    Hey,

    finally someone brings my beloved SideWinder back to life :)
    Does this plugin also work (or should at least) for Win8?
    It runs in my virtual machine (Win7 x86) fine, but not on my real PC (Win8 x64); "Failed to open plugin."

      Hello,

      Hum didn't test it on Win8. I think it is not a Windows 8 problem but rather a missing dependency (library). I had the same problem on some Windows 7. I will check and fix that.

    Whoop,

    Sorry for this delay, I didn't check it yet. My computer with my testing stuff was returned to dell for a repair. It's now back and I'll check it soon.

    Please check with this release (0.10a) on your Windows 7 and Windows 8 (64bits version as well).

    It works on my 2 Windows 7.

    I'll publish this version if it works on your machines.

    Hey,

    I tested it. The plugin can now be loaded but the buttons are not recognized by Teamspeak as hotkeys.
    For some system and environment information, have a look at this screenshot

    The buttons flash as expected when reloading the plugins and also at Teamspeak startup.
    But at when going to
    Teamspeak -> Settings -> Options -> Hotkeys -> Add -> "no hotkey assigned" button
    no button of the Gamevoice pad is recognized as hotkey. I tried it with "Standard", "Direct Input" and "Only Keyboard & Mouse", also made sure to press "Apply" afterwards, but without success. As can be seen at this screenshot.

    I hope this information helps. If you need any further information, please just post it here as request.

      Hi,

      Glad to know the plugin is loaded on Windows 8. Thanks for the screenshots and your reply.

      The buttons are not yet recognized as hotkeys, it is not supported for the moment.

      Until v3 (v0.10 here ;)) the buttons are hard-binded to these functions as you can read on the homepage and in the gamevoice.txt shipped with the plugin :

      • TS microphone mute via mute toggle button
      • TS sound mute via the command button
      • Join a server in bookmark via the ALL and TEAM buttons
      • Just name your bookmark ALL and TEAM

      First reason, I have to understand how the TS hotkeys api is working (not so hard I guess). But the main reason is : I want to be sure that my code don't put the device in a non-attended state caused by hotkeys bindings.
      Since it's hard coded for the moment, I control what is happenning between the device and TS ;)

      These functions works for you ?

      I'am not in v1 yet because I can't make it work on 32bits plateforms. I have to found why my code dont find the device on theses. Then I'll clean the code and put it online.

      Joe.

    Ahh, I see. Appearently I missed that part while browsing the textfile.
    Yes, all functions work as specified.
    I am looking forward for this development, especially v2. Really could use those whisperlists :)
    At least two of them, one for all(disabling whisperlist) and one for team ;)

      Thanks, good to know it is working on another device and computer.

      I published the 0.10a version in the files.

      I'll work on the next version this summer I guess, I'll have more time. At least to release a stable v1 version. Then the v2 will come fast, I already did a small amount of work for the whispering functions.

      Let's end this discussion here since it is working on Windows 8 (and 7).

      Don't hesitate to post your suggestions or remarks in the feature request section ;)
      If you seek informations or support about the plugin, you can create a new discussion in the bug and support section.

    Hey, I just discovered my GameVoice in some old boxes I was sorting though and wondered what state any drivers were in (for Win 8 64). Seeing this post, I think I need to go grab it from the box where I left it...

    Good work JoeBilly, appreciated.

      Thank you for your support, it is just a teamspeak plugin but it's something ;)

      Personally, I'am using it since 15 years and I still find it usefull and a good piece of hardware. Even the design is pretty great for me. It means a lot.
      Microsoft, we miss your hardware ;)

      About Windows 8, since it is a plugin, if teamspeak 3 work, this plugin should (and "have to" I would say;)) work.
