Having mic cutoff issues on steam deck proton experimental. Possibly a performance issue happens more often later into the session also sometimes see lag spikes or get stuck lagging eventually too.
When reviewing the Godot Engine's documented audio issues, I did come across one talking about issues caused by an audio player being active for an hour+, but hopefully the lag occurring after a while is something I'm not cleaning up in my code.
Me and my friend made a pack that we called WiiVoice and while testing it with other friends we had an absolute blast. Thank you so much for making the game!!!
Would there happen to be a contact or submission form for some feedback and thoughts that we came across while making and testing our pack?
Glad to hear the local multiplayer was worth the effort it took to implement in this version! Feedback can be submitted at 'feedback.yeahmaybe@gmail.com'
Since the Games recording doesnt work i want to help, here is information about my pc:
Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26020
As Speaker mainly: Logitech G935
As Mic: Tonor Q9
I tried it with the Headset Microphone and with the Logitech Hub fully closed through task manager but it doesnt record anything. Yet when i turn on live mic i can hear myself, but the game doesnt record it for whatever reason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The reported Steelseries mics not working might be an issue with its audio software. Does the Tonor Q9 also have its own audio software? If so, that would demonstrate a pattern of either my code or the actual Godot Engine not playing well with these mics' software.
I've made an unofficial server for this so we can all enjoy the game together and have a great spot to find other people's content and packs, or even post your own contributions :D
Unfortunately no, nor is there actually a way to test voice clip audio in the main game either, outside of playing a round. It's a feature I need to add in an update.
Also, would you be interested in me running a Discord server for this game, so people can discuss it, host MP nights, share custom content and such, and more?
Would be cool to make an awesome community for this :D
Anyone's free to make their own community if they wish, especially since I'm not spearheading that. As long as nobody tries to claim that theirs is official, I say go for it.
I've made it. I've labelled it clearly in the name that it's unofficial, but you're welcome to join it too and I can give you a special role only for you (and whoever else is currently making it, wherever it's just you, or anyone else who joins you in the future).
Picked it up with intent to play with some friends on discord, as well as contribute to making some packs and it's great so far :)
Just wanna give headsup tho that people who use Steelseries Sonar (the pricier / newer headsets use that), this game has a problem with that app, so the only way you can get the mic to work properly is to close Steelseries fully (through task manager), then you can use ur headset properly on it.
my antivirus put the godot program into untrusted because of missing digital signature, but making it trusted seemed not to help too much but heres the interesting thing I found.
So despite the wavelength not showing any blips, the audio IS recorded. But it doesnt show it. Nor does it play back on my headset. It however does play it back when i run it on my speakers for some reason? I dunno what could be causing this but i hope that's some help o3ob
Thank you so much for taking time to investigate the issue. What you've reported is incredibly baffling though. So, if I've got this correct, all game audio works except the user voice playback, which will only play if you've chosen your speakers as the output device?
And the waveform appears for the voice clips, but not the user voice recording, but the user voice is actually recorded? That's the weirdest part, because the waveform sampling and user recording uses the exact same audio bus. ...what on Earth...
Okay i did more testing and i have solved the issue. And this may be a good thing to mention for anybody who uses this cause it's a pretty popular brand.
I am using a Steelseries Arctis 9 headset that comes with software for use. One of which deals with audio stuff. Sonar, which is a setting for increased audio control in the Steelseries GG client, messes with the game. I turned it off and with the same mic input and same output, it now shoes the wavelength and works. So should this error occur for anybody else you can point them towards that :D
Yet again, I thank you very much for your sleuthing. Proprietary audio software is of course something I have no experience with; I will have to consult the Godot community and find out if it's an issue with my code hopefully, and not a problem with the Godot Engine itself.
I have the game's defaults as a separate download, which shows the basic structure of pack files and what the names have to be. What kind of pack are you making? Are the names of your files the ones that the game looks for?
hey so, for some reason, the scoreblips sound fine in the menus, but within the rounds, nothing plays, i tried using all audio formats, and nothing, any idea?.
I shall look into it as soon as I get home. That's strange that nothing plays, especially if it works in the menu. It's something dumb on my part, I'm sure. Thank you for the report.
There was in fact an issue with the scoreblips in the studio, where the file type expected only WAV. This caused an error when I tested it with MP3. I've updated it to fix that--however, you said that you tried all audio formats and it didn't work for you, but WAV should've worked in that scenario. Does the new version 0.4.11 happen to fix it for you? If not, I'll have to try harder to find the cause.
this is a fantastic game! quick question: no matter what i do, whenever i try to give my custom host unique dialogue, it defaults to Shae's every time, is there a workaround/fix for this?
Thank you for catching that! Appears to be a bug from a late addition to my code that I wasn't even utilizing. I've just updated the download to version 0.4.10 which should (among other things) properly load your chosen host.
My first suggestion is to check the length of your mp3 files. Are three of them longer than 5.5 seconds? The default settings don't allow clips longer than 5.5 seconds, but this can be increased up to 60.0 seconds
Getting 5/5 judges is intended to be difficult. The audio scorer is still a work in progress though, as sometimes close matches won't score as expected.
I'm using Godot, which has support for exporting to Mac and Linux. It will be a matter of playtesting them in those environments, but I do expect to have support for all three major operating systems.
Well that's something I definitely need to fix! What exactly is the issue: your mic isn't among the input devices listed, or there's no audio input once you've selected your mic?
Just to help with game development i'll give you the full list o3ob
All my mic options are there. On selection windows asks if i want to allow the program to get mic input. I allow this.
My antivirus asks if i want to confirm this, I do so.
On testing no matter what input i select mic does not pick anything up. I tried launching it as administrator it didnt help. And according to the Privacy & Security > Microphone sector in my windows settings the godot program is allowed to pick up whenever i click to test the recording, yet nothing is recorded.
OS is windows 11.
(Also if it helps a minor bug i found was when you hit enter after entering a name and then trying to save it it crashed the program)
No problem! I know you're nervous about your first release but you got something great going here. I bought it twice just to support you even if it doesn't work for me currently :3 keep up the good work<3. You're doing amazing.

