TS3: Have names read out to you
Posted: Fri Jun 15, 2012 2:07 pm
So as you may or may not be aware, you can use Text2Speech in TS, which is very useful if you're playing in fullscreen and want to know who that mysterious "user" is.
The problem is that the default T2S pack is not very good. It has stupidly long sounds like:
"KoffeinFlummi was moved to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (Beta)"
Also, the sounds where you not have to hear something custom, like the chat message sound terrible.
A simple beep is better than "message received".
So i took my GlaDOS sound pack (which is awesome BTW) and replaced the "User entered your channel" and other stuff with "User" with "[name] joined" etc. (Neutral sounds remain unchanged.)
You can download the pack here: http://www.mediafire.com/?t0cdvxklx7gcdi4
Just move the folder in the archive to "[Teamspeak installation directory]/sound", restart TS and choose "GlaDOS" as your soundpack.
To get this to work properly, some users might have to set a phonetic nickname.
It will work fine with most names, but leetspeak sounds stupid and tags should be removed.
Also you may want to shorten your name to keep the messages short, like:
KenBF3 -> Ken
FlashOfSilver -> Flash
You can set your phonetic nickname by going to "Status" -> "Set phonetic nickname" in Teamspeak. (This does not affect your actual name)
PS: I don't know if this is the right board. If not, i ask a mod kindly to move it to the appropriate one.
