switch to TS3

Hammer · Post by **Hammer** » 21 Apr 2010, 20:17

anyone have objections to officially switching RLGaming to Teamspeak 3?

Can you have 2 different versions of TS installed at the same time? SimHQ still uses TS 2. What's the reason for the upgrade?

Buffalo Six · Post by **Buffalo Six** » 22 Apr 2010, 06:50

I believe having multiple versions of TS is doable, you have to jump thru a hoop or 2 but you can do it.

I'd support going to TS3, its usually lighter on the bandwidth than Vent. and IIRC is still free for Hammer to host with.

Hammer · Post by **Hammer** » 23 Apr 2010, 15:43

it is still free. TS3 has a plugin sdk, and there is an arma 2 mod that works with it.

i think you can do both versions, any reason SimHQ has not switched to TS3?

o.k. - TS3 server up and running. look in the servers forum for info, in the voice communication thread. if you can not see that forum, send me a PM - it is a group permissions issue.

once people start connecting i think i will be able to set up server and channel admins. i have to read/study the new permission system.

i would like to see if everyone will commit to using this new server. if things work well i will decommission the ventrilo server (eventually). so if/when you post about game time, put which voice comm system to meet on as well.

Hammer, it worked like a charm, looks good to go. Have to figure out all the bells and whistles but over all I liked it.
The ability to set individual volume settings is really cool.....we should call it the Panzer button =)....no more blowing my speakers out lol

Thanks for setting that up

Hammer · Post by **Hammer** » 11 May 2010, 22:03

cool. anybody using it tonight have any problems?

should we all try switching over to it?

Buffalo Six · Post by **Buffalo Six** » 12 May 2010, 06:21

I'd say come on over. People will want to try it out 1st and they can make their own decision. Hondo was still having issues but I think thats an issue with his Rube Goldberg internet connection.

All in all I think TS3 sounds better then vent. I wish the mic clicks were a little louder but it all seemed to work well.

been thinking about that, if its a wave file it uses we can just replace it with a louder file.

Tach Deneva · Post by **Tach Deneva** » 13 May 2010, 11:51

I guess I've never used mic clicks. What does a mic click do? Is it an audio cue that lets you know you've keyed your mic?

Buffalo Six · Post by **Buffalo Six** » 13 May 2010, 12:06

yes....Vent IIRC was built or something way back when off Roger Wilco, which had a "mic click" when you keyed up. I'm just used to the clicks, and miss the rhythm they impart is all.........

VEGETA · Post by **VEGETA** » 13 May 2010, 19:49

Ok you want to change to the vint clicks go here first. there are 4 fiels, 2 for off and 2 for on.

D:\Program Files\TeamSpeak 3 Client\sound

copy form the vint folder
C:\Program Files\Ventrilo

Take the 2 sound files there MicKeyDown and MicKeyUp

make 2 copies of the files

MicKeyDown 2 copyes rename to mic_click_other_on the other mic_click_self_on.

MicKeyUp rename to mic_click_other_off the other mic_click_self_off

Replae the 4 files in D:\Program Files\TeamSpeak 3 Client\sound with the 4 newley named files and have fun

I like the mic clicks, as some games crap out in Ventrilo and the mic clicks let me know my Ventrilo is still working.

Thanks for that info Veg.
