Title: Premium Only Chat GAmes
Post by: smoke.aHa! on October 13, 2003, 03:34:30 am
since ghost recon players are lucky enough to get a game where u can get a game where u can go online and have team chat and all chat they should utilize it and make premium only games where u can chat and stuff, how fun now? who could take the responsibility to host a dedicated like that

I love it when people are too afraid to post their name.  you must be really commited to your arguement.

what I think smokie was referring to is insure that everyone in the game can use the voice communication feature that was added, so everyone can talk to each other.

Thank you for the clearing up Splinter, I just wanted to see if people would take use of the premium only chat during games.  Talking to your team and to other players with the press of a button like built in netfone, with out the problems of disconnects and ip finding.

I think GR should be reset so that every account is equal, only that if you don't pay the $50 you can only use it for 30 days/a week. (And if you made another account, you'd have to use another computer ? because of the MAC number ? and you're bound to run out of computers sometime.)

30 days a week, yep, bound to run out of time there somehow?!  

And it should not be reset, since some of us decided to pay for the service earlier.  We paid, each for our own reasons.  

Smokie, you are a bit wrong though.  The chat can be used in ANY OSX game.  Not just GhR.  Evill even mentioned that if you run RS in classic mode, not in OS9, that it would work.  

Yes, I realize you are requesting someone to put up a premium only dedicated server, but I just wanted to make sure people understood that it's for all OSX, not just GhR.

And anonymous, cry me a fucking river.  You are probably the same kind of asshole that doesn't pay for NetFone either.  So do everyone a favor, put your head back up your ass, and go play RS.  Boo fucking Hoo, there's a premium feature I want and I don't want to pay for it.  Boo fucking Hoo.

yah well no one is stupid enough to run RS in classic mode unless you own a g5


Title: Re:Premium Only Chat GAmes

yes u can run classic on G5, u cant just boot into it

Bucc, don't act stupid, you knew exactly what I meant. 30 days OR a week.


Title: Re:Premium Only Chat GAmes
Post by: smoke.aHa! on October 15, 2003, 12:00:47 am
thats a good idea, but i think a timer on the top right corner of GR for none premium users allowing people to play games only for 2-3 hours a day if u dont have premium, or maybe a 10 hour a wekk is better

That would never work. Anybody with half a brain could spoof their MAC to something new every 30 days. And remember, there are 2^48 possible MACs.

NetFone was only $20, but glad you bought premium anyway.

I think that the chat in GR has potential to be much better then netfone.  The only thing I've heard people complaining about is the lack of voice activation, and myself, I like push to talk anyway.

The only other advantage of NF right now is that you can talk to people outside that game, but that's also a weakness, as  people have learned in CB's.

Kami, lighten up.

Some reasons i think GR premium ingame chat > Netfone

1) You don't have to run around grabing ip's
2) Talk to a public group of people ( everyone )
3) Talk to a private group of people ( your team )
4) Buttons for both groups
5) Doesnt need to involve another outside app besides GameRanger and GhR (desktop if you want fits.)

Some Reasons i think NF < GR Premium ingame chat

1) Need IP's
2) Only Private groups
3) Optional hold down button
4) Static at points
5) Echo
6) Outside app
7) Difficult for new timers who pirate that app anyways and don't know what to put the settings to
8) If you dissconect with someone you have to quit the game to re connect
9) Takes a while to get a group a sembled if someone does not have static ip.

Like i said in a diff tread.. I like Premium cjat.. i whish evill would make mouse butons assignable to the chat feature. (on a 8 button mouse like mine it would keep me from have to take my hands off the mouse/movement buttons to talk. I have tried the diff drivers to bind the mouse buttons to keystrokes.. but i loose the function of some of my mouse buttons. W/ the drives inplace only 5 out of the 8 buttons work right while playing GhR. So evill please make mouse button assignable to the voice chat feature.

just assiagn / for the everyone talk and . for team chat, who needs buttons ?