I've made a big Valve pack with over 1600 voice lines, players, hosts, a menu theme and judges! https://drive.google.com/file/d/123llKjHZa5JPg1n9gJgWhoTXCg-yeWM7/view?usp=shari...
I also updated the Retro FPS Pack with some bug fixes and improvements: https://drive.google.com/file/d/123qDjCSPUsNjrvbIT05bB82ik9ghb_St/view?usp=shari...
Do you think that this game will eventually be put on Steam?

An update is that it seems to happen more and quicker in sessions with multiple players then a single player.

I do not have any software for the Tonor Q9, idk if there is even one but i never downloaded or searched for any

Is there no way to listen to the audio packs in game in the demo?
Unfortunately no, nor is there actually a way to test voice clip audio in the main game either, outside of playing a round. It's a feature I need to add in an update.

Hey YeahMaybe me again.
I did some more testing should it help.

I seem to have the same exact issue as well, except I'm using a Logitech G Pro X.
Yet again, I thank you very much for your sleuthing. Proprietary audio software is of course something I have no experience with; I will have to consult the Godot community and find out if it's an issue with my code hopefully, and not a problem with the Godot Engine itself.
How do I make a pack? I’m trying to put my character in the game, but its not working. Can you help me on that please?
I have the game's defaults as a separate download, which shows the basic structure of pack files and what the names have to be. What kind of pack are you making? Are the names of your files the ones that the game looks for?
hey so, for some reason, the scoreblips sound fine in the menus, but within the rounds, nothing plays, i tried using all audio formats, and nothing, any idea?.

I have this issue too...
Thank you for catching that! Appears to be a bug from a late addition to my code that I wasn't even utilizing. I've just updated the download to version 0.4.10 which should (among other things) properly load your chosen host.
no clue what is causing that, i have multiple mp3 files (4) and it plays one round, and for some reason the same exact audio file
My first suggestion is to check the length of your mp3 files. Are three of them longer than 5.5 seconds? The default settings don't allow clips longer than 5.5 seconds, but this can be increased up to 60.0 seconds
exactly what i thought was wrong, exactly 3 of em are longer than that limit, i'll try to find where to make the limit bigger
It's on the first page when you click Settings, in the top-middle of the screen.
thanks, also i feel like the last judge never votes?
Getting 5/5 judges is intended to be difficult. The audio scorer is still a work in progress though, as sometimes close matches won't score as expected.
Where do i get the hosts like worf and those
Awesome! I'm still working on the valve pack. It already has a lot of stuff in it (over 500 voice lines). I'd say it's about 80% done.
yoooo i need that pack, we need some sort of forum or discord server for these pack
I've made a Discord now, with improvements to come soon, so hopefully both of you can join and when DiaBomb is done, he can post it there :D

Will the game support mac eventually?
I'm using Godot, which has support for exporting to Mac and Linux. It will be a matter of playtesting them in those environments, but I do expect to have support for all three major operating systems.
hurray
I made a Scott The Woz Pack! (currently working on some other ones too)
No matter what I do it wont pick up my mic :( Sad. Still dont regret the supporting though and I look forward to whatcha can do :)
Well that's something I definitely need to fix! What exactly is the issue: your mic isn't among the input devices listed, or there's no audio input once you've selected your mic?

OS is windows 11.
(Also if it helps a minor bug i found was when you hit enter after entering a name and then trying to save it it crashed the program)
I wonder if it's a Windows 11 issue, but I certainly hope not. I'll see if I can't recreate the issue somehow.
Regarding the bug you mention, that I was easily able to recreate, and that's quite the bug! I'll get on hotfixing that, thank you.
No problem! I know you're nervous about your first release but you got something great going here. I bought it twice just to support you even if it doesn't work for me currently :3 keep up the good work<3. You're doing amazing.
You're crazy! But I appreciate the support so much! I really hope I can diagnose the microphone issue.
Congrats on the release! Can't wait to put it to use!
So happy to see it finally released! Can't wait to make stupid fun packs for my friends
It's worth the money!
I'm currently working on a pack for Vinemon Cries and other Monster Cries!
