# How to change VOIP Settings for your VEIN Server

How to enabled/change PvP setting for your VEIN server. 

**VEIN** servers include a variety of unique **voice chat (VOIP)** options that enhance gameplay and immersion. These settings control features like **facial animation strength**, **AI reaction to player voice**, and **push-to-talk behavior**.

Customizing VOIP settings can improve communication for cooperative players or add new tension to **PvP environments**, where speaking in proximity might alert nearby NPCs. Adjusting these parameters allows you to tailor your server’s experience to your community’s preferred playstyle.

## How to Change VOIP Settings via Nodecraft

1. Locate your **Nodecraft** dashabord and open your **VEIN** server panel.
2. Click **Stop** to safely shut down your server.

**Note: Always stop your server before editing configuration files. This ensures changes are saved and applied correctly.**

3. Navigate to the **Server Files** tab.  
4. Open the following directory: `/home/container/Vein/Saved/Config/LinuxServer`

5. Locate and open the `Engine.ini` file.  
6. On a new line, add the section header: \]`[ConsoleVariables]`

**Under that header, add or modify any desired VOIP settings using the options below**:

| Setting | Description |
| --- | --- |
| vein.VOIP.AlertAI = 1.000000 | Enables AI to detect and react to player voice. |
| vein.VOIP.BypassCompression = 1.000000 | Tests VOIP input by bypassing compression. |
| vein.VOIP.FacialStrength = 8.000000 | Adjusts the strength of facial animation during speech. |
| vein.VOIP.FFTMouths = 1.000000 | Enables spectrum analysis for more detailed facial animation. |
| vein.VOIP.Loopback = 1.000000 | Allows you to hear your own voice playback. |
| vein.VOIP.PTT = 1.000000 | Enables push-to-talk (set to 0.000000 for open mic). |
| vein.VOIP.PTTDelay = 0.200000 | Sets the delay (in seconds) after releasing push-to-talk. |
| vein.VOIP.RadioLoopback = 1.000000 | Plays your voice back over the in-game radio. |
| vein.VOIP.SelfTransmit = 1.000000 | Determines if VOIP transmits to yourself for testing. |
| vein.VOIP.StarvationTime = 3.000000 | Controls the buffer time before old VOIP data stops playing. |
| vein.VOIP.UnderflowMinSamples = 0.000000 | Adjusts audio buffer samples — lower values reduce delay but may cause stutters. |
| vein.VOIP.VolumeMultiplier = 3.000000 | Sets the default voice volume multiplier. |

7. Click **Save** once your edits are complete.

8. **Start** your server.

Your new VOIP settings will take effect once the server restarts.

## Troubleshooting Tips

If voice chat isn’t behaving as expected after editing VOIP settings:

- **Voice Chat Not Working**

  - Double-check that all VOIP settings were added under the `[ConsoleVariables]` section.
  - Ensure your server was restarted after saving the file.
- **Audio Sounds Distorted or Laggy**

  - Try lowering `vein.VOIP.VolumeMultiplier` or increasing `vein.VOIP.UnderflowMinSamples`.
  - Check your internet connection for latency issues affecting audio.
- **AI Not Reacting to Player Voice**

  - Confirm that `vein.VOIP.AlertAI` is set to `1.000000`.
  - Restart the server to ensure the change is applied.
- **Changes Not Saving**

  - Make sure you clicked **Save File** before restarting.
  - Stop the server again and reapply settings if necessary.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, you can revert to the default VOIP configuration by removing the edited lines and restarting your server.

## Conclusion

Customizing your VOIP settings in VEIN allows for a more dynamic and immersive multiplayer experience. Whether you’re creating a tense PvP world where speaking could attract danger, or a cooperative survival server where communication is key, adjusting these options through Nodecraft gives you full control over how players interact through voice.
