Voice chat in OFP

[-TFF- NEO 0]

How do you use the voice chat in OFP?

(When you press Caps Lock there is a mark by the chat window and a soldier's head symbolising that he's screaming.)

Maybe you press Caps Lock and talk to the microphone?

Really? ...The others then, do they hear me only if they have Voice Chat on (Caps Lock pressed)?

[R. Gerschwarzenge 0]

Nope. They hear you when you have caps-lock on. They don't need to have caps-lock on. But I can't remember do the others have to go through the voice chat setup to be able to listen.

The voice chat setup? I haven't done it, how do I do it?

[R. Gerschwarzenge 0]

Launch OFP-Preferences and the setup button should be there on the right side of the window somewhere.

If you can't find the button from the right side of the window then it's on your other right.

Yes. Looking at your avatar, you could use a little of Avon's Black & Blue Eye Shadow.

I've tried this voice chat alittle, and it's crap. You hear a weird, maybe alittle metallic, sound... well, the sound actually reminds be of hard metallic bubbles... To read a voice with this is impossible. Is it like this for all of you? What is wrong?

Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not. Have you considered trying Roger Wilco for voice com while playing OFP?

I was playing with a guy in korea, and he had a 200 ping to me, and we were voice chatting fine, but at a lan, the guy 1 table across from me couldnt hear anything but crackling from anyone at the lan, even though he had a ping of like 4.

Hm, I don't want to pay for this. Could use MSN Messenger, though I'll only be able to talk to one at a time.

Darn that this Voice Chatting isn't good. Should try it with someone else perhaps, if it's just my friend who has some trouble with his mic...

Have you tried updating the sound card drivers?

I've never had any real problems with the quality of the sound, although at times the EAX effects seem to get applied to the voice channel.

Try TEAMSOUND.  I've found the sound quality and interface to beat the pants off Roger Wilco.  Very clear and reliable.  Check it out.

I've tried TeamSound for a while now with some of my clan friends, and it's good. I recommend it. Thanks for the tip Sergeant Rock.

Out.
