Dave The Rave 0 Posted July 24, 2017 I am using the desciption.ext to disable certain chat channels as stated on https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext does not work!!! iv tried it in both formats and even in a striped down mission with no mods or scripts running to avoid conflict. any ideas or work around?

RyaanDunne 1 Posted July 24, 2017 Believe its just a case of adding this to the Description.ext - Obviously change numbers as required. /* 0 = Global 1 = Side 2 = Command 3 = Group 4 = Vehicle 5 = Direct 6 = System */ disableChannels[]={2,6,1}; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave The Rave 0 Posted July 24, 2017 Ok i found this post.. Universal workaround for usage in a preInit function: { _x params [["_chan",-1,[0]], ["_noText","true",[""]], ["_noVoice","true",[""]]]; _chan enableChannel [(_noText != "true"), (_noVoice != "true")]; } forEach getArray (missionConfigFile >> "disableChannels"); https://feedback.bistudio.com/T117205 Not sure how this works but i also found it in a wasteland mission file that has channels disabled. but not sure how to implement it im my mission to make it work!?

RyaanDunne 1 Posted July 24, 2017 @Dave The Rave So after a bit of digging I found an old script from KiloSwiss which I have edited a little bit, When speaking in the disabled VON Channels it should automatically switch to Direct Chat. Add the following into you mission folder and it should work :) All credit to KiloSwiss. Description.ext /* 0 = Global 1 = Side 2 = Command 3 = Group 4 = Vehicle 5 = Direct 6 = System */ disableChannels[]={2,6}; #include "voiceControl.cpp" initPlayerLocal.sqf execVM "voiceControl.sqf"; voiceControl.cpp /* KiloSwiss Channel numbers: 0 = Global 1 = Side 2 = Command 3 = Group 4 = Vehicle 5 = Direct (6 = System) */ /* Channels that are allowed to be used for VON by any player */ playerVONChannels[]={3,4,5}; /* Channels that are allowed to be used for VON only by group leaders */ groupLeaderVONChannels[]={1,3,4,5}; /* Channels that are allowed to be used for VON by any admin (see "voiceControlAdminList") */ adminVONChannels[]={0,1,2,3,4,5}; /* List of Admin GUIDs */ voiceControlAdminList[]={ "76561191234567890", //Someadminname "76561190987654321", //Someotheradminname "76561197098765432" //Thirdadminname /* No comma (,) after the last entry! */ }; voiceControl.sqf /* VoiceControl Script v1.1 by KiloSwiss - 24.Juni.2015 Restrict Voice in certain channels without disabling them completely.
