Well as I have been playing some other games and designing ones of similar type myself it has come to my conclusion that maybe support for various hardware periphials could be made. I remember a while back that there was a technology section on the website for dbpro but it hasnt really been updated. What im after is a communicator headset......modern fps and stratergy games use the voice head sets to relay stratergy and help people work together so rarther than use text chat im asking if tgc can try find a pc communicator and write a dll to support it??

Unfortunately you either need fast broadband or a LAN to make effective use of them.

Are you trying to say Dialup is slow and incapable of anything but sending text-based emails?

yup
and u know what even sounds stupider
dialup is thru sound but its to slow to transfer binary sound although it transports normal voice fast


what i have always wondered is if electricity is as fast as light then how come it can only transfer like a max of 10mb/s so far
and why dialup is so friggin slow

Even using 512K ADSL, VOIP is pretty awful... You need at least 1Mb on both ends, preferably using SDSL.

Skype, 5 people in the chat, me hosting, all of us playing Battlefield vietnam, 512 connection (via tempremental wireless link to router downstairs), I found the quality to be better to a normal phone line

Headsets are just speakers and microphones not sure what audio support DBPro has, if you could find a voice chat libary you could wrap it and use it as a DLL though

Simple fact is if you wanna play online games you need broadband. I dont think the quality will be all that bad I play on live with a headset perfectly and thats with like 16 headsets all communicating.

I play online games using dialup... none of them use proper voice communication though.

I've always been curious about (but too lazy to investigate) commands that *I think* I've seen in the DBP command set to record sounds and send a sound as a net message. Granted, you'd probably want to compress the recorded sound as MP3 instead of WAV before putting it on the network. Anybody tried?
