Tie Alien Chat to Ghost Radio not Ghost Ears

Post by Steelpoint » 08 Apr 2017, 09:37

Summary: Right now for a Ghosted player to be able to hear Alien Hive chat they need to enable 'Ghostears', this forces them to listen to all speech in the entire game. I proposed that Alien Hive chat be made to function akin to Marine radio communication in that it is tied to Ghost Radio or even make it be its own setting.

Benefits: This will allow people to listen in on Alien communication without forcing them to hear everything being said forever.

This is akin to how it works on other servers, /tg/ being more prominent, while I don't know the specifics, I do know that Alien Hive chat is not tied to Ghost Ears.
This is war, survival is your responsibility.

It's good programming practice and should be implemented to clean the code and remove future problems, +1.
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.
