Changed a bit of wording around to stop in-dev confusion, closer to Discord for player facing variables. Didn't change any of the actual true variable names at all.
On most devices these days, there is a mandatory microphone indicator
when an input device is being used. Moreover, on macOS and some Linux
distros, the user will be prompted to grant permission to the game for
microphone access. To ensure we're playing nicely with these
expectations, instead of just leaving the device on at all times on
first use, close and reopen the device as sound input is needed.
Implemented using libopus for the Opus codec, same as is used in Discord.
This adds the following cvars:
- `voice_chat` On/Off, triggers self-deafen state on server via weaponprefs
- `voice_mode` Activity/PTT
- `voice_selfmute` On/Off, triggers self-mute state on server via weaponprefs
- `voice_inputamp` -30 to 30, scales input by value in decibels
- `voice_activationthreshold` -30 to 0, if any peak in a frame is higher, activates voice
- `voice_loopback` On/Off, plays back local transcoded voice
- `voice_proximity` On/Off, enables proximity effects for server
- `voice_distanceattenuation_distance` distance in fracunits to scale voice volume over
- `voice_distanceattenuation_factor` distance in logarithmic factor to scale voice volume by distance to. e.g. 0.5 for "half as loud" at or above max distance
- `voice_stereopanning_factor` at 1.0, player voices are panned to left or right speaker, scaling to no effect at 0.0
- `voice_concurrentattenuation_factor` the logarithmic factor to attenuate player voices with concurrent speakers
- `voice_concurrentattenuation_min` the minimum concurrent speakers before global concurrent speaker attenuation
- `voice_concurrentattenuation_max` the maximum concurrent speakers for full global concurrent speaker attenuation
- `voice_servermute` whether voice chat is enabled on this server. visible from MS via bitflag
- `voicevolume` local volume of all voice playback
A Voice Options menu is added with a subset of these options, and Server Options has server mute.
