How do you implement 3D voice chat? It would be amazing if my friends hear me from the right position.asked by Vaelen
So yes, we definitely actually want to implement 3D voice chat. We're looking at several ways of doing it. We're going to be moving to a new sound system as well, in the engine - Wwise from FMOD. So that's kind of the goal - it's not working right now, but we kinda want to filter and process, like if I'm chatting to my friend and we're playing together, my voice is sort of filtered by my situation - I've got a helmet on, or I don't have a helmet on, whether I'm in an area that's echoey or not, or whether I'm behind them, or at the front or the side. So we are definitely planning to do that. I think it will be pretty cool and make the game more immersive, so stand by for that!
