Plugin Ideas

[tibbon]

What would you like to see as plugins?

I see three main types of plugins initially:

• Game Integration
• 3rd Party Integration
• imVOX Extensions

Game Integration would build deeper integration with games- including overlays, in-game controls, etc

3rd Party Integration would integrate imVOX with a non-game program- perhaps Firefox, Skype or an IRC program.

imVOX extensions would be additional extensions of what the client could do. Perhaps it could record audio from channels or something else cool.


We're working now to finalize what the API/SDK can and can't do. The main features that it must include is awesomeness.

What are some plugins that you'd like to see?

Game Integration-How about a FPS metor in the top left of the game screen.

Game Integration-How about a imVOX integrated screen for server settings.

Game Integration-Maybe a little pop up text window in the bottom right so u can see what others typed in the TEXT Chat part of the server.

Game Integration-and maybe a little clock on the screen somewhere

3rd Party Integration-Dont need

but hope u can use theses and hope u do

We might be able to do an FPS meter, but that will require hooking in with the game and figuring out the output FPS of the game itself. Most games (in which framerate matter), have an FPS meter somewhere in their advanced options.

I highly doubt in the near future that we'd be able to do any direct game integration for non-open-source games, and for those it would be dependent on the game dev's to make it happen as we likely won't mess with their code.

For an overlay, we could put a clock, but again, most games in which it matters have such already.

I would like to see a widget/plugin for my Vista sidebar so that I do not need to have the full screen up all the time.

I'm not personally a Vista user (somehow skipped from XP to 7) so I don't know much about the sidebar. Do you know if it is present in Windows 7 too? We'll likely be supporting things mostly for the newest operating system to give us the longest life-span for the feature, but we can definitely look into it (And maybe a 3rd party dev will pick it up once we release the SDK).

Thanks!

Tibbon,
Thanks for your reply. According to Microsoft, Windows 7 does include the sidebar and I think there might be how-to's for creating the gadgets/widgets.

Add in a Phantom type thing from Ventrilo, so people can be listening to other channels without being in them. Or have it like TeamSpeak where they can just turn on a thing that has them listening to anything sent into a global chat kind of thing, that way people can use this for big battles and what not the same way Vent/TS are currently used.

Ability to pipe music into room channels. The more admin control the better. For sure make it an option to allow certian members/users to use this function. Different music piped into different rooms would make this very powerfull software and me a life long customer....Let me know if I can help in any way.

I would also like to see functions for meetings including the following:

1. The ability to mute/unmute users by a job ranking. An easy way to accomplish this quickly would be globally mute then be able to unmute certain groups at certain times. It is important that the structure be set up ahead of time before the meeting get underway. The more professional and smooth the meeting the better.
2. Add in video conference support.
3. Add in notes that can be publicly displayed or privatley ie Personal notes about users....maybe notes that can be shared by officers of a company or guild.
4. These are all options that you could charge for when dealing with a large corporation. It would be benififial to sell one time use packages for employers that may only need this type of thing once or twice a year,
5. You could bring me on as a beta tester and I could help you make this the biggest form of buisiness communication in a long long time...I want to use this software and I also may like to be a part of your buisiness in the future...who knows!
