I thought more peeps use TeamSpeak

WCP Dad · **I thought more peeps use TeamSpeak -** 09-30-2002, 07:16 AM

With the help of Redsoccerdevil, I got my TeamSpeak working this weekend. I am surprised at the small number of users. Is it just new and not many peeps have it yet? Or do folks not like it?
It was fun having Redsoccerdevil tell me each time he was about to snipe me...lol cry:

I personally have never used Teamspeak. I am, however, a registered user of Roger Wilco. I've never used that program either. For a clanless player like myself it's difficult to find others that use it. I've spent a couple of hours chatting in Gamespy trying to do just that with zero results. Apparently it's not as popular as I thought it would be. That's too bad, IMO, as I believe it would enhance the experience of the game to no end.

Hey WCP Dad, Red helped me get set up this weekend too - sorry I didn't see you on there. I think Chicken Boo, Jasper, Timmay and Redsoccerdevil were the only ones I saw on. I agree about being surprised. I thought alot of people used it.

I think it's a great program, and now, can be alot better than Roger Wilco. Alot of people just don't use it, it can be annoying. But still, I think its cool to use once in awhile. At most, there's usually about 8 people on, but most of the time, just a few, like 3 or 4.

The last few times I've tried to use it, there hasn't been anyone on the server...or the server isn't working.

I tried the first version with my speakers and an old mic I had and it didm't work too good. So I ordered a new top of the line high fulten (?) Labtec USB Axis 712 headset, went on backorder but I finally got it the other day and I DL'ed TS 2 and put it in last night and got it to work pretty good in Jaspers main room , I was talking to Joe and Jasper for a little while but I'm having problems setting up the keys for the aa.com sub servers and I can't seem to stay registered . I did it once and the U changed to an R like it should but when I closed the program and stared it back up and connected again the U was back back by my name and when I tried to register again (using the same info) it said the name is already being used . I tryed checking the registered box in the connection info where I put Jaspers server , no help .... I guess I'll have to PM Jasper , but I hate to bother him with all the problems he's having with this stuff. I'll get it working though and I'll be talking to you guys.

OG, when you start up you need to switch the login from anonymous to registered and enter in your details.

Lately it's been hard to stay on for long. Since I'm playing on a different server then most of you now, the only room I enter is the main lobby.

Would be nice to see a whole team set up on TS while playing OBJ or something. I imagine that would make it that much easier to defend/assault.

Jasper · 09-30-2002, 07:22 PM

Your all correct.

The server needs to be constantly babysat or the host has hardware issue (which hopefully are just about over). Ergo, its not allways up.

PPl have trouble installing or setting up TeamSpeak2 and rather than take 5 minutes to read the sticky uptop (which has a link to an updated TS2 thread which details ALL the known problems) and just say "screw it".

Nobody is on at a given time so instead of "idling" in a channel like a ton of ppl do in IRC they dissconect. What you may not be aware of is under the "Self" tab in the TS window you can set different away settings. My normall away setting is "Output muted" which just kills the TS audio. On my system with 512MB of ram I can leave TS running all the time and still do everything I normally do.

This is still relatively new and I understood going into this it might take a while to fully catch on. What guys need to understand unless my host goes out of business this is paid for untill Mar 2003. It will be up 24/7 unless it crashes and none of my babysitters notice.

With all that being said I want to give a huge THANK YOU to the small core of diehard users like Joe, Chickenboo, Red and about 15 other guys whos names I cant remember right now for sticking with it.

The service DOES work, it works well (when is *is* working), and if used while playing an online MP game like MOH increases the fun factor by x1000000 fold. You'll notice late at night there is allmost allways 5-10 "Tribers" on the Deliquecse channel. This is a competition Tribes2 clan and voice comm is imperative for them to discuss tactics. In Tribes 1&2 there are dedicated offense and defense teams so real time voice comm is a huge timesaver.

Keep the faith brothers. Theres like 8 of us right now and were jumping into the aa.com server

The other person playing on TS was Colonel, I think. BTW, it was [OTD] Colonel. fire1:

Thanks Dad, I got on right as redsoccerdevil was telling everybody goodnight. When I first tried to get on the aa.com server it was full so I had to wait for red to leave so that I could get in (to the game not to TS). It was fun listening to y'all talk about the game without being able to see what was happening. I think TS could be the catalyst to get people back on the server again. It was full for a long time last night!

Chuddy Bear · 10-01-2002, 04:11 PM

hi its little chuddy. I had fun last night on TS. i wasnt on long but i'll be on more tonight. oh ya and man oldguy, you've bin blasting me alot lately. oOo:
