New TINT BETA almost ready

February 20th, 2010

If all goes to plan, BETA B1 will be out later this evening, replacing the current BETA that will expire end of next week. This will be the first build released that contains TeamSpeak 3 support. It’s still a bit ropey being a first release, but it will only get better in subsequent releases :)

TeamSpeak 3 support update #2

February 8th, 2010

As of tonight, I have reached feature parity with the existing Ventrilo 3 component plugin!

To get feature parity with TeamSpeak 2 requires adding the log features. As BETA A8 expires 1st March, and there’s other work to do on the client before the March BETA release I am going to leave development on this support for now to ensure that I can get it out before expiry so that there’s not a period where nobody can test anything.

So the next BETA should have around 80% of the features planned for the TS3 support in, with the rest to come slightly thereafter.

TeamSpeak 3 support update

February 1st, 2010

TeamSpeak 3 support is about the most wanted feature right now for TINT, but don’t worry, it’s coming.

The TeamSpeak 3 support will consist of a Plugin for TINT (for Pro Ed.; it will be built-in to Standard Ed.), and a “Helper” plugin that you install into TeamSpeak 3. The “helper” provides information to the TeamSpeak 3 plugin to aid it’s display. This is unlike the TS2 / VT3 Plugins that “scrape” the information directly out of the client, and as it is actually using the TS3 SDK (now that with TS3 TeamSpeaks SDK is actually rather decent) it should be more efficient.

I have worked on this feature all over the weekend, and as of today, the plugin shows channel, server, and nickname information, and a rudimentary list of speakers with speaking / not speaking statuses. It’s not finished yet, but now I have the basics working and understand how the TeamSpeak 3 plugin system works. Feature parity with the TeamSpeak 2 plugin is the now the first milestone to hit, then all the other fancy stuff that TeamSpeak 3 can do (like multiple servers) will be supported sometime later.

It’s funny, most major breakthroughs get comitted to version control around midnight!
