Hey man I think its time for a new version of Winbolo. Winbolo version 1.14. This version should have all the mean function as Winbolo 1.13. But one thing that makes it different....Vioce Chat......Give me a shout...Is this a good idea or Bad. I think its somewhere in between...Jack

I know I find socially crippling my inability to talk with everyone who plays winbolo. There must be an answer.

There are programs out there that can easily be used while running WinBolo, such as Ventrillo or Roger Wilco. The only downside to running these programs is that if you wish to talk to other players in the same game, they must also be using the same client and connected to the same chat server.

The only reason I see to implement voice chat into WinBolo would be to talk to allies during a game. Keep in mind that there would be players who would choose to abuse this and just be completely annoying, so a "mute" feature would also have to be built in. Also, I think it would mean more packets being sent, adding to any latency issues already present within the game.

Thats the whole point in voice chat. Hands free...just your hands to control the tank. Chat with other team mate will make it easier. All you need is a tool bar at the bottom of the window that lets U choose witch person to chat with. Or I think Play Winbolo and chating through Yahoo Chat. I wonder how would that be. Chat with your team mate and play at the same time...........COOL. Maybe I'll try that with someone at Winbolo.net. I would use a team mate but I've got non....
