Hey all.
Wouldn't be cool to have a sort of Maniaspeak ( ), where people can create a server (private or public) and with that server they can have disscution while playing on same server, and playing on different servers ?
You'll need a Micro, but people could connect to that sort of Maniaspeak without to hear their mates, and with some commands in the gamechat we can change channel (like /Maniaspeak=NadeoServer3), because I am sure that some server would have one specially for them.

What do you think about that idea?

Not much a fan of it. Because if you want to talk with people, there will be some kind of server (e.g.TS) already available. And why invent something which doesn't bring up additional functionality and increasing bandwidth and so?
If you take a look at TM1, there are already some kind of TS servers hosted by the community (like Tm-Actu). Furthermore, there will be a bunch of clan internal voice servers, so it would only be funny for people which don't have a clan. And after a while gaming you'll getting to know player which you want to hang out with and this will be over TS, Skype or similar programs.

Agree to tcq.

But who knows how powerfull maniascript is. Maybe some coder can make a voicechat as addons or else

I like the idea. Because my computer sucks with multitasking, and I've tried using external VoIP programs, and can never find anybody online to chat with.

I don't think the servers thing will be useful because of all the external program (TS, Vent,etc.) but an in-game voice chat like all source-base game would be very cool. You can talk to anyone, when you want, if you want . This is very cool actually and very useful if you want to be tactic or you simply want to have fun. If it's a «fun» server, you can make an «alltalk» command so on this server, you take with everyone. In the more tactic, competitive servers, the alltalk is not activate and you can only talk to your team.

A alltalk across Maniaplanet would be like hearing Tv Reporters trying to interview a star.
No just voice servers, or choose "teamtalk" or "servertalk".
