No voice????
Hello fellow T2 freaks! Had a problem and i was hoping that someone could help me with it. I recently was going through my base files and deleted some old scripts that are just sitting that are not compatible w/ tribesnext. Somehow during this process i accidentally deleted something that allows me to have a voice when doing a bind. I can do an animation/taunt bind and i hear my voice just fine. Only when i do a bind that would be in "global chat". also when the game ends i cannot VGCG. won't let me? o_0 any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance.

1. Uninstall Tribes 2 and the TribesNext patch. But, copying your scripts somewhere so they're safe.
2. Re-install Tribes 2. Install TribesNext patch.
3. Run game to check if everything runs smoothly.
4. Copy scripts back into Tribes 2 folder (If you get asked to overwrite, say no)
Hope this helps!
Two things:
1) interesting that after I changed the ClientPrefs.cs file I could find no evidence of a single .dso anywhere and
2) even though I would change the ~prefs/ClientPrefs.cs/$pref::Player::Voice = "Derm5"; .wav file to ~Derm1, it would always revert to a ~Derm5 when I tried it in a server. This smacks of a hidden .dso somewhere to me, but I could find none.
A third thing: I stumbled upon a solution (perhaps only temporary) by messing around in-game with the warrior setup voice options; I changed to the bot voice which worked okay in a server, then I switched back to a derm voice and it now works properly. I don't know why this solution worked instead of number 2) (above) which has been the solution to this problem for me heretofore.
I'm not sure what is going on here, especially since it seems to occur to me periodically without reason or regularity that I can see. Any insight you might provide that might preclude this happening again Mr. Heat Killer, would be most appreciated.
Btw, anybody know what "Null Voice user" means? (Screen shot attachment in my June 29 post.)
There is a "$Host::NoNullVoiceSpam = 0;" setting in ServerPrefs.cs on the server, but I don't know what that means or does either. :-\
This script keeps these null voice folks quiet, at least for your client:
// #autoload package SoDMuteFags { function clientCmdChatMessage(%sender, %voice, %pitch, %msgString, %a1, %a2, %a3, %a4, %a5, %a6, %a7, %a8, %a9, %a10) { %newvoice = detag(%voice); if ( %newvoice $= "" ) { // Player is using null-voice exploit, show the message but don't play the sound %message = detag( %msgString ); %wavStart = strstr( %message, "~w" ); if ( %wavStart != -1 ) { %msgString = getSubStr(%message, 0, %wavStart); } } parent::clientCmdChatMessage(%sender, %voice, %pitch, %msgString, %a1, %a2, %a3, %a4, %a5, %a6, %a7, %a8, %a9, %a10); } }; activatePackage(SoDMuteFags);This script silences all globals:
// #autoload // #name = NoMoreFuckingGlobalPileOfFuckingShite // #author = ilys // #warrior = ilys // #category = ilys' Scripts package NoMoreFuckingGlobalPileOfFuckingShite { function clientCmdCannedChatMessage(%sender, %msgString, %name, %string, %keys, %voiceTag, %pitch) { %msg = detag( %msgString ); if (getSubStr(%msg,0,1) $= "\c4") return; parent::clientCmdCannedChatMessage(%sender, %msgString, %name, %string, %keys, %voiceTag, %pitch); } function clientCmdChatMessage(%sender, %voice, %pitch, %msgString, %a1, %a2, %a3, %a4, %a5, %a6, %a7, %a8, %a9, %a10) { %msg = detag( %msgString ); if (getSubStr(%msg,0,1) $= "\c4") return; parent::clientCmdChatMessage(%sender, %voice, %pitch, %msgString, %a1, %a2, %a3, %a4, %a5, %a6, %a7, %a8, %a9, %a10); } }; activatePackage(NoMoreFuckingGlobalPileOfFuckingShite);I've installed scripts before but nothing "raw" like this.
I've looked in the ~scripts/Autoexec folder, but the scripts I'm running have their own folder and name (i.e. -Boots-, jsut, etc.). Where do I put your scripts?
Oh, and is there a way to install this on my server?
Thanks again. ;D
