C# Voice Chat Doesn't Work

[Wessley Mitchell]

Hi.  I just started with Rage Multiplayer yesterday.  I've written my own resource in C#, and it works nicely.  Players can readily connect to my server, and synchronization looks good.

But I want to enable voice chat.  I've set server-files/conf.json > "voice-chat": true.  Settings > Voice Chat > Voice Volume doesn't bounce, which would seem to suggest it doesn't hear me.  Shouldn't this be responding to my voice?  I only have one microphone, and it is set correctly.  Voice Chat is enabled on this page.  Windows's various settings pages show the microphone meter bouncing when I talk.

When I hit F4, "Voice Chat State:  enabled" is displayed, but the other players in the session can't hear me nor can I hear them.

I'm using this plugin:

Here's the server output upon starting server.exe:

I've updated my above post.  I was originally having problems with both the JavaScript and C# versions of the above plugin.  I got the JavaScript one to work, but I'm having trouble with the C# one.  I appreciate any knowledge from someone with experience with the C# version.  Thank you.

I was able to debug this, I think.  Please see this file, which is a modified version of the .cs file from the plugin in my original post:

I want to highlight this line:

Quote

Notify(DateTime.UtcNow.ToString() + ":  Entities.Players.Streamed.Count:  " + Entities.Players.Streamed.Count.ToString());

When players spawn in close proximity, all players see "Entities.Players.Streamed.Count:  0."  So it seems to me that Rage Multiplayer is not updating its Entities.Players.Streamed list when players come in range.

Can someone shed some light on how to make Entities.Players.Streamed behave properly?

(I use "DateTime.UtcNow.ToString()" in the code to provide uniqueness so that messages will replace each other.  I've seen identical messages not push each other out of the way in the bottom left corner.  For example, this plugin writes, "Voice Chat State:  enabled/disabled," but pushing F4 multiple times quickly will trigger "Voice Chat State: enabled" and "Voice Chat State: disabled" only once.  After that, you need to wait for them to disappear from the bottom left before you can trigger them again.)
