Denied Ingame radios to replace teamspeak

[Connor Membo]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Adding a radio to roles that need teamspeak.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
There's been some suggestions like this but all of them i can see talk about giving every job a radio instead of the jobs that actually need them like MTF and CI.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Reduce metagaming and ghosting since people wont be able to speak on the radio while dead.
Remove the need for any externals like teamspeak.
Adds RP with people potentially being able to steal radios like CI stealing NU7.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
A radio mod would probably have to made from scratch if no good ones exist.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Seeing how much custom content there is on the server i believe a radio mod would be easy for the devs of the server to make and with radios there would be no need for teamspeak which puts off alot of people from CI and MTF.

Fuck Teamspeak.

This used to be a thing though it was removed because it lagged the server horribly. I believe this is already planned.

I hate to alt tab to see what other type in there or to see what someone typed in their
+ i don't want to open ts every time i want to play as mtf or goi

The biggest +support of my life, I hate using TeamSpeak as an In-Character long-range communication, would also reduce metagaming massively.

 

[Advil Smith]

+support but every Job would need radios, even some people playing medical use Teamspeak

Fucking hate Teamspeak, such a stupid platform to enforce.

This used to be a thing though it was removed because it lagged the server horribly. I believe this is already planned.

I also want to eventually re-add a IC radio again when we manage to sort out the lag issues

I imagine that it's not a priority and not happening anytime soon, but it does appear to be in the cards, yes.

The biggest problems with IC radios currently are:

• Performance issues
  
  
• Potential circumvention of server rules, esp. severe tox

So I imagine that working out a performant implementation of them that can be sufficiently moderated is something like instant-migraine territory.

We used to have radios years ago but it caused a lot of server lag. I'd love for this be remedied and reintroduced.

Reduce metagaming and ghosting since people wont be able to speak on the radio while dead.
Remove the need for any externals like teamspeak.
Adds RP with people potentially being able to steal radios like CI stealing NU7.

Another positive would be that it encourages IC interactions between CI internally during their downtime.
Already mentioned this before, but CI/GOC have no real reason to interact with one another IC because they can just talk via TS.

Fuck Teamspeak.

so friggin tuff boiii

 

[Guts]

it better be in the rulebook that you have to put over and out after each transmission accordingly

 

[Harry Nolan]

Words can't describe how much I support this. I will quite literally learn LUA apply for Developer and or paypal ventz directly to get this implemented.

Suggestion Denied

Hi @Connor Membo ,

Thanks for taking the time to make a server suggestion.
The Content Team has chosen to deny your suggestion due to the following reasons.

We understand that the community is eager to reintroduce an in-game radio system and reduce reliance on Teamspeak. However, this request has been denied multiple times in the past due to known addons causing significant lag. Our previous system faced similar issues, which ultimately led to its removal by the content/NL team.

At this time, we cannot accept any suggestions to reinstate the radio system or create a new one from scratch. If you or any other members know of an addon that is lag-free, please reach out to me on Discord at jamarion.

Your suggestion will now be locked and marked as denied.​
