Tools for debugging remote user positions (in positional audio)?

[hiinaspace]

Is there any existing tooling to inspect the position of all users participating in the positional audio system? Like the "Positional Audio Viewer" in the Developer menu, but for everyone, not just the local user.

I see that the data gets sent over the wire as Audio.positionalData https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/blob/master/src/MumbleUDP.proto#L39 , so I could sniff the packets, though I'm hoping somebody else has already done something similar.

Context: I made this link plugin to set the OpenVR headset pose as the link pose, but it's really hard to tell if I actually got the orientation correct.

Check out the Configure Dialog for the "Manual placement" plugin. It does not display the exact values, but at least a visual representation.

No, the manual placement plugin only works when using the manual placement plugin on all clients.

Afaik there is no tool to visualize all positions for a general plugin feed 🤔

[Hartmnt]

Huh, are you sure? I always thought you would see other clients as long as you adapt the Context string in the manual placement plugin 👀

[Krzmbrzl]

Oh right, if you manually set the context to a suitable value, it might indeed work

Thanks for the hint; I did finally get it working by setting both the name of my link plugin to "Manual placement" and the context in the manual plugin to the same thing I was using; that's enough state for mumble to think the custom link plugin is the manual placement.

I also had to artificially scale the position in my plugin by 100 to actually see the remote player move, since the manual placement config window is 1px = 1 meter, with no way to change it.

Would definitely be nicer to have a standalone debugging tool this, but it's better than nothing.
