RW is one of the available voice communication programs. You have it running in the background while playing UT and can talk to your buddies. It doesn't take much additional bandwidth and even modem users can use it.
Many clans use it (or simular programs) and so does mine. Great to coordinate teamplay and to discuss during training. Much simpler than typing all the time.

Thanks Cleaner!
RW or something similar is a hot topic in our meetings lately. We have 9 broadband users, but 2 56K users, and I've been worried that they would be left out or would have climbing pings or packet loss as a result. Can you tell me it really doesn't have an effect on gameplay even for 56Kers? They both have nice, fast computers, if that helps, just no cable or dsl is ready where they live.
Also, how does it work. Do you buy a cheap headset or do you use a microphone on top of the monitor, or what? I'm assuming you bind a key and then hit while you want to talk, right? Otherwise, I think it would get VERY confusing if it was an always on kind of thing. And if that's the case, can you bind a teamsay and a regular say?
Cleaner, I always appreciate your posts, as you're a very knowledgeable and articulate guy. All this for free? I love this forum!

Rw
A friend of mine and I tried it once and were underwhelmed. Guess its not good for 1on1 DM. Any way, I can see it being a godsend for CTF AS or DOM

Ive used it before with some guys in a clan.
i thought it was great.
im on 56k and didnt notice a huge ping loss.
i liked it, but its hard to find people using it.
we should have some rw servers for fragpu, that would rock, especially ctf, communication would increase 10 fold.
even if were going to chat it would be great, no more typing, but you would have to try to take turns speaking.

RW as well as the other tools take very little bandwidth. I used it with 56k modem and experienced no problem. You will usually use RW or the other tools to connect to buddies and coordinate teamplay. It takes some discipline to speak loud and clear and not to babble too much; otherwise it is more hindrance than help. I'm afraight in a game with strangers, it would be chaotic and not useful at all. And imagine all the BS and flaming that you often read in the chatbox in UT, but *spoken*. OMG, please no. I wonder how this problem will be solved when more games with voice chat will be out.
You will usually use headphones for RW, otherwise you hear an echo from the speakers. You can press a key or use voice activation. There is no teamsay, but some of the tools have various 'channels', that you can define and connect to. Some of the tools have public servers that you can use to meet and talk to strangers.
Entropica,
thanks for the kudo. Very often the things that I post here are just copied-pasted from the site in my signature. Browse it and you should find lots of useful stuff. And ... yes, it is free.

RW is cool especially in the team games... myself and several buddies of mine use it when we play on public servers... It would be cool if more PuFers used it...

Currently we use Firetalk - it's not the best, but it seems to be the best sound quality. Couple people have issues with all of them, BattleCom, TeamStream, RogerWilco, Firetalk.. all have drawbacks - but one this is for sure, they can seriously improve a clan's game.
I doubt it will do anything to help a public match as then you've got to have someone hosting the server and then people have to join it for that particular server/game.
I don't see it happenin'

agreeing with Rooster...
Rooster is correct... on a public server it just won't happen...
However, if you stop in #planetunreal you may be able to get several PuFers to join a game together ... RW (or any other program) could then be used to help cooridnate activity... or just talk smack!

hell yeah
The new roger wilco is so much better than the last one. It solved all ISV-K's issues with the old version and my ping diesnt go up at all

Would you like to see me dance?
Ci use Battlecom, we tried RW, Teamsound and BC, BC was the best for clarity out of the lot.
It's a good laugh when we are just chillin and not playing, it's helpful when you are playing, all in all it's a worthwhile proggy
(Ok shadowfactor, can i have my ten quid now?)

I just went out at lunch today to buy a mic/headset for RW. (Voice activated mic., as button pushing to talk is a pain.)
I personally tried it for the first time last night, just screwing around. It'll be great in a match as long as the talking is kept to a minimum.

I have RW aswell, but I have yet to actually play a match using it.
I like the idea of a public server. But I think that it would be better if we had a number of different servers for friendly FFA games. This is because there isnt gona be just one game on at one time, and I doubt u wana be listening to someone from an entirely different match!
It could be just somethin like channel PuF1-5 (or wot ever number of servers there are). We could get Hal to list the channels on the PuF homepage, if we can get the lazy git to do it that is.
Then when in #planetunreal we can get anyone using the particular chat program to join an empty channel and away we go.
All we need is some dedicated ppl to get em up and running for us to log in when we need to use them.

No
IMO, Perfectly set binds works better than wilco...
if you think about it a bind takes 0.3 seconds to do, to say sumthing takes 1.2 seconds.. and those seconds count..
in AOC Ruiner and me seem to have the best binds.. ive perfected mine over time... and once you play together as a team you know each other.. so you know what to do when a guy binds sumthing...
-This is my take

Its ok for you lot who have 50 custom binds for every possible scenario that could happen, but wot about everyone else that has to stop and make themselves open to fire while they type out a half arsed instruction that may get messed up as they try to speed type and get back into the action as quickly as possible. Hell there are plenty of ppl out there that dont even have a single speech bind wot so ever!
And some ppl wonder why there is such a lack of communication in the game!
And anyway, most ppl would probably just use it for fun. Not every match is as organised as a clan match ya know!

Blender is in his fantasy world again.
I have binds for most major maps that my clan plays. I have 8 map specific binds for each (and 10 generic ones). Even that does not cover all the circumstances that I can find myself in.
You can be MUCH more detailed in verbal communication than one or two keys can ever do.
So Blender, I think you're a little too full of yourself when you say you have the best binds.
