MemberI would love to have a program that would show the amount of time I’m on the mic. I bet many others would too.
In the rooms I go to everyone fights for the mic pretty much and many of them have a “time limit” that they want people to stick to (ie 30seconds or 1min etc). The program would have to be smart enough to know when the user has the mic and isnt just sitting in voice activated waiting for the mic, which adds a bit of complexity to this otherwise seemingly simple program. The time counter can then reset when we unkey by pressing the talk button.

Edit: The more I think about it, it’s going to be very complicated to try and figure out if the user has the mic or not. The only way I can actaully tell is when I don’t hear anyone else and I’m at the top of the list. Sometimes I go to the top of the list without getting the mic, which is what I was originally thinking the program could trap. I’m not sure how detailed the paltalk programs get with reading the packets, so maybe there’s somethin in the packets that could tell ya if the user has the mic.

MemberWell there’s the mic icon, can’t you see it?
The problem with it it is not always steady. But perhaps assuming that whoever had the mic last still has it unless it was dropped for like 5 seconds.October 30, 2007 at 1:13 pm #186382MemberWhen I click the voice activated option, a mic icon appears next to my name even though I don’t have the mic yet.
October 30, 2007 at 6:08 pm #186381MemberWell I don’t know much about voice activation, never used it in a romm.
Maybe they took that option out for a reason.
Anyway you need this to know how long have you been on mic or like a bot that alert people about their time limit?
The second is possible or you’d have to use the control key i guess *shrug*October 30, 2007 at 6:15 pm #186380MemberI’m looking for my own time on my screen but the voice activation is important.
October 31, 2007 at 12:30 am #186379MemberSince they have removed the voice activation feature in the newest build, I suppose this program isn’t really worth programming the way I originally thought. A bot to alert people to their time limit would be great and should be useful in future versions.
Thank you for your time and consideration for the program

MemberIt can be done by using subclassing and hooking methods 😆
I have tryed hooking in vb6 and did’nt turn out to well, But im am using delphi now and hooking is meant to be a lot easyer, So maybe one day ill give it go to make such an app

“Hooking” send shivers down my spine.
I’ve been trying to subclass before, but realized it cannot be done from another process, which meant I had to find some good code that will let me run my code in paltalk process… which I finaly have 😀
Currently I am hooking the user list and the room text, though user actions are not implemented yet and are only sent as debug text, but that’s an easy part, and I haven’t figured them all out yet.I’m not familiar with all the forms stuff, so if anyone interested in using it in it’s app let me know. It is implemented as a dll so basicaly it can be used with any compiler.
