Scroll Lock LED

Can anyone add this suggestion to or make a small add in for TeamSpeak (3) that sets the scroll lock keyboard led off, and toggles it's state when the PTT (Push To Talk) key is pressed (and released), the same way the Teamspeak and Tray icons light up when you are broadcasting.

The reason I'm asking this is because you cannot see the aforementioned icons ingame, yet the Scroll Lock LED on the keyboard (If it has one) is almost always visable.

I got this idea from a Messenger Plus Live script, that flashes the Scroll Lock LED when you get a new messenger message.

Keyboard event 145 iirc.

It would be nice to see this as part of teamspeak (3) too.

Many thanks in advance,
Coolio.

Sounds like this would be perfect for a plug-in. I like the idea Unfortunately I cannot write a plug-in but maybe someone else has the knowledge to do this.

Looking at the Plugin SDK info, I get this...

----------
Other events
When a client starts or stops talking, a talk status change event is sent by the server:

void onTalkStatusChangeEvent( serverConnectionHandlerID,
status,
isReceivedWhisper,
clientID);

uint64 serverConnectionHandlerID;
int status;
int isReceivedWhisper;
anyID clientID;


Parameters

serverConnectionHandlerID

ID of the server connection handler on which the event occured.

status

Possible return values are defined by the enum TalkStatus:

enum TalkStatus {
STATUS_NOT_TALKING = 0,
STATUS_TALKING = 1,
STATUS_TALKING_WHILE_DISABLED = 2,
};
STATUS_TALKING and STATUS_TALKING are triggered everytime a client starts or stops talking. STATUS_TALKING_WHILE_DISABLED is triggered only if the microphone is muted. A client application might use this to implement a mechanism warning the user he is talking while not sending to the server or just ignore this value.

isReceivedWhisper

1 if the talk event was caused by whispering, 0 if caused by normal talking.

clientID

ID of the client who started or stopped talking.
----------

I believe that comparing the clients id with the speakers, to confirm the user is talking, alongside using status <1 and >0 to toggle the scroll lock led 0/1 off/on should be possible.

It must be able to handle keyboard events as you can use mute and ptt keys...

TeamSpeak plugin developers this should be an easy one...

I have found some code which should allow the Scroll Lock LED functionality, but I'm currently struggling to get my compiler working properly.

If anyone can make this plugin I can either post the sub code here or forward it by PM.

I was thinking about this suggestion and came up with an additional improvement...

Scroll Lock LED:
Off - Default.
Flashing - During any broadcast. (Except...)
On - During self PTT and VOX broadcast.

Come on there has to be someone who can write this plugin.

That's awesome sKeLeTr0n! Thanks for doing the "hard" work so the rest of us can enjoy it

[Coolio Wolfus]

I hope everyone that uses it votes for it in the addon comp.

Once I can get at it...I'll post a review here,

Thanks in advance tho sKeLeTr0n.

Ty, you had the scroll lock code handy?

[sKeLeTr0n]

I just simulated a keypress event:]

Cool, you want me to dig up the C/C++ code I have and PM you it?

[sKeLeTr0n]

what c code???? but yes, for sure
