This literally just in. Someone has apparently been able to link TS3 3D Sound with Arma 2...

I think I'll just list the features as they seem pretty ground breaking.

------------- What is it ?

It is an addon that allows Arma 2 to communicate with Teamspeak 3 to simulate realistic communications.


------------- Here is the features list :

3D sound with everybody around you (friendly and ennemy)

Management of the power of voice (wishpering, talking, yelling)

Radio communications

short range and long range device
management of 300000 frequencies
realistic radio use (transmitting OR receiving, not both in the same time)

Possibilities of electronic warfare

goniometer
possibilities of scanning frequencies

Thread is here.

Mumble

1.2.2 Released

Mumble? What the **** is mumble? Well, its another program like Teamspeak3, if less commercial. Is it any good? No idea. But I did notice the mention of ArmA2 (thanks to an ACE discussion conversation) in the latest change log.

So hmmm, what could this plug in be?
Well a search came quickly, and we found that Mumble now supports ArmA2 positional audio. Ie think of TS3 on the 3D level... now I bet your getting a little bit excited now, that possibility for 3D audio without the restrictions of ArmA2s VOIP?

But wait, that means we have to get a whole new god damn program for VOIP! Oh the humanity!?

Maybe. But thanks to this being an open source project (god bless!).
We were able to find the source code, and with some possible integration and sweat and swearing. We could find a way to integrate this into TeamSpeak 3.

So maybe, just maybe, sometime really soon, we'll have an ArmA2 3D positional audio plug in for TS3.

Food for thought.
