Description

This addon is allows you to see which player in your raid/party is speaking on external voice chat program (aka Ventrilo / Teamspeak). It can also mute all game sound when someone speaks. Just two things are needed:

1. bind the same key you use on voice chat on VoiceKey under the Key Bindings settings of the game. If you want to use special keybinding use the addon settings instead. To setup voice activated chat see FAQ.
2. only players having this addon are shown.

Feedback Wanted

Please post any feedback you have regarding this addon and what you like /dislike, or what doesnt work. I am especially interested in:

• voice activation - the general usability and feel of the feature, is sampling voice level every 2 second sufficient ? Do you notice a fps drop if you compare it to push-to-talk?
• silencing game sound on any speech feature - does it work correctly?
• does you addon settings occasionally reset to default?
• is localization correct ?

FAQ:

1)Can I use a voice activated voice chat?

• Yes! But remember voice activation is still in beta and push to talk is recommended. You must enable blizzard voice chat ( ingame settings) and correctly set up voice activation there ( you must leave it enabled) . Try recording a sample file to see it is set up correctly.Then just enable voice activation in raidvoice addon settings.

2) Why Cant i bind my key to ctr, shift (or some other single key) ?

• Yes, you can ! You can find some special key binding in addon settings.

3) I see only myself speaking and not other players.

• You can only see players with this addon. Check if they have bound the VoiceKey.

4) I want to hide the addon when noone is speaking.

• Type " /raidvoice hide " to enable autohide feature. (Now in addon settings too)

5) Can I have this addon localized to language XY?

• Yes, I set up localization page http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/raid-voice/localization/ .You can help localize it there.

6) Can I have this addon loaded on demand?

• Yes, You use some load managing addons like MyAddOns, but you have to manually edit raidvoice.toc and add following line:

##LoadOnDemand: 1

7)How do I customize guild channel names?

• Ingame interface for this feature is not implemented, but you can change channel names manually. In the file C:\games\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\<ACCOUNTNAME>\<SERVER>\<Character>\SavedVariables\RaidVoice.lua you can change channel names to match the channel names of you Teamspeak/Ventrilo server. Please note that combined length of all channel names is limited to around 220 chracters. Increasing the number by 1 in channels version will set these channel names for all guild members with enabled guild channels synchronization.
