Squad VOX idea

Gents.

Here's a simple idea, ever been on a Confrence call?  If so, you know when someone dials in and joins the confrence you get a "Du-Dweep" sound.  It lets you know someone joined, so the boss can say "Your Late!"  But I digress

How about, when squad member signs on, and joins squad channel, we get a simular "Du-Dweep" sound.  Would help to know when squadies sign on / off, and promote general squad comroditity.

And for those that hate the idea, make it a squelchable event, just like the beep after VOX transmit event.

nothing negative about this suggestion imo.

That would be nice. It also will let you know when anyone joins your channel. Just so you can take a moment and see who it is and if they should be there or not.

This is a feature on teamSpeak, pretty good... also lets you know when a squaddie discoes.

That’s a good idea...i would also like a buddy list of some sort. Maybe even a buddy list similar to AIM. EQ has a nice one. I mean its nothing you can’t already see on the roster anyway but a buddy list would make it easier to find your friends and filter out the people you dont know, or dont want to know =)

Only problem is the MAWs would hear, "Du-Dweep, Du-Dweep, Du-Dweep, Du-Dweep, Du-Dweep!" all night long. ;)

PS... Don't have a problem with it, as long as it's squelchable.

Thats fine.. they just need to replace the "du-dweep" with "DWEEEB" every time one logs on and all is good.

HiTech, is the beep  for vox a .wav file somewhere in an AH2 folder? I personally hate the beeps, but a short burst of radio static might be an interesting alternate. I don't use the beeps, as I hate beeping sounds, but they're pretty useful in telling when a squaddie loses voxs- ie, i hear a beep, look at the xmit tag in
the upper righthand corner, etc etc. Anyhow, just a thought.

cheers,