Title: Re:Premium Only Chat GAmes
Post by: kami on October 16, 2003, 12:22:50 pm
Ace, I know my idea could never workl, but for other reasons than that you can change your MAC, because I don't think a lot of GR users would know how to do that, do you?


Title: Re:Premium Only Chat GAmes
Post by: |MP|Buccaneer on October 16, 2003, 09:24:24 pm
Kami, as many GR users that know where to find games to download (pirate), I'm sure that they would figure out how to spoof a MAC address.  Especially since half of the people seem to have routers and it's a function in many routers.

Word would get around fast.

Voice activation or a toggle key would be perfect, and toggle wouldnt' be all that hard to do anyway :P


Title: Re:Premium Only Chat GAmes
Post by: smoke.aHa! on October 18, 2003, 11:31:43 pm
voice activated chat would be stupid because ur speakers or ur little sister or your moaning girlfriend would make it activate

cassock, stop talking out of your ass.
keep this up and you'll end up like snipey. banned for life

that taken care of, i agree with crypt that a toggle function, or a VOX toggle could be a good idea, and probably much easier than dual channel vox

 Cassock, posts and cock-length are not directly proportional.

Remember, as Snipey clearly shows - the more spam posts you make, the shorter your cock gets.

Post by: |MP|Buccaneer on October 19, 2003, 10:22:11 am
2200 posts Typhy, exactly when did you turn into a woman? =P  Does your vagina just keep getting looser?

It's also important to point out to somkie that the less you have to start with, the quicker it will go.  Damn, too late.  Sorry Smokie.

And just to keep this somewhat on topic.  We are still having issues when running NF and GR Chat at the same time.  At least some of us with digital mic's are.

Post by: Typhy on October 19, 2003, 11:06:10 am
 Bucc, I never said that they were inversely proportional, I merely stated that they are not directly proportional.

Can i take this opportunity to bitch about my digital mic then? Its a rather pricy Platronics DSP and should be a very fine and dandy mic indeed, complete with all the trimmings... Yet the damn thing keeps on suffering from what appears to be overload. The mic appears fine but the headphones crack up and decide that everyone im tlakign to sounds a bit like a west yorkshire Darthvader calling u from everest on a very bad line....

that don't sound to good believe me


Title: Re:Premium Only Chat GAmes
Post by: BTs_Lee.Harvey on October 26, 2003, 06:19:55 am
BFG i get the same thing... what it seamed to me at first was maybe the unit was not getting enough power at times for the DSP unit to work.. so i got a power usb hub.... well that didn't work....... everyone esle that has this unit said it works fine for them so i thought it was b/c i use a powerbook...now i dunno what it might be...... what type of comp you on... g3,g4,g5,powerbook,ibook,imac?


Title: Re:Premium Only Chat GAmes
Post by: BTs_Lee.Harvey on October 26, 2003, 01:20:37 pm
Hey BFG.. an update on the pantronics prob we seem to be haveing..... updated to panther...i have had no more problems...

and the vol. buttons now work on it.......... they controll the system volume


Title: Re:Premium Only Chat GAmes
Post by: smoke.aHa! on October 30, 2003, 02:21:35 am
How about we keep to the topic and stop talking about my cock.

BFG, have you attempted to read the manual under trouble shooting? If there is nothing there, I'm sure if you visited the webpage for your digital mic they should have a small forum or email/online chat service of some sort, or you could upgrade to Panther which is kind of a hefty cost for a fix, just return the mic and try another if none of the above works for yah.


Title: aha!
Post by: BFG on November 01, 2003, 03:21:11 pm
Ty ty ty. yeah i did look on the plantronics site a while back to absolutly no avail. im running jag at moment but panther is in the post.. or at least it had better be! ;)

Harvey your a star ty. I had given up on Platronics updating anything and i was somwhat convinced it was my hardware. Just for the record im using a 1Ghz DP G4. And like you ive tried it with a powered hub to see if it was a power issue...


Oh and the size of my cock? well im 6"8 and in proportion ;)
