How It Works

GameVox GameLink connects your alt:V server to GameVox voice chat

Proximity Voice

Players hear nearby voices that fade with distance. Voice range is adjustable from whisper (3m) to shout (15m) to megaphone (32m).

3D Spatial Audio

Hear players in stereo based on their direction relative to you. Voices come from the left, right, or center depending on where they are.

Native WebSocket

Uses alt:V's built-in WebSocket support for a direct connection to GameVox. No browser overlay needed — lightweight and efficient.

Open GameVox and join the same voice channel as your alt:V friends.

Launch alt:V

Launch alt:V and join the server. GameVox detects alt:V automatically and activates proximity voice. You'll hear nearby players get louder and quieter as you move around.

Cycle Voice Range

Press F1 to cycle between voice ranges:

3m Whisper 8m Normal 15m Shout 32m Megaphone

Megaphone

Hold B to activate the megaphone, which extends your voice range to 100m. Release to return to normal range. Useful for announcements or roleplay scenarios.

Configuration

Customize voice ranges and update intervals in the Config object in client/client.js and server/server.js

const Config = {
    ServerUniqueIdentifier: "gamevox",

    // Voice ranges in game units (meters)
    VoiceRanges: [3.0, 8.0, 15.0, 32.0],

    // Default voice range index (0-based, 1 = 8m normal)
    DefaultVoiceRangeIndex: 1,

    // Position update interval in milliseconds
    UpdateInterval: 280,

    // Distance multiplier for including players beyond max range
    DistanceMultiplier: 1.3,

    // Show voice range notification when cycling
    ShowVoiceRangeNotification: true,

    // Megaphone: hold-to-use keybind that extends voice range
    MegaphoneRange: 100.0
};

Game Overlay

See who's talking without leaving your game

Overlay Modes

The GameVox overlay shows voice channel participants over your game. With 5 or fewer participants, it shows everyone with avatars, names, and speaking indicators.

With 6+ participants, the overlay switches to speaking-only mode:

Speaking — green text with a sound wave icon
Recently spoke — white text, visible for 3 seconds
Silent — removed after 3 seconds
When nobody is talking, shows "X users in voice"

The overlay dynamically resizes based on visible speakers. Position, size, opacity, and the speaking-mode threshold are all configurable in GameVox Settings > Game Overlay.
