Well it might have been a mod or somthing but if not that would be an awesome plug-in. but not just to teams but like to all players and to teams.

Plugins can not change client code.

The bzflag client does not know how to record sounds.

Oh... um ok

Meaning, BZFlag does not have a recorder.
Anyways, this would cause a lot of lag, since it has to go to the server, and then to every client. Also, it would be too annoying. Imagine having 10 people talking to each other at the same time, not imagine whenever someone starts to talk the last person gets cut off. if you chose who to send it to, you still need to chose who with the keyboard.

Yeah.. Bandwidth on the server would be murderous...

Can you imagine if boxy war did this? They'd eat bandwidth faster then I eat candy.

Didn't you read the posts above. The bandwidth required would be a huge burden on the server owner. Putting it in would mean that you couldn't host BZ without a huge amount of bandwidth, would you be willing to pay for it? I didn't think so.

talking with others.....sounds cool

a TeamSpeak on BZflag would be good idea.

agron · Post by **agron** » Thu Nov 16, 2006 5:31 pm

^but it would be a lot of work to make this

Dont forget what Win XP said about the Bandwith.

That's just scary...

As for chat programs, maybe consider Skype! I lovies it.

But everybody else is obsessed with some X-Fire or X-Chat or something. Or maybe that was just normal teamspeak. I've still yet to use any microphone program besides skype. I think I did it once on AIM...

if I recall this has been suggested many times before, and always rejected. But anyone can use teamspeak, so you're welcome to experiment.

DW You use skype I have it but i nerver set it up can you use it in Gameplay?

ducatiwannabe · Post by **ducatiwannabe** » Sat Nov 18, 2006 3:36 am

Indeed, you can talk to other people like on a telephone via microphone, or you can chat, or send files, or whatever else. Besides, they have much better smilies!

It might cause it to be a tad laggier in game, but other than that, it should work. I've done it while playing America's Army before.

I set it up but I dont have any one to talk to
