A client-side Mod so that Minecraft now natively supports Mumble's positional audio feature.
This means: Directional and positionally attenuated VOIP in relation to the game world.
Requires ModLoader. Demo Video here.


Posted Image




Download for MC 1.5.2
MumbleLink.jar

MumbleLink-OSX64.jar for OSX 64bit


Change Log:
v3.0.3
- updated for Minecraft 1.5.2
- now using JNA instead of JNI
- now directly supporting Minecraft Forge and (still) ModLoader
- does not support OSX 32 and 64 bit at the same time anymore (see separate download!)
- native libraries are now packaged in the jar and do not need to be extracted - this should help with managing different versions



Table of Contents Installing
  • Close both Mumble and Minecraft.

  • install Minecraft Forge or ModLoader

  • put the "MumbleLink.jar" into your .minecraft/mods folder - DO NOT EXTRACT THE JAR!
    • Windows: %Appdata%\.minecraft\mods\MumbleLink.jar
    • Linux: ~/.minecraft/mods/MumbleLink.jar
  • setup Mumble: activate advanced option "Link to Game and Transmit Position"
    • Configure -> Settings -> Tick "Advanced" -> "Plugins" -> Tick "Link to Game and Transmit Position"
    • optional advanced Mumble settings can be found here



Upgrading
Spoiler:



Demo Videos


Here is a great new demonstration video by Scarystuff. Thank you so much for sharing Posted Image

note: the mumble settings are probably still defaults
to get a more realistic approach I suggest setting Mumble up as described here.



NOTICE: Although the advanced Mumble setup up still applies, this installation tutorial is out-dated.
by serafinobp  -  Thank you very much Posted Image

note: sadly the directional aspect is not audible in the video, only the attenuation effect is. But check this one out (use headset or 5.1):- that is how it is can be working in MC as well (using advanced mumble settings)



Details

Note: I have dropped support for this project indefinitely. (post)
Note 2: I can't seem to stop working on this ... but don't rely on me giving you timely updates.

However theskorm has forked the sources and announced that he will try to help with issues (https://github.com/T...mblelink/issues).


Advanced Mumble Configuration
Instead of hearing people from indefinitely far away you can set up mumble to only hear them when they are close. In return you (and they!) will need to bind an extra key to communicate with those far away (imagine it being a "walkie-talkie" button).
To set this up you will need to do some special settings which differ from the defaults, in return it might enhance your audio experience. Instruction video here, skip to 3:19.
  • In settings dialog check "Advanced" (bottom left)

  • "Link to Game and Transmit Position" activated,
    restart after setting this option
    (this mod will not work without it!!!)

  • Maximum Distance: 70m
    (this value will determine when others are too far away to be heard)

  • Minimum Volume: 0%
    (this value makes you not hear people beyond Maximum Distance)

  • untick "Attenuate applications by..." "while other users talk" and "while you talk"
    (mumble would dampen Minecraft's audio if ticked)

  • bind a key ("Shortcut") to "Shout/Wisper" "Shout to Channel" select "Current" Channel and make sure to check "Ignore positional audio"
    (this will enable you to speak to everyone no matter how far away they are or what their settings are)


Support
Please try to find the answer yourself: Read the README sections "Notes", "Troubleshooting" and "FAQ".
For support post in here or in the forum on sourceforge (https://sourceforge..../modmumblelink/). Please post the version number of the mod and your full ModLoader.txt (e.g. use http://pastebin.com/)



TODOs
  • more testing with different linux distros (development not started - not planned either) (no complaints for over a year)
  • further testing for MacOSX - esp. 64-bit version (not started - will not start anytime soon [I do not have a MAC]) (no complaints for over a year)
  • integrate switching between "world dependent linking" into GUI as a setting (either use GUIAPI or ModOptionsAPI), neither should end up as a requirement for the user though (currently possible through the config file)
  • maybe add achievement for successful linking with mumble to provide better feedback that it has worked (dropped because tests show its not that reliable, has issues in SMP and is a one-time thing only [some code for it in r76])
  • add server, world and other player related info to the "identity" field and wrap it with JSON
  • add better compatibility with MagicLauncher
  • Forge based version (see ticket; WIP at a separate branch) (done since 3.0.0)
  • revamp as a server plugin
  • switch over to JNA and make a non-jni (general) native library (done since 3.0.0)
Development
This project is licensed under the LGPLv3.
Sources can be found on sourceforge in the SVN.
Read the README.txt files in some of the folders for instructions.
If you would like to help me out see if you can take on one or more of the TODOs.

Not entirely true, if he isn't zsawyer he could have obtained permission to make this thread. I do hope he has permission or he is zsawyer, because this is awesome on so many levels.

Yes, that is me on sourceforge. Tried to clear that up in the initial post.

I regularly host an SMP server, have just set up a Mumble server for it, and will be testing this out as soon as I get the mod installed. I'll report on it, but just letting you know: This mod is awesome! I've been wanting to see this done with Minecraft ever since, well, CMP haha. Thanks so much for your effort and work in creating it for us all =P.

Mumble is a voice chat program much like TeamSpeak, and is often used with servers in the same manner. However, Mumble comes with a special feature, called positional voice chat, in which other players' voices are attenuated according to their distance and direction from you, but it only works if the game supports it. This mod allows Mumble's positional voice chat feature to work with Minecraft.

This mod seems to be incompatible with Optimine. I installed one mod at a time with this and mod loader in it and tested, once I put Optimine in I got a black screen on start up. Seems like a great mod though, I'm looking forward to using it. Just waiting for someone else to get it installed without a black screen so we can see if it works.

Edit: Okay, we can't get it to work sadly. =(

Alright, got my buddy Clash there and I together. Unfortunately, we can't get the positional audio attenuation to work. Is there something we're missing, maybe?

Edit: Alright, we figured out the problem. His installation failed to load, thus it didn't link up with Minecraft. Here is the error message (seems to be related to 64-bit again):

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Users\Clash\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\bin\natives\mumbleLink\mod_MumbleLink.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform

Unfortunately this single entry is insufficient for debugging. That line will always be there when using 64-bit Java because the 32-bit library is always attempted to be loaded first. A fallback procedure will then attempt to load the 64-bit DLL.

v1.0 does not support 64-Bit Java please use v1.1 instead.

If you still have problems please provide the full ModLoader.txt file.

Edit: Haha, my bad... I didn't check connect to game under plugins. Might want to add that to the notes list. Dx

Been having a lot of fun with this mod. I highly recommend it! There is a side effect though that people begin spontaneously RPing and/or speaking with accents. Haven't figured that one out yet.

It's there, you just missed it =P. He doesn't really tell you where to find it, though, so it's a little confusing. Under configure > settings, and with Advanced ticked, it's the top and only check box under the plugins menu.

Yeah I guess I was kind of lazy there... sry.
Glad you got it figured out.

PS: I'll try to clean up the Warnings in the next release. They are quite misleading.
