very concerns that I contemplated leaving AH and saying the heck with it. And it was for some of the same "values" that you and I have in common is what kept me in AH for as long as it has.

But Morph, 2 posts after I came around to your point of view is just that, picking on me.

You've Hijacked this enough bro.

You obviously do not get the fact that NOT A SINGLE POST was directed toward you after you "came around" like you say. RATHER, what I said was directed at the concerns you had which others surely would have too. Do you think that just because you made up your mind and "came around" that everyone else with similar concerns would too?

Grow up.

uhhhhh can't you already do this?

you can uncheck all the vox (setup/voice) related boxes while leaving game sounds (setup/game sounds) on.

TDeacon · « **Reply #44 on:** September 04, 2004, 10:09:55 AM »

I have VOX completely off, and all other game sounds on.

In Preferences/Voice, Mic Volume and Play Volume sliders off; Effect Volume slider on.

Although the above solution turns off the annoying voice sounds, it probably still uses precious MIPS. Anyone know if the game allows the voice functionality to be turned off at a lower level?
