Local voice chat, while global text chat is active?

[Just Chill]

Why hello there,

I heard rumors of players on my server that it is possible to have a global text chat, while the voice chat is set to proximity.
Which settings have to be done to achieve this?

The web interface of my rented server only shows an option to switch ALL chats to proximity or completely turn of the voice chat and it seems I cannot change the INI files.

Thanks for any help :)

Cheers

Does anyone know this for sure?

I just want to write a request to my server hoster.
They imply that they have direct contact with the developers, so I am wondering why they aren't aware of the option to set the voice chat to proximity.

Jarl said himself, that there is a proximity voice chat by default:

You'll have it ready! There's proximity based chat on the official servers, custom servers will have the option to either use proximity based or global voice chat. As for the proximity based, the voices will fade the further away you are from someone. It's very clear so you should have no problems listening to what your friends and foes are saying.

So I guess this option is "GlobalVoiceChat", but I wonder why my server hoster states in the web interface, that I am just able to completely deactivate the voice chat or turn it on globally.

Is there a setting to deactivate the voice chat and have the hoster only forgotten to add "GlobalVoiceChat" as Option into the web interface or is he mistaking "GlobalVoiceChat" with turn off/on?
Because in my understanding "GlobalVoiceChat" switches the voice chat to proximity if it is on false, but not completely turn off.

Did I get it right and is there even a command to disable the voice chat?

Hey Just Chill, the default behavior is to have Global Text Chat and Proximity Voice Chat.
You can use the following commandline options to alter that:

?GlobalVoiceChat=true

This will make voice chat global, rather than proximity-based.

?ProximityChat=true

This will make text chat proximity based, rather than global.

Those are the only options currently to affect it. Have something else in mind?

Cheers,
Drake

Thanks for the kind reply Drake :)

So I guess "GlobalVoiceChat=false" will make the voice chat proximity-based then?
Seems like the hoster I've rented the server from has mistaken that option by stating in the web interface, that it will completely turn off the voice chat XD

I will refer to your answer, when I write them about that issue.

Thanks again for your help.

HeyJust Chill, I got the same problem but the comments Drake told you to use don't work. How'd you fix it?

I don't own a server anymore.

I just set "GlobalVoiceChat" to "false" and "ProximityChat" also to "false".
But to be honest, I never tested it if it works.
The voice chat was then just not global anymore, but I couldn't say if the voice was proximity then.
I had no voice but was asked by some of the players if I could set it to proximity.

I wasn't asked afterwards so I guess it may have worked?
