Add direct mumble support on DnC client

[mdoison]

Mumble is a channel-oriented voip software, very usefull to clan to communicate during a clan-war, but too in Free For All to talk with your friends to improve your teamplay.

Currently, Only more motivated players use mumble (or its proprietary version, teamspeak), because you must install and configure a client manually. It could be very usefull if a mumble client is embedded with tremulous client. it could have following features: - Automatic connexion with a mumble server given in DnC cvars. - Join channel check with your team (human, alien, or spectator) - Bind with tremulous a key to activate micro

Hum, I forget:

I think we have two way for voip for tremulous:

• Embeded a mumble client in tremulous, run a mumble server independant of tremulous server.
• Use speex codecs and protocol addons system to embeded voip in quake3 protocol. So, don't need an independant server, but more things to implement.

I think best way is the seconds, but it is maybe really a too hard task.

Hi! I coded a python script to manage murmur (mumble server) with dbus. the script moves players in murmur between channels when the player in tremulous server changes team the design of the script lacks because of it relies on UDP inforequests and uses only the usernames in mumble and tremulous to associate this servers. no passwords. but it works and chat with your team while you are killing is very funny. MUMBLERUSHES! we are using this system in TremSpain? server and you are free to test the experience :D !info spanish in the server for mumble connection info and !info mumble to see the people connected to the server using mumble.

we will improve the script and tremulous sources for:

* better autentication. based on qkey. admin command to retrieve password

* !kick, !mute, !ban in tremulous work together with mumble

* audio positioning

we will use surely DnC as base code for this job because this community is doing a serious job thought.

I think no need to embed the mumble sources in tremulous or code the speex stuff into q3 protocol because in the first way we have to support a fork of mumble embedded in tremulous while the original project can be improved with feature we have to reincorporate. about the second way we don't need to develop a voip logic in tremulous because we have MUMBLE :)

MMM... a dbus script is not a way for DnC, because of non-linux system portability.

But in any case, it's a good idea, thanks a lot for your comment.

I will talk about your project to our mumble specialist, he will be probably very interested with it :-)

hi! mdoison, what do you mean with non-linux systems ? non-gnu systems? that is a secondary target to me :D we need a subversion server to put scripts and goodies for tremulous, can you give us a small space for contrib/scripts?

[mdoison]

Hey ! sorry ! I didn't see your reply :'(

To know more about project and to talk (about contrib/scripts for exemple :) ), go on our irc channel: #tremforges@…

thanks :)
