How to disable side chat?

[Guest]

Hello,

 

I have a question that I guess could be applicable to new players.

 

When I am in  a server, can I disable the side chat so I cannot see it, more a "Hide" as opposed to disable. Or is this purely a server configuration option.

 

Thanks

And how would an admin go about disabling it server side?

You can turn down/off 'voice' in side chat with the VON setting (direct etc remain unaffected)

Note: You will actually still hear players in side chat if they are within direct range when doing this.

For many reasons, I do like having an option on disabling side chat function.

 

One of them mainly is it ruins immersion with a wall of text of excessive trolling/flaming and constant asking of "Anyone in (Insert town here)" becomes quite annoying.

Oh thankyou. That wasn't hard was it? So am I correct in thinking you can disable the voice in Side but leave it open for typing?

Brilliant, thanks to you I don't have to listen to Russians troll my server any longer!

 

Also, thanks to you I now have :emptycan: beans left :(

That's the reason i'm asking! I would prefer to have it off for when I'm recording, perhaps I need to blur it or something

Your question was "And how would an admin go about disabling it server side?"

SmashT didn't answer your question so I don't know what you're on about. I told you to Google it because I didn't know.

I'm very chill, lol, not sure how you concluded that.

Maybe I misread but what you write reads back as very abrupt.

 

My apologies.

No, haha, I didn't know the answer so I directed you to the easiest thing, Google. 

It's cool.

And how would an admin go about disabling it server side?

 

Dedicated server or dayz server provider?

extract mission file open description.ext  go to line with this

disableChannels[]={0,2,6};

change it to 

disableChannels[]={0,1,2,6};

re pbo the mission file and upload

Dedicated Private hive hosted by ViLayer. I spoke to our head admin and he is pretty sure he knows how to do it. That said, he is rather talented at breaking it.
