Displaying Speaker via XOSD (Linux)

[[DUCK]Butcher]

Finally - After app. 4 Hours of work (DLs were completely new to me), here is the first release (v0.1) of ts2osd

It just displays the current Speakers via XOSD2.

I tested it on my system, which runs:
- Linux 2.6.4-gentoo-r1
- xosd-2.2.5-r1
- gcc-3.3.2-r5
- TS 2.0.32.60

Feel free to try it!
You can also report your Suggestions and Bugs to me! (Please don't change the sources yourself)

Oh - i almost forgot:
Thanks to Neo for his C++ header somewhere in the forums.
Also thanks to the person, who described the GetSpeakers-function in this forum - btw. it IS documented, in the current .pas example coming with TS

And ... who the f*** got the idea to write TS in Delphi?!?!

Ok...

I tried this, and it works quite well, BUT it has the following problems:

(a) it places the text in the middle of the screen...my destop is 1600x1200, and my ut2004 runs at 640x480, which leads to the fact that I can't see the green text, because it is out of my screen area...I suggest positioning the text more to the left as default, so it fits even with extreme resolution changes.

(b) the programme does not react to ctrl+c, I have to kill it manually, and then it dies painfully, with a Segfault.

(c) ut2004 does not start anymore (it only worked once), now it dies with segfault every time I try to run it, maybe a reboot will fix this, stopping ts2osd certainly does not .

(d) it does not react well to being started while not having teamspeak running or while having teamspeak running and not being connected to a server. It also seemed to have terminated my teamspeak client when I switched servers...

###

apart from these general issues, the code you supplied is broken, the headers you added just either dont work that way in the Makefile, or are not terminated =)
Also I got some warnings where you assign the function pointers, which I have treated with a explicit cast.

Patches for all 3 files will be attached, apply via "patch -p1 < eachfile.patch", from within the ts2_osd directory (containing the mentioned compile fixes), rename to patches.tar.bz2, it is no zip.

BTW: what licence are you using for this application? If you don't mind then please use LGPL, so that it is possible for us to use the code in teamspeak3, if it works out nicely.

thanks for your comments!

I already recognized a few bugs you posted. i also recognized, that its not compilable (silly me...).
i'll fix that one, since i already wrote some additional features and will put it on my webserver.

anyway - thanks for your "pre-alpha-testing"(?)

Just compiled it,

and it gives me:

./ts2osd: /home/matthias/apps/TeamSpeak2RC2/client_sdk/libTSRemote.so.0.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

when starting up :/ - no time to look into it at the moment sorry, so this is just a report.

To all:
I'm currently fixing a bug, when TS2OSD isn't displaying the Speakers for some time. Don't know the exact reason yet.
I'm also working on a support for displaying all Users in the current Channel. Maybe also leaving/joining messages.

Hang on and post your suggestions!

Aaah - You have to modify the ts2osd.conf!
You just didn't specify the right path to TS2!

Next time: Read the README :P

I'm currently fixing a bug, when TS2OSD isn't displaying the Speakers for some time. Don't know the exact reason yet.

I've noticed the problem as this (for me at least):

I start TeamSpeak, then start TS2OSD. Everything works fine while running normal desktop applications. Then I start UT2004 and it stops displaying who's talking. It doesn't resume showing who's talking until someone else enters or leaves the room, then it starts working again without any interference from me. Weird. Haven't tried it with any other games yet.

EDIT: Forgot to mention my specs (if it helps):
Slackware-Current
gcc 3.3.3
xosd 2.2.5
TeamSpeak 2.0.32.60
XFree86 4.4
2.6.6 Kernel

Mine is edited but it gives weird error im running on gentoo 2004.3 amd64 system and this is my output

/opt/teamspeak2-client/client_sdk/libTSRemote.so.0.4: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

heres what i edited
# Path to Teamspeak (needed for Remote-Lib)
# e.g.: TsPath = /home/matthias/apps/TeamSpeak2RC2
TsPath = /opt/teamspeak2-client

again i emerged ts in gentoo and it works fine ..... the directory where it was placed was /opt/teamspeak2-client

Gentoo 2004.3 amd64
Soundblaster live value
xosd 2.2.8
TeamSpeak 2.0.32.60
2.6.8 Kernel
