Abstract

Conference Kill is a Quake2 proxy program that lets you pass private text messages and prerecorded sound messages to other CK users on your private team. Messages appear in a Quake2 game as say text or may be centerprinted for easier viewing. Text and audio messages are sent directly to the members of your CK team - they do not pass through the Quake2 server. CK users may send sound requests from inside a Quake2 game which will play immediately for all CK users on the private team who have that sound file. These sounds can alert teammates of danger, give instruction, or just be fun. CK is also highly integrated with mIRC, and it lets you chat with people on your clan's IRC channel as easily as you chat with other players in the game. Unlike realtime voice, the sound macros used should already exist in each teammates sound directory so that valuable bandwidth is not consumed. CK adds a whole new dimension to team communication and group strategy.
