DayZ SpeakChat

[trexeth 37]

Speakchat MUST BE revamped.

My idea simple.

If you Speak, you will be heard only at certain distance.

Example will help you understand.

If you use voicechat you will be heard only at max 200 metres (depending on how loudly you speak)

Louder u speak - more faraway somebody can here you.

It will be absoultuely same as in real life.

You can be heard only by those who are near you. (Even by zombies).

As i know futore Dayz SA will have up to 150 players on the map.

I can imagine what VoiceChat woth 150 ppl in it will sound like.

Ex: You and your friend spotted a bandit, and he is 20 metres away. You need to react fast, so you will use Voice chat.

1. Whisper to teammate: Stop there is a bandit.

2. Then talk with normal volume with bandit, and between this, whisper with teammate.

So it will be absoultuely same as in real life. (Speak louder, more ppl here, Whisper - only few can hear)

Zombies hear you aswell, and weather (rain) affects the distance also.

If you need help very fast, you can start shoutig very loudly: Help, my leg is broken, i am bleeding.

Players will hear you, and most likely will come to save you. (WIth the Realistic voice chat system, they can hear from which place you shout, so they can find you by voice) But beware, zombies also hear you, so they can come to you, befor other player comes.

But this will add 100% Realism.

If you shout, you can be heard on a long distance. (Zombies hear you aswell)

If you whisper, only those who near you can hear you.

This will add 142% realism to the game (Why 142%? there is a joke in Russia, that happened during elections. all votes from 5 parties, if we count showed up 142%, dat was fun)))

But the Text chat wil lremain the only global communication thing in the game.

Voicechat, use it like your own voice.

How u like it?

Love you and Chernarus,

Good luck,

Trexeth.

I love this idea. I was thinking this a while back. The further away you are to someone, the quieter your voice is to them! :D

This would be good, so if you see a player far away, you can shout to him to get his attention, or whisper to friends or new players you've just met, so others can't hear you!

Cool,but even cooler if wen you are at a canyon people will hear your voices eco.

Direct Chats reach is limited as it is. I'm not sure how far it is though.

If anybody on the server can hear you and complains about it, stop fucking talking in side chat!

Great that you liked this idea.

However, tomnes,

I am Russian, and as you know there are a lot of inadequate ppl in russia.

Usually if i ask someone to stop speaking in voice chat, they start to troll me using mild lexic.

That's stupid you know.

Nice spotted.

If you see someone running you can just shout: Stop or i Shoot. (zombies will hear, if they are in the city), So u need to decide really fast what to do. +Adrenaline!

And of course, whispering with teammates, so others can't hear you.

Realistic Voice Chat - that's what i want.

About Eco - i think it would be really hard to realize, but it's a good idea.

Someone sad that Realistic Voice chat would be hard to use in game.

I don't agree.

No, it;s a simple trigger.

Set_Distance_Increase_10 - Set_Volume_Decrease_1

Really simple.

If they talk in side chat turn down VON in audio settings. If they troll you in direct chat they are usually within shooting range.

Nice spotted.

Never had trouble with that. Just don't fire a Enfield or any sort of rifle while talking. ^^

Maybe, Maybe, anyway i think Realistic voicechat wil add more realism to game.

I've never seen this engine in the game, so i think this Voice Chat Mechanic willl be boom, really. Don;t You?

But, what If I have people sleeping in my house? I dont like the idea of speaking louder.

I´d like a voice chat that would be like:

Whisper Talk (10m), Direct Talk (50m), Shout Talk (100m) and Scream talk (200m)

Yeah i was thinking about that too.

Would be nice if there were a small menu to set the range

and if you set a "big raidius" of Talk, zombies near by will attack you.

I see a problem with see suggestion of trexeth,

some people got realy worse Mics, so the Voicechat won't work right...

(sorry for my bad english)
