Ventrilo Push to Talk Script

[SBFC]

Don't know if anyone else has this luck. But I don't need this script, my push to talk as long as i'm in a wine window, ie WoW, push to talk works for me. I am using 1.14 of wine.

The purpose of this script is to enable the use of push-to-talk when you don't have a Wine window active.

Push-to-talk has always worked with a Wine window active.

My bad. And no it hasn't, back pre 1.0 days, I had an old script (found on the Gentoo WIKI) that enabled push to talk for wine. Sorry I misunderstood.

This is great, I finally have vent PTT working, thanks!

However, if I wanted to change my PTT key to something else, what do I do? If I run the .py file it just loads up my last setting.

If you exit the script via Ctrl+C it will delete the settings file. If you want to do it manually just delete the .pyvent.pkl file from your home directory.

Works like a charm, thank you Nate!!

(Using vent through codeweavers' crossover office and followed the instructions on the starting post for this thread.)

Important to note, you must have a working microphone setup in vent for your PTT to work

Also anyone know a good way to run this script when i first start Vent so i dont have to fire the script manually?

What i did was;

sudo gedit /usr/bin/vent

xmodmap -e "clear Lock"
cd /home/enes/Ventrilo
wine Ventrilo.exe &
PID="$!"
sleep 1
pyvent.py 2 66 &
wait $PID
pkill -f pyvent.py

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/vent

I use caps lock, first line makes caps lock key to not be able to change caps status
My pyvent.py is also in /usr/bin folder.

For some reason, when I'm prompted to press a key, nothing happens... nothing at all.

I have a logitec G5 and an IBM Model M keyboard, but I can never get any output...

joker@Monolith:~$ cd ./Documents
joker@Monolith:~/Documents$ python2.5 pyvent.py

Required arguments not supplied so
will run findkey.

Running findkey...
Press the key or mouse button you wish to
have as your PTT and findkey will tell you
the command to execute.
Press Ctrl-C to exit.
^C
Bye.
