Default Ideas for communication - 15-06-2004

What I think HL is missing, is a multi-channe radio, so you can talk with the entire team, just your fire squad, or everybody in the entire game, rather than there being a serverside variable that gives you only one option. You could use the numpad as a sort of advanced radio control.

Possible keypad bindings
enter - talk, but can be bound to another, more convienient key if nessecary, but useful for right handed users, as numpad enter is closest to the mouse. (I have voice_grenade boud to it for that very reason, along with voice_sniper and MG on numpad + and -)
0~9 - select channel to talk to using 0
Num - mute
/ - Whole team
* - entire game
+/- - add/remove from channel: put crosshair/sights on someone, press +/- then number, that person is added to that channel. press twice to cancel. *or* hold + or - and press number to add to channel
. - admin channel, with respond-to-last-user function for actual admin - players registered as admins on the server will automatically be added to this channel, to allow discussion of TKers, possible cheaters, map changes etc.

Of course, this is mainly for WASD users. anyone who uses arrows & six-block for normal gameplay will have to find 17 new buttons if they want to use every option.
