"Radio chat" outside of positional talk distance. Is it possible?

[CSOCSO-FL]

Hey. Idea: or more or less a question:

Positional chit chat is awesome. Love it. but in some games, we do get far away from each other. Is there a way to make it like if we are close enough we can hear each other with the positional audio but once we are out of proximity it would automatically switch over to "Radio chat" .It could even have the cb radio " krsh" sound effect in the beginning and end? And this radio chat could be full stereo. ( no positioning) and maybe a even lower in volume just a tad bit so it doesn't overpower positional chat?

It would certainly be possible. However, I don't think the result would be too convincing without a lot of effort. The reason being that when charring over the radio, people don't tend to converse normally. Bur if the radio effect is simply added automatically, people will most likely do just that and then the "krsh" sound would be all over the place because of people starting and stopping speaking again and again.

Plus, I see complications when using any transmit mode other than PTT.

I believe that something like this would be best to implement on a per-plugin basis as then the desired effect could be adapted to the respective context and potentially even synced with what is going on in the game. For an example have a look at the "ACRE2" mod for Arma 3 (which incidentally also has a Mumble plugin in Alpha status)
