    :) cheers
    :) cheers

    I thought it was somewhere in live_game
    I was unsure though, so i thought it better to ask someone then just randomly starting on fiddling with code.
    I learn using the trial and error technique (I Try this, fail, try that fail, try again, win ..yay).
    And most of my coding skills is some Awesome "copy and pasting" :) hahahaha

    That's what I do mostly. The more you do it the less "fails" you'll produce.

    We've got loads of very competent programmers in the Realm, and we're building in a git-type thingy into the website hopefully before release to let people work on mods together. Have a natter with a few people on the Teamspeak and see if you can find anyone willing to lend a hand!

    Do you play tribes ?

    that's way harder for me to implement than text but most probably possible.

    It's pretty easy to make a **** out of power plants and energy storage. That's about all I've figured out.

    Yes, I want te commander to talk. First I want him to be able to say a couple standard things that are related to your choosen faction.

    The standard sentences used in Tribes: Ascend are very usefull. You have taunts, but also shouts like: defend this and attack that. I think that PA can really profit from a similar system. Because you will not have an ingame voice chat, this is very usefull.

    Shout example:
    VBB2: Build a T2 Bot factory
    V Open commands menu
    B Build
    B Botfactory
    2 T2
    It might even be possible to place a marker with the command, because this is not a FPS but an RTS.

    I put the info from the wiki in a quote. Just look at it, this stuff is amazing and easy to use.

    I'm thinking if they open up the UI api a bit more for modders, some people say it possible to implement voice activated commands using google API.
    Maybe i can do something similar and use an API or the built in Window Text-to Speech capability's and turn the chat that's typed and displayed into synthetized spoken words.

    But once again , i will most probably need to find a more skilled scripter/modder as my current skills fall a bit short of doing this (im sure it wont take me too long to learn though)

    Just to be clear the system I mention might be called "Voice Game System" but as a player you only press a combination of keys. A computer voice will speak the order and it will show in the chat.

    If it's not standard in the game, it would be great if you could make a mod for it. Unfortunately my modding skills are non-existent.

    I second this.:D Except for the taunts. :mad: A way to toggle the taunts off would be awesome.

    Rather than intercepting a chat message, why not just bind a hotkey through Javascript to send a message? Much less hacky ;)
