Mute player's voice

[Suchy_]

I've made a simple addon which allows to disable player voice, you can choose "No Voice" in user profile. It's useful when using a voice recognition software for commanding your team, so your character won't repeat everything you say to the microphone.
It probably won't work in missions/campaigns overriding player's voice set in the profile, I haven't tested it though.

(Also an updated profile for PiLfIuS, if anyone's interested: http://soundscapes.cozywebhost.com/stuff/arma2_pilfius.rar)

Is there a different to the Reduced Voices by Lester (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=6032)?

A brief compare seemed like there is none, apart from several errors in the config of this one.
So you may wanna try the once from Lester Suchy.

Doesn't RV affect also your teammates apart from the player? My addon adds a new voice which is actually no voice, but doesn't change existing radio protocols for AI.
By the way what errors did you spot? I don't really have much experience with configs and scripting.

Ah yes you are correct. Sorry. :)

You need to define your cfgPatches class.
You may only define changes in a config (apart from the class tree).

Use a diff tool like compareIt and delete all that is the same as CAdubbing.

OK, thanks for info. I'll fix it in a free moment.

Suchy you have sorted out exactly a request I had, and I use voice activation, I would kiss you for this .. but clearly thats wrong :)

Yes, this one is a good one if you are using voice recognition in ArmA II. I still haven't finished my VAC profile but I will surely test this addon next time...

@<hidden>: You should consider to register a TAG for your addon as well, see Mondkalb's excellent addon tutorial (Step Two) below for details, it's free and avoids addon clashes...

There may be good info for your config as well...

Edit: Just tried it and it's nice to not hear your own voice repeating orders when using VAC/PiLfIuS. Btw, below is the errors I got reported in the RPT-file and I guess it's due to config errors Kju mentions...

Sorry for spamming the thread but it would be nice to have a similar addon that hides/disables the radio menu in upper left flashing on/off for every command given.

This would preferable be an separate addon since the menu is good to have when setting up/trouble shooting your VAC/PiLfIuS profile, but after you have the profile working 100% it would be nice to be able to disable it completely.

Just an idea...

Sorry for any necro-posting, but did anything ever become of this? The premise is excellent (IMHO a basic necessity for voice recognition), but I've had limited success (it only works for me when testing editor missions). In multiplayer, single missions, and campaign, with any faction, it will not work at all. Just curious if it ever got anywhere, or if I need to learn how to edit .PBO files to get it to work somehow ;). Thanks for any info out there.

The addon works despite the errors, and there are no error messages in game. I still had no time to fix it, but never the less it's usable.
