Train Radio

Voice and keys

Talking over the train radio with Simple Voice Chat or the chat, and the keys G and J.

Speaking with Simple Voice Chat

Simple Voice Chat is optional. When it is installed on the server and the clients, a radio call carries your real voice:

  • During a call your microphone goes over the radio. The other side hears you however far away they are, as long as both have a network.
  • You talk with Simple Voice Chat's own push-to-talk key (or voice activation), as usual.
  • In a group or emergency call everybody in the call hears the speaker.
  • At a signal telephone everybody standing within 4 blocks of it speaks on the line.

The radio window says Speech: over Voice Chat.

Without Simple Voice Chat

Without the mod the window says Speech: chat goes over the radio during a call: while you are in a call, what you type into the chat goes only to the other side of the call, marked "Train radio". Outside a call the chat works as usual.

Keys
