Proximity voice chat for multiplayer, with an in-game phone (calls & SMS) and CB radio. Requires the free external FarmVoice client running on each player's PC.
Changelog:
1.6.0.0:
- MOD: Added the landline: the FarmOS desk phone (placeables, on its own or on a desk with laptop and notes) with its own number. It rings on site, farm members pick up and hold the corded handset to their ear, the display shows the number, the caller and missed calls. Up to 3 per farm, only a farm manager can place one. Press E at the phone and click its keys with the mouse (number keys work too) to call out with the landline's number. For now a landline only works within your own server: other servers can't reach it and it can't call them
- SERVER: Short codes 110 and 112, the server owner sets the target number in the FarmVoice Hub
- MOD: Added SIM cards. Players can have up to 3 numbers on a server and switch between them on the phone. Each SIM keeps its own contacts, messages and call history. SIM cards are off by default, the server admin turns them on in the FarmVoice Hub
- MOD: Added language channels to global CB radio. They follow the game language by default, you can change that in the SETUP menu of the radio HUD
- MOD: With network coverage on, hail, thunderstorms and tornadoes can knock out radio masts. A broken mast has no signal and charges no site rent until someone repairs it
- MOD: Broken masts show up on the map and you repair them on site in three steps. The owner pays for the repair, another farm that does the work gets a bonus. If nobody takes care of it for 3 days, the network operator repairs the mast at double cost
- MOD: Added a quick menu with 10 gestures other players can see, and shortcuts for phone, radio and voice range. Hold Ä to open it (you can change the key in the controls)
- MOD: Arm gestures run until you stop them, yes and no play once. You need free hands for gestures, and they don't work in vehicles
- MOD: Hold Ctrl when you pick the wrench gesture to lie on your back and work from below, for example under a vehicle. Walking off ends it
- MOD: When you change your voice range, a dotted ring on the ground shows the range in meters for a few seconds
- MOD: Radio mast messages now come from the new SMS sender "FarmOS". "FarmVoice System" is kept for important system messages
- CLIENT: Changed the sound of the phone speaker
- ALL: Small backend fixes
1.5.4.0:
- MOD: Added the new "Notes" phone app. Notes can be pinned, shared with contacts and groups via SMS, and can remind you at a game time or a real time
- MOD: Added new phone backgrounds to choose from
- MOD: Changed the colors of the "MIC ON" HUD text
- ALL: Preparation for hub.farmvoice.de, a new site where you manage your FarmVoice room (create application pages, request pairing codes, register new servers etc.)
- CLIENT: Added voice activation calibration in the client settings
- CLIENT: Added client icon in taskbar if activated in settings
- CLIENT: Added badges achievements
- ALL: Mod and FarmVoice client belong together in this version. With an older client, the game and the client show a version notice
1.5.3.0:
- MOD: Added the new FarmOS FM-40 radio mast for large maps (shop: placeables). Full signal up to 1 km, maximum range 2 km. On 4x maps, about four masts cover the whole map
- MOD: Added antenna (For pre configured vehicles only)
- MOD: Vehicle radio gizmo fixes and improvements
- MOD: Fixed handtool handradio switch between farms
- MOD: Handtool handradio drop fix and some adjustments for patch 1.25
- MOD: New info after update success
- MOD: Added Polish, Dutch and Czech translations
- MOD: With "Bought radio only", the HT-5 handheld radio now also works in vehicles as long as there is no powered CB-10 (vehicle without CB-10 or engine off). When the engine starts, the CB-10 takes over
- MOD: New HUD icons next to "MIC ON": handheld or vehicle radio while transmitting, phone during a call
- CLIENT: Voices sound softer at a distance, and players who turn away sound quieter and more muffled
- CLIENT: Updated libraries
- General fixes and improvements
