Vent server?

[Mahn]

I figured since majority of people wanted one, you got it. Now, this isn't going to be a free ride. Below, I will let you know how to set it up.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Download this, run it, and install the Ventrilo Client.
www.ventrilo.com/download.php -- Client 2.3.0 for Windows.

1) Run Ventrilo and in the main window, add your username. This is what people will identify you by.

2) Add a server. IP - 24.116.234.89, Port - 3784, Password - FFTHG. Everything below that should be checked, click ok.

3) Goto setup and make sure the "Push-To-Talk hotkey" is enabled. Then below where it says hotkey, click on the box then push the hotkey to use. You hold this key down, speak, then let go. This makes it alot easier then voice activated and hearing stuff we don't want to know.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other users might not be able to hear you so if that problem arrises, try this. In your little section on the bottom right where it shows your processes running(like msn messenger, byond, etc etc), right click on the icon that says "Volume", then select "open volume control". Once inside, goto options in the top left and make sure "advanced controls" is check-marked. After it is, on the right section under microphone, click a button called "Advanced", make sure the option called "Microphone Boost" is check-marked. If, a problem arrises and you can not get it the "advanced controls" to check-mark under "Options"...then try to contact Stryfe or he can post it here. He went around it to check-mark the "Microphone Boost" and can let ya'll know how to do it also.


Hope to see people using the Ventrilo server soon.

I take it this is no longer up?

[Mahn]

Noone would ever use it so I took it down. I can put it back up though if people will actually use it...

[Rand]

If other people are actually on it I'll definitely keep it on. Most of the time it was just you, me, Conny, and taterz once that I saw.

[Hiroshima]

i wasn't around that often when it was up, annnnnnd yea thats about as much input as i can give on that >_>

[Taterz]

i stopped going because teamspeak sucks =/. i could BARELY understand anything being said by anyone at all, ever.

if we had a ventrilo server, i'd be on far more often. at least on there i know i'll be able to understand more than 5 seconds of talk.

You going to pay for the vent server, tatz? Last time I checked, for free, you only get like a 10-20 person limit to be on your vent server. If many a people going to get back and use it, 10-20 might not be enough. I guess, I can always see what I can do but don't show THAT much hope.

even if its 10-20 limit, i highly doubt we'll see more than 8 people on a regular basis. people will just come and go, not talk, etc.

but that server makes me happy in the pants =P

If the server gets a lot of consistent traffic (Especially when we get the new version out, you know how the influx of people will be with that) then I will pay for the upgrade of the server myself.
