TG TeamSpeak Shortcut

**Lorax74** · 07-24-2007, 01:23 PM

I thought I would share the shortcut I've been using to launch TeamSpeak. It is a slightly modified version version of the link found in step 10 of the TG TeamSpeak page. This shortcut launches TeamSpeak, connects to and logs into the TG TeamSpeak server and then places me in the "9th MID" subchannel of the "In-House Squads Channels" channel.

teamspeak://67.19.106.94/nickname=NICKNAME?loginname=LOGIN_NAME?password=PASSWORD?channel="DEFAULT_CHANNEL"?subchannel=DEFAULT_SUBCHANNEL

Replace the red bolded words with your specific information.
*Edit* There is no need to encode spaces (i.e. %20 or   )

NICKNAME: The display name shown in TeamSpeak, mine is typcially "|TG-9th| Lorax74 - Rob", without the quotes.

LOGIN_NAME: The ID used to to connect to the TeamSpeak server. It can be found here incase you are unsure what it is.

PASSWORD: I would hope this one is self explanatory.

DEFAULT_CHANNEL: The top level , or parent, channel that contains the subchannel you want to start in. Mine reads "In-House Squads Channels", some might like to use the 2142 channel. For some reason I found the need to quote this parameter.

DEFAULT_SUBCHANNEL: The sub, or child, of the channel listed above. Mine is "9th MID". This isn't always needed, depending on where you want to go.

I have put this in a shortcut and included it in my "Startup" folder for quite some time now and haven't had any issues with it. Now I have no excuse why I'm not on TeamSpeak...

Oh, very nice. I sometimes launch BF before TS and have to scramble to get on and in the right channel. This'll be handy.

Awesome!!

(assume we use '%20' for spaces?)

edit: nope... just put spaces in the link and it magically works!

Awesome. Thanks for sharing this.

Nice work mate. That is sharp.

**WhiskeySix** · 07-25-2007, 01:53 AM

This is pure gold. Can a mod move this to General Discussion or HW/SW?

**Ferris Bueller** · 07-25-2007, 04:11 AM

this is a beautiful thing. my only problem is that no matter what combination of quotes/nonquotes I try, I cant get it to put me in the 6th channel by default. It doesnt even work if I try to set it from within teamspeak and manually connect. Just puts me in the "Default" channel on entry as it does with a normal connect.

Might be a compatability thing, i am running vista.

Ferris, double check your spelling. I had the same problem and realized I forgot an "s" in "In-house squads" channel. It has to read exactly as it is in Teamspeak

**Ferris Bueller** · 07-25-2007, 02:58 PM

Checked and double checked. still no dice.

**Lorax74** · 07-25-2007, 04:02 PM

Ferris, can you copy/paste the line you are using? Clear out the private info first though...

It has something to do with the apostrophe in the subchannel name. I'll see if I can find a way that works around it.

I just removed the ' from the TS name.. try now:

"6th Devils Brigade"

Ferris, you may have to update any keybinds that you may have had (if they worked

)

**WhiskeySix** · 07-25-2007, 07:05 PM

I (or goat or wimp) can change it back if you want.... though that should let you know if it was the apostrophe that was the problem.

**Ferris Bueller** · 07-28-2007, 01:00 PM

Copy that. I'll check at home tonight after I get off work. Thanks for the effort guys!
