Monty Posted April 29, 2009 #1 Posted April 29, 2009 I have created a Teamspeak server just for Venturerider members. It's like chat, only you speak instead of typing. It works great, and as many people can be on it as I allow at one time. Great for getting on and just shooting the bull. You can get it at www.teamspeak.com . You'll want to download the client, not the server. You will need either a headset with microphone, or a microphone with speakers. It is completely free. If you download it, and need help setting it up, just PM me, or catch me in the chat room, and I will talk you through it. My IP is monty.servegame.org the port is 8767 no password for now.
Monty Posted April 29, 2009 Author #2 Posted April 29, 2009 I put together a basic tutorial to get you connected after you download and install. when you open it up, you will see this page... http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/13thAFMonterey/TSconnect.jpg Click on 'connect'. Then you will see this page... http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/13thAFMonterey/addserver.jpg Click on 'add server, and then name it ventureriders. Then, set the next page up as I have it here, with your name instead of mine, and hit connect... http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/13thAFMonterey/Serverinfo.jpg
Monty Posted April 29, 2009 Author #3 Posted April 29, 2009 I have had it down all day, but putting it back up now. Any interest besides Yama Mama? C'mon guys, this is a great program. We can all sit and talk as if we were on a conference call...for free! It is great fun.
Yama Mama Posted April 30, 2009 #4 Posted April 30, 2009 Monty I know where my mic is, Ron said we lent it to our daughter. And right now she is in Hawaii. SO I guess I cannot talk to you until she gets back. Yama Mama
Blackjack Posted April 30, 2009 #5 Posted April 30, 2009 I'm interested, Monty, and will check it out in detail, just as soon as possible. Thanks for finding it and getting it set up. I might suggest that you pick a day and time for a get-together and see who shows up, then consider doing it again at some consistent interval. Sometimes it takes a while for folks to warm up to something new... TERRY
Monty Posted April 30, 2009 Author #6 Posted April 30, 2009 Copy that. I will try to make the screenies bigger like you asked. You did click on them to enlarge them, right? I will usually have it up at night, as I am not here to fix anything if it has trouble during the day.
Monty Posted April 30, 2009 Author #7 Posted April 30, 2009 Here are some bigger pics... http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/13thAFMonterey/TSconnect-1.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/13thAFMonterey/addserver-1.jpg http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/13thAFMonterey/Serverinfo-1.jpg
BuddyRich Posted April 30, 2009 #8 Posted April 30, 2009 Do we have to tell the ladies..It may overload the server. :rotf::rotf:
Rocket Posted April 30, 2009 #10 Posted April 30, 2009 got it working fine here.I've got it working too, had to adjust the mic senstivity, to the left (like turning down the squelch on a cb).
Monty Posted April 30, 2009 Author #11 Posted April 30, 2009 Had a great time talking with you guys last night. I'll have it back up tonight after I get home. Cya then!
ddoggma Posted April 30, 2009 #12 Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) Yo. I tryed to get people to use my Ts2 server but they couldn't figure out how to use it. I will check in tonite. Good job. This can be used for alot of stuff. Even from on the road, I think. PS: Could NOT connect...... Try again later tonite. Edited April 30, 2009 by ddoggma
Monty Posted April 30, 2009 Author #13 Posted April 30, 2009 Yeah, I have it down until tonight. I need to move it over to one of my desktops, then I can leave it up all the time. I just don't like leaving the laptop on all day when I'm not here.
a1bummer Posted April 30, 2009 #14 Posted April 30, 2009 Cool, the kid and I used both Teamspeak and Ventrilo when we played WOW, (World of Warcraft). If I remember right it seamed as though we had better luck with Ventrilo. Don't remember for sure. I'll have to see where I stuck my mic later.
Monty Posted April 30, 2009 Author #15 Posted April 30, 2009 Ok, it's up. I switched it over to one of my desktops, and it can stay up all of the time now. I have both Teamspeak and Ventrilo. The sound quality seems better with TS, and it uses less system resources than Ventrilo does. Looking forward to hearing from all of you! For those who don't know...AFK=Away From Keyboard.
Kregerdoodle Posted April 30, 2009 #16 Posted April 30, 2009 Sounds good, I`ll try and set it up when I get home!! Thanks!
ddoggma Posted May 1, 2009 #17 Posted May 1, 2009 The one I have up has the name of the gaming clan I used to be in. "Silicon Solders Temp" As it was a backup to the one we mainly used. Its been up for years, test it for me if you can. And I PMed you guys a user and Password to try also. Lately its been acting up....sis couldn't connect last couple times we tryed to use it. myTs2 IP is: 24.127.183.98:8767 If any of you use "Xfire" let me know. I have that too. It makes Ts2 hooking up easyer if you have if.
brscooter Posted May 1, 2009 #19 Posted May 1, 2009 Was just talking to Monty and Ddogmma on teamspeak. It is pretty cool to actually talk and have my slow old typing and not be able to hear back right away. Works great.
wes0778 Posted May 15, 2009 #20 Posted May 15, 2009 Just curious, I never found anybody on Teamspeak and now when I try to connect, the "lady" says "ERROR". Has it gone away?
Monty Posted May 15, 2009 Author #21 Posted May 15, 2009 I will reboot it. I've been out of town on business all week.
