Mumble

Initial Wiki page on development of an alternative voice module for OpenSim

 Mumble - Murmur - Whisper 

Initial information is available via these links:

• http://whisper.vcomm.ch/forum
  • Initial Version 27-Dec-2010 - http://whisper.vcomm.ch/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=62
  • Instructions in French - http://angefg.wordpress.com/
• http://mumble.sourceforge.net/

The Whisper solution from vComm was the idea of Volker Gaessler, founder of vComm, and works by replacing the SLVoice.exe executable with a Mumble client that looks exactly the same to the viewer process. A process to change between the standard Vivox SLVoice.exe executable and the Mumble one within any specific viewer installation is available.

You will use the unchanged Mumble server (called Murmur) and a region module called MurmurVoice. Communication is over ICE. The module including instructions will be available when the source code is published.

Firewall Information

You only need to open the port(s) mentioned in your OpenSim.ini and murmur.ini files.
