Set User's Phonetic Sound

kvnhmmd · 09-30-2008, 02:12 PM

As you know, there are some users who have annoying phonetic sounds. However, some users have phonetics that help pronounce their names better.

So if you turn off your phonetic sounds entirely in your options, you wont have phonetics for channels, or users where you want to hear phonetics from.

What I would like to see, is an option, where you can right-click someone's name, and set a phonetic sound for the, which only you will hear on your side.

I know server admins can revoke permissions for certain users to use phonetics, but not every server has accounts for each user, and I am not admin of every server I talk on.

Anybody agree on custom user-side phonetic sounds?

I would like to see this feature also. Some of the people I'm on with set up their phonetics and they sound fine but most do not and the program butchers their game ID's. It would definitely be handy to at least correct it for myself so I hear their game name correctly.

I guess it will take some time for them to take this into consideration.
