TeamSpeak Plugins

TessuMod depends of two TeamSpeak plugins to function:

• Client Query Plugin and
• TessuMod Plugin.

Following subsections describe them more closely.

Client Query Plugin

Client Query comes with TeamSpeak and is enabled by default. The plugin offers most of the functionality that you can do through TeamSpeak's user interface, but in a form of a simplified command line terminal:

TessuMod uses this plugin to detect when TeamSpeak is up and running, when TeamSpeak is connected to a server, when users speak or stop speaking, etc...

TessuMod is useless without this plugin, so make sure you have it enabled if TessuMod has difficulties detecting the TeamSpeak client.

For more info, see plugin's forum post:

TessuMod Plugin

This plugin comes with TessuMod and users can install it as well. The plugin is optional, there is no need to install it, the mod will function without it.

The plugin adds support for positional audio or 3D sound. In battle, with the plugin installed, user voices appear to come from their vehicle's direction.

Installation

The mod advertises the plugin in-game in garage's system notification center (lower right corner) when the mod connects to TeamSpeak client and plugin hasn't been installed yet:

From the notification you can start the installation wizard. If you're using Windows Vista or newer you will likely get prompted for admin priviledges which looks something like this (sorry, Finnish only):

Alternatively you can just execute installer manually. It's installer package tessumod.ts3_plugin is found from res_mods\<version> -folder. Double clicking the file will start the installation.

You may need to restart TeamSpeak after the installation has finished.

Configuration

Plugin's settings can be found from TeamSpeak main window's menu:

The dialog which opens provides following settings:

General:

• Enable Positional Audio - Toggles positional audio on / off.

Audio:

• Test Speakers - With Test button you can test how different audio settings affects to audio playback. The testing feeds out noise from TeamSpeak's currently selected audio device. Position of the audio source rotates around you depending what has been chosen in Rotate audio source -setting.
• Horizontally (around y-axis) - The noise playback's position starts from behind you and rotates counter-clockwise around you, first to right size, then to front of you, then to your left size and finally back to behind you.
• Vertically (around z-axis) - The noise playback's position starts from below you and rotates first to right size, then to above of you, then to your left size and finally back to your below.
• Vertically (around x-axis) - The noise playback's position starts from below you and rotates first to front of you then to above of you, then to behind you and finally back to your below.
• Select Audio Backend - Selector for audio positioning engine. OpenAL provides more functionality and configuration options and it is enabled by default. If you encounter issues with OpenAL you can also fallback to use TeamSpeak's own internal positioning engine.
• Enable HRTF - Improves audio positioning when using headphones or headsets.
• Select default HRTF data set - HRTF data set to use.
• Logging level - Selects OpenAL's logging level to use. Those logs are found from TeamSpeak > Tools > Client Log.
• Advanced Settings - opens OpenAL configuration file to a text editor. Any changes done to that file take effect immediately upon file save.
