Positional Audio for Borderlands.

[kruegerfreddy]

for neather of my friends works this plugin.

Is there anyone who can confirm this plugin works?

The plugin has been tested on the international version of Borderlands. It could be that the germain version is not binaries compatible with the plugin. Which version of Borderlands does your friend have? BTW, inside the game you need to be logged in, for mumble to give the linked to Borderlands message in the console. If you do see the linked to Borderlands message and there is still no positional audio, then I will need to search for a new state value.

kruegerfreddy, see your PM for extra info.

We are (four players) playing all on the cencored german version 1.3 . Two on an XP system one Win7 and one Vista. neather has postional audio while loged in online in game. The mumble client dosnt even say in the console that it has linked to the game. Not when the game starts or we go online.

Is it posible that a plugin can detect two versions of a binary and select the corect values or does this issue imply that the game would need two plugins in mumble. One for the german one for the international version?

With the help of kruegerfreddy there is a patch in the tracker that will add support for the german version of Borderlands. We found that between the two versions there is a fixed offset of 0x1000. Making it really easy to make a single plugin that will work on both versions of Borderlands. I see that the patch has been accepted while I type this message. You will need to switch to the latest snapshot version of Mumble to get the updated plugin.

BTW: A previous patch already updated the plugin to work with version 1.3.1 of Borderlands. Again only available if you have the latest snapshot version of Mumble.

Don’t the plugins get updated even for the stable version?

Was there sth big/incompatible changed in the snapshots?

[rawnar]

I heart on the IRC channel that they switch to Visual Studio 2010 and that plugins compiled with Visual Studio 2010 crashes the stable version, which is compiled with Visual Studio 2008. So it is more a Visual Studio compatibility problem then a mumble one. They also changed the Magic Numbers in the plugin header, to curcumvent the problem of crashing. This means that a plugin compiled with the latest git repo will be rejected by the stable version. So if you want to backport the plugins you need to make a new branch which does not include the patch's related to Visual Studio 2010.

sorry i find time so late, but i wanted to thank rawnar for his time and work he put into this thing. I did a great job not only on developing this plugin but helping me to understand how the development of such plugin works.

At the moment I am working on a plugin that will also support the steam version.
