Fubar_VoiceChatFu anyone?
 

Anyone care to write a simple fubar mod to do two things, perhaps:

1) Display the name of the person currently speaking

2) On left-click, toggle voice chat on/off

There's one that shows who's talking in vent/TS. I think it was updated to show who's talking in the raid. It's called VoiceFu.

Hmm....doesn't seem to show who's talking with voice chat.

There should be a draggable window built into WOW that does it for the voice chat feature, but I don't think anyone has yet coded an addon to change it.

If I am right voice_fu requires everyone to use the add-on for it to work so everyone on vent would need to have it installed and bind the key they use for vent to the add-on also, then when you press to talk the add-on lets everyone else who is using the add-on know who's talking, it also will separate the RL and Officers from normal members in that box.
:D Hope this helps :D

I'm not an author by any means....has wow built in hooks to be able to see who is speaking? I'm sure they have?

Should be a simple addon, maybe one worth trying to write :/

Good idea, because one you could replace the voice chat minimap icon with the fubar icon, two: Blizzard DOES tell you who's talking so it could show you that too, 3: Would let you change the settings and push-to-talk keybinding via the fubar icon. I think it's a good idea, I hope someone makes it.

I'll give it a shot. I have programmed before, just not in LUA.

Any pointers to get me started?

Like....where do i find API calls that have to do with voice chat?

Rip apart the default UI, or hit up wowwiki.com

check wowwiki.com for the api. If it has been updated.

Sounds like a solid idea. good luck

Yep the UI pack data has been updated to the latest patch. You can get it here:

The files you want to look into are VoiceChat.lua and VoiceOptionsFrame.lua.
For instance you will find a couple of new interesting events to register:
VOICE_START, VOICE_STOP, VOICE_LEFT_SESSION, VOICE_SESSIONS_UPDATE...
