Mumble for Project Reality
***Please use the following guide step by step to ensure the best use of Mumble in Project Reality***
* 1. Make sure you uninstall any current Mumble install you may have (leave the "user preferences" box unchecked during uninstall, it will remember all your settings and servers etc). Install this new one,
* 2. Install the latest mumble:

* 3. Run the audio wizard to get yourself setup initially.
* 4. Go to configure->settings---> select the "User Interface" tab and check the "Expert Config" box.
* 5. Go to configure->settings---> "Audio Input" tab
Mumble Audio Input
Transmission
- Transmit = Push to Talk (Mumble's "voice activation" feature is extremely well implemented but should only be used by advanced users)
Compression
- Quality = 10 (this can be lowered to accommodate those with bandwidth limitations. If you notice in-game lag, lowering this setting will help)
- Audio per packet = 20ms (this can be raised to accommodate those with bandwidth limitations. If you notice in-game lag, raising this setting will help)
* 6. Go to configure->settings---> select the "Audio Output" tab and use the following settings...
Mumble Audio Output
Red = Official PR settings that should be set exactly as noted
Green = Recommended settings that may be altered according to user preference
Mumble Audio Output
- check the "Positional Audio" box.
- volume - 60% (while setting BF2 ingame effects to 50% and voip to 100%)
Volume Attenuation
- check the "Headphones" box (if using headphones)
- minimumdistance - 1m
- bloom - 100-175%
- maxdistance - 70m
- minimumvolume - 0%
* 7. Go to configure->settings---> select the "Overlay" tab and untick Enable Overlay (keeping the overlay enabled may cause random punkbuster kicks with BF2)
* 8. Go to configure->settings---> select the "Plugin" tab and tick "Link to Game and Transmit Position" (if you don't do this, 3D audio won't work)
INSTALL NOTE:
Here's a common install issue people been having
1. Go the Connection, setup the server, port, username and then click ADD.
2. Select the server from the list to the left and then click Connect.
Putting the server information and clicking Connect directly doesn't work for some reason, use the method above.
