Well, when a server operator chooses between the new and the old codec he isn't deliberately disabling HLDJ but simply choosing between an old system with worse performance and quality and a new one. So we can't really say that implementing a new sound broadcasting system would be going against their wish to disable it.

One major problem i've stumbled uppon while testing alternative methods was the "operation". We usually have to set the file ready, then start broadcasting through mic, then play the file, then stop broadcasting and then stop playing the file. That's about... an awfull lot of keys being pressed just to play a simple sound. The easy method brought by HLDJ isn't something that can, at least directly, be transferred to other games and i think it's definitely worth keeping.

It would, indeed, be an insane ammount of work, specially for a non-commercial project, to reformulate the whole deal to make it compatible with the new codec. Nobody will blame you if you feel like it isn't worthed.

If you feel like it is, though, just let us know and we'll try to help in all the ways possible.

That's very interesting!

Playing the file instead of just transfering it to the voice_input.wav would do half the job we need. The audio device can be added later on. People can use it with third-party virtual audio drivers or that mixer solution some other guy came with one of these days. The ouput device can be altered too?

I'll take a look at the code and see if can pull something out. I'd need a little time to get used to the language, although i've heard it's not that different from PHP anyway.

Maybe with collaboration, we can make this happen!

It really pissed off!.
I want to play with HLDJ!
Renegade - please build a new (or update the current working) HLDJ so as to cooperate with the new CS: S and his fucking codecs

I don't think a new version of HLDJ compliant with the new codec will be released anytime soon. If Renegade is working on it, it would take quite a while to be operational. Since he's quite busy at the moment, as he said himself, the best course of action is to talk to your server administrator and explain him/her the situation so he/she might consider reverting back to the old codec.

After the implementation of SILK, we lost a great deal of fun on our server and that persuaded me to revert back. It's been peachy since then.

I'll take a look at HLDJ code and see if i can pull something out when i got the time. But to be sincere, college has been keeping me awful busy and it will stay this way for at very least a couple of months.

So we lost HLDJ for long Time?
Fucking updates from Valve!

grade boys

update for version css generally died down, for TF2 moving. easier to switch the microphone on the mixer in audio settings on your computer, than to wait for update hldj for css
