Mumble integration - experimental implementation

To make it easier to use mumble, it has been integrated with the ZK.

Join mumble on mumble.zero-k.info (=springrts.com) and use same nickname as your ingame nickname.

When springie does !balance it will move you to proper channel based on autohost name, spectator status and team.

Before game starts, all people are slotted in spectators.

Awesome. Hopefully that will help out with the frequently discussed team game communication issues.

Wow, that's pretty epic! Nice work!

WOW nice one!!!

This is not an FPS/RPG, I don't think that would be useful

EDIT: Is there a way to bypass the autobalancer in a specific channel? For instance in 1v1 games people might want to talk to the enemy...
Perhaps there could be some !option to disable it?

I like the idea, but it should be subtle. Probably have it so that the most any channel drops is 2-3dB. That is, if you are focused on the left side of the map, and the other player is focused on the right side, you'd only hear the left channel drop by 2dB when they were speaking.

This is really great.

I think it will be better if people stay in the spectator channel right until the battle starts and get moved back there once it ends. Then everybody can discuss the last game or the next map or whatever and some random guy saying !balance won't break conversations.

I just checked and when the game ends people remain in team channels until someone does !balance.

Just gonna ask out of pure curiosity, why mumble, not TS3? I don't intend to change something, just asking.

Mumble is open source, TS isn't afaik
