RIP Halo

To be honest, it's better to focus on the real issue before adding luxuries.

Pretty difficult I think.

You'd want to implement some kind of existing system instead of doing something completely custom. TeamSpeak 3 a fairly rich SDK now:
http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=teamspeak3sdk

Would be cool to have, but I think someone would need to setup a TeamSpeak 3 "master server" for this as well. All players utilizing VOIP would be connected to this master server so it would have to be professionally hosted (aka it would cost money).

Maybe that's something they could look into later if they release a client that can push out updates like I mentioned.

Warlord, I agree with Cortexian's quote above. It's better to have existing system instead of start from scratch unless TS3 required you to install it in order for it works. It's not likely to have halo and TS3 on same server from the hosting company to provide the VOIP support. Unless may will need client/server communication for informing the client's TS3 to connect specific room and/or server to have a same chat room?

To be honest, it's better to focus on the real issue before adding luxuries.

I agree with this. At least take one at a time instead of many things at once. That would cause a lot of chaos.




P.S. I don't have the plan or time to redirect the gamespy's queries inside Halo to community-made server handles all the work before the end of May. I'm still in middle of major changes for the H-Ext, relative to load system...

Good news! Bungie appears to be making Halo 1.10, which moves the master server to a Bungie-owned location. Good ol' Bungie.

This update is a maintenance release, just to keep Halo working. There are no plans to ever add new features (that will be left to the modders).

However, Roger did throw in a few nice fixes:
- permit resolutions up 4800x3600
- enable active camo on Nvidia (it will render like other cards now instead of just alpha blending)
- fixed video memory value to support 2GB cards
- fixed handling of periods in map names
- network access is enabled in devmode
- sv_ban_penalty in init.txt works to set new values
- models node limit raised to 63
- ignores checksum of strings.dll
- various overflow, validation and other code fixes

Oh wow lol

I mean don't get me wrong this is fantastic news. I'm just surprised the announcement was in such a dark corner of the internet and not somewhere more... official.

[arbiter901]

It's not the official/final release, so that may be the reason.
