Another milestone update, got some solid programming time in to bring us closer to final release. Here are the latest changes:
- Voice Chat Functionality now fully operational!
- Added Mic button in Waiting Room and in game to toggle talk
- Press and Hold the Space Bar for Push-To-Talk function
- 3D Indicator icons on top of the player’s King to show who’s currently talking and when you’re recording
- Green triangle down when listening, Red triangle up when you’re talking
- Spacial Voice Location in 3D Surround Sound to hear the person talking from the King based on camera position
- Made Back Quote ` switch through camera views (1 – 8 changes camera position too)
- On game creation options, added switch for Voice Chatting Enabled / Text Chatting Only
- Changed transition between screens to do a clean fade and scale, might go back to ripple effect later
- Fixed minor bugs when a player disconnects in game and players vote on what to do
- Made an simple installer for the Windows 32 & 64 bit setup to make it easier to copy to Program Files and create shortcut
Feels good to get all that working, love it when the code practically writes itself.. Thought the voice chatting system would have taken a lot longer to get it just the way I wanted, but turned out to be fun to program. So far it’s solid, but will need some more beta testing to be sure I didn’t miss anything. Now I can refine some more cool features around that, but it’s just fine tuning from here. Have fun and let me know if you want to set up a time to play against me…
