Hello people :
I have been reading over alot of this form and have to say there are alot of realy smart people on here . that being said , I am hopefull someone can help me.
I would like to redirect the voice chat from my or any other AV to come from a prim like a sound file does .
I see in scripts , things being called in from SL sites and directed into world where needed , and your voice, I assume is directed through a sl server before someone hears it .
Thank you if you even ponder my question

You can in fact, and if you use Windows you can do it really easily with a voice client I wrote called VoiceBox. It never caught on and Linden Lab came out with SLim so I'm just gonna make it open-source. http://rapidshare.com/files/190583811/VoiceBox-2008-01-22.zip.html You can find the executable in the 'bin' folder; everything else is the source code. I'll work on setting up a repo on Google Code later maybe.

Unlike SLim, VoiceBox allows you to join a parcel/estate conference. The system I came up with requires you to know the conference URI and global coordinates you want to place your voice at (example: sip:confctl-16726643@bhr.vivox.com/260230.3/249501.3/26.8) If it turns out you're interested in this method, send me an IM and I'll help set you up with a conference URI.

There's no scripting support at all for Voice. No cross-over whatsoever. If you can broadcast a sound (parcel URL) stream instead there's some functionality you could make use of, but with that feature you lose all spatial effect. A custom viewer might or might not be able to affect where in the virtual world other clients think your voice is coming from (but I doubt it; most likely those clients get that info from the server).

Ah. Okay. There it is. Essentially a custom client solution. Interesting that the client takes other client's words for it rather than re-using positional data it already has from the sim. Huh.

What made me think of this

Hey thank you Day Oh ,
Just downloaded that and will be in touch soon. I try to do as much as I can befor I bother people.
I found a post about an SL MP3 Player with use of a perl scipt and pop3 mail acount on a webhost , and I believe the sound will come of the prim the script is in , I could be wrong.

/15/4d/12454/1.html

I haven't found a free webhost with pop3 to test it , and I don't realy have the $$ to pay for testing things.
The SL side of thigs seems to work but won't know untill I get the web side going
If there was a different way of pulling this off that would be sweet as well
I have been told to use Appachie for a server on a spare PC but networking is not my friend and my router and I are not on speaking terms lol .
Thank you for the Replies , can't wait to see what you think on this.

Yet another application that'll greatly benefit from HTTP-In, once they finally get it deployed. Hope they're scrambling, 'cause I'm getting very antsy! :mad: :D
