Voicechat test bot/server

[Hoirtel]

Its so hard to troubleshoot voice chat with individual people, never quite sure if the issue is with either client or server. Is it possible to get a test bot enabled? That way each client could go off and individually check if the bot can hear them and they can hear the bot. Perhaps just a GUI representation of a lobby and a radio. I assume these are done differently has prior to last patch the radio modes broke entirely while the lobby still worked.

I know there is the mic test, but not sure that is doing the same thing, as I have just finished a session with total broken comms, couldn't hear either of us in lobby or radio. But the mic tests were working.. I could see the other persons' green speaker lighting up and we could see the radio transmissions coming through. I have used voice chat with with others recently so I know it has worked, but just can't quite figure out which of us needs to go off and mess about with settings!

SRS has something similar with a dedicated testing frequency where it outputs the users transmission as if made by a second user, allowing you to hear your own transmission. Very useful for troubleshooting a range of issues. I support something similar and agree that current troubleshooting is a pain.
