[beta channel] TeamSpeak 3 Client 3.0.7

[Peter]

The TeamSpeak 3 Client 3.0.7 is available for beta testing in the beta channel.

One important update is we have added an alternative hotkey system for Windows (see hotkey settings), we are hoping for some feedback about reliability/stability. If you have some time for it, please test to see if both of them work fine on your system and report your findings.

Full Changelog:

=== Client Release 3.0.7 21 Jun 2012
! Plugin API changed to 17
+ Added away hotkey with away message.
+ Added toolbar buttons set and delete for avatars.
+ Added saving of ban duration for presets.
+ Added ... tags for chat to prevent text in between beeing
  replaced with emoticons. Note: It's strict so both tags have to be found!
+ Exported temporary password functions to Plugin API
+ New getClientDisplayname function in Plugin API (client name including custom
  nickname, as configured in the contacts)
+ Added special return value of -2 to Plugin init function. See test plugin for
  details. This return value should only be used in very rare situations.
+ Added two(windows only) additional hotkey systems for keyboard and mouse for
  testing. The RawInput system can also handle joysticks and gamepads. Existing
  hotkeys will be backed up and converted to make them also usable for the new
  systems.
+ Added dialog when trying to send a server chat without permission.
+ Added new channel description preview (work in progress) which is a
  replacement for the WYSIWYG editor.
+ Added "Enter Chat Message..." info text to chat field.
+ Added context menu to ban out of complainlist.
+ Added hotkeys to activate/deactivate/toggle 3D sound.
+ Added close Tab on middle mouse button.
+ Added readable error message if send to channel chat fails due to permission.
+ Added possibility to use custom country flag icons: If the folder
  gfx/customCountries exists, country icons will be loaded from this folder,
  otherwise as before from gfx/countries. gfx/customCountries won't be over-
  written again from updater.
* Styles can now change the color of the newsticker text, see Bluesky style for
  an example.
* Style authors: Chat line "Enter chat message" color now can be overwritten.
  See existing default.qss style for example.
* Swapped skip/negated column in permission overview so it's the same order as
  in the permissions tree.
* Request to start createfileassoc.exe to add .ts3_addon etc. file associations
  to the registry can now be skipped with "Ignore" button.
* Mac OS X: Migrated config location from ~/.ts3client to ~/Library/Application
  Support/TeamSpeak 3. The folder will automatically be moved the first time
  TeamSpeak starts, if the old folder exists and the new folder does not exist.
* Warn user when connecting to a server and the server UID has changed in
  comparison to the stored value in the bookmark.
* Compress command packets to reduce network traffic (voice and filetransfer
  will not be affected)
- Running createfileassoc.exe will restore file associations to original if the
  user had changed them manually in Windows explorer.
- Fixed copy to clipboard ts3file:// link tagging.
- Fixed some whisperlist dialog issues.
- Fixed some issues when deleting animated avatars.
- Empty banner files will be automatically removed so the client can retry
  downloading the banner.
- Fixed creating empty registry key in HKCU\Software on client start.
- Install path in package installer can now be manually edited.
- Tweaked package installer window size, was too small on Mac OS X.
- Package installer now asks if the installed addon should be activated.
  Requires to restart TeamSpeak client to actually activate the addon.
- Fixed crash when using stylesheet helper hotkey on its own tooltip.
- Volume control plugin has been removed for now, there are too many issues
  for too many users. The updater will automatically delete the DLL.
- Improved subscribe and local mute functions called by Plugins, they will
  now do exactly the same like triggering the action via client UI.
- Fixed comboboxes in connect dialog and bookmarks which returned invalid
  text when elided (including the "...", which resulted in invalid identities
  or profiles).
- Fixed disabling "Rename" and "Delete" contextmenu in server-/channelgroup
  permission windows. Requires server 3.0.6 or above.
- Fixed disabling the servergroup menuitems in a clients contextmenu, checking
  own i_group_member_add_power against each i_group_needed_member_add_power.
- Fixed default value of "Play only important sounds when muted" dropdown in
  the notifications setup.
- Disable all elements in the permissions window on anti-flood error to avoid
  leaving the permissions in an invalid state. The user needs to wait some
  seconds and then klick "Reload" to refresh dialog.
- Mac: Fixed crash when releasing a dragged tree item after disconnecting.
- Fixed client ignoring force-ptt permission when connecting to a server
  without capture profile.
- Fixed away message in tree not checking the "Ignore away message" setting
  from contacts manager.
- Not possible to send empty complains anymore.
- Fixed an issue when marking multiple offline messages as unread.
- Fixed appending wrong server chat log.
- Fixed checking folder entries on existing before opening otherwise it will be
  reset to default home dir.
- Fixed channel description preview close.
- Fixed setting channel description which was wrong on sub channels.
- Fixed messing up radioboxes in capture setup when creating new profiles.
- Fixed extracting URLs on history messages broken by   spaces.

