Murmur/Mumble Voice Chat Support

[Jesepi]

I saw only a couple of actual posts on this topic, so I figured a thread devoted to something this specific would not hurt. For those of you that run a Teamspeak or Ventrilo server, there is an emerging new third alternative:

Main Page - Mumble

Some interesting stated features are:

-Free
-Positional Audio in supported games. example: a person who has their character standing behind you in a game speaks in murmur. your speakers make the sound come from behind you where their character is positioned.
-The client appears to be very skinnable for those wanting to do rebranding of some sort. For examples, see here: Mumble Skins | Mumble-Tower
-Linux/Windows/OSX support
-Sound quality is supposedly matched with ventrilo, or better when using the best codecs for both servers.
-Low resource usage other than bandwidth

One issue I ran into were all the dependencies you find out about while trying to get the server compiled. Having it bundled into cPGS would make it be much easier to set up and manage, and give another option alongside teamspeak for people wanting a little more choice.

I agree, I think this would also be a huge hit for users that want the total gaming experience. Although, even Ventrillo isn't packaged for CPGS Why? Every game panel has ventrillo! - Including a web browser for ports etc!

Ventrillo isn't packaged for CPGS Why?

Jesepi - I've got murmur on my list of things to add, it'll probably get packaged like a server if possible, binaries and linked files included so it can run on most any system. I've not tried actually doing it so how successful I'll be is another matter, but it is on the list for sure.

robbie_troster - I'm not sure if every panel that has Vent support is doing so legally. For instance, unless they make you download the package directly from the Vent website, they are breaking this rule:

Q) Am I allowed to host the software for download from my web site?

No. Your download page must link to the official Ventrilo.com download page. Redistribution of any Ventrilo files is copyright fraud and strictly prohibited.


Which means I can't build it into a package like every other server in cPGS. I'll try contacting them again to see if I can get a reply about allowing it's use in cPGS and what they'd require for it.

Mumble is a v-chat application for groups. It has good low latency, super voice quality, and features an in-game overlay.
I really like it.

Hate to rehash a old thread, But Mumble has my clans heart and would love to see some type of integration.