On my laptop that I control through Synergy program (keyboard is attached to desktop) I can not use the Windows Hooks option. Both Direct and Raw input appear to work with a quick test. All modes appear to work on the desktop.

Laptop: Windows 7 Ultimate
Desktop: Windows 7 Pro
Keyboard: Razer Tron Keyboard.
Keyboard "spanning app": Synergy 1.4.2

[RicoH]

Thanks for the info.

Does the log at least say that WinHooksMonitoring has been enabled?

[SilentStorm]

ChatBox Context Menu is screwed due to the new default Text in there. See attached Image. It becomes a regular readable Context Menu again once you enter some text but it should always be.

I'd also like to point out the new default text is rather distracting. I keep switching to TS thinking I missed to send a Message / forgot to delete the message I was typing but decided not to send. So yeah I'd really like to see an Option to turn this damn thing off!
I don't mind having this as an Option at all, even active by default I don't care as long as I can disable it!

+ Added new channel description preview (work in progress) which is a replacement for the WYSIWYG editor.

Ok. At last!! Thank you for the solution.

Beer and Coke for everybody. I invite!

[ThomasTailor93]

Is this error fixed with it?

I will have to wait until Tuesday to test that. Not back to work where that setup is until then.

  systems.

Ok, in Settings --> Options --> Hotkeys they appear tree radio button:
Direct input
Raw input
Window hooks

but no explanation about their funcionality.
At least a tooltip to guide the user.

Yes, this should be fixed. The forum thread is resolved.

but no explanation about their funcionality.

This also does recognize your hokteys only. And windows hook allows to block a hotkey, for all other applications. This is for testing only!

Added into our bugtracker. Thanks for your help.

Added into our bugtracker. Thanks for your help.

Even though the text looks disabled I can click on Paste or Paste & Sent and it works.

[Screech]

Thanks for the info.

Yes

5/30/2012 08:56:44	Input	Info	DirectInputMonitoring disabled	
5/30/2012 08:56:44	Input	Info	WinHooksMonitoring enabled

I plan to test with my G25 wheel and the Raw Input mode when I get time. In the past I've used the Logitech software to map a button on the wheel to F6 for talking and had a hotkey profile for playing NFS:W.

[Screech]

Not a big deal but a note. If you use Synergy program you can't use Windows Hooks on the system the keyboard and mouse are connected to as you can't move the mouse pointer off of the host to the other systems anymore. Appears that TS3 takes Windows Hooks priority from Synergy. Not tested if I start Synergy after TS3....

[RicoH]

Thanks for the info.

We have to dig a little deeper for that to see what's happening under the hood but its on low priority.

Edit by dante
I can reproduce, that the hotkeys won't be recognized, as long Windows Hook is active in targets client.
I create a ticket for that behavior, but i can not say, if this is fixable from our side as said above

[dante696]

A new beta has been released today.
Please leave some feedback for us

- Known bug > The field for password on a channel stays red, even when force password was removed, while the edit/create dialog for a channel stays opened.
