    Question Teamspeak

    Whoa - I'm on a bit of a roll with the thread starting tonight :-)

    Did I read correctly somewhere, that supporting members get access to the teamspeak server, or is that an extra charge?

    Re: Teamspeak

    I believe the teamspeak server is available to "registered" members. You may register with the site which it looks like you've done.

    Re: Teamspeak

    We need to get some CS:S people in there.
    Every time I check the TS status so I can join and get registered there are no names I recognize...

    Look for anyone with an "SA" at the end of their names. Right now that should be Luna or myself. Either one of us can hook you up with registration rights.

    Question Re: Teamspeak

    ok this might sound like a dumb question - how / where do i connect to the TS server? I got a cheap headset and I've been told the sound quality is pretty good in CS.

    If you click on the "Teamspeak Status" link on the left side of the TG homepage, it'll give you the IP and tell you who's on the TS server.

    I was going to say not to bother with TS for CounterStrike, but the voice quality in CS is pretty horrible...

    Re: Teamspeak

    I've considered dropping voicecomm from our CSS server until SPEEX comes along and promoting people into our TS server (with two channels for CSS) in the meantime. But I just can't convince myself it would be worth the headache.

    It's very dampening on the fun factor of a team-based game when you can't understand your team.

Apophis: I haven't seen anyone say that SM's are better than non-SMs. Nordbomber: This is THE first server I've seen where either side can comeback from out of seemingly nowhere with the right teamwork. en4rcment: I have NEVER experienced the type of gameplay that I have found here. Nightly I am amazed at the personalities and gaming talent. Zephyr: Apophis is clearly a highly sophisticated self-aware AI construct that runs on a highly modified toaster oven in Wyzcrak's basement.

    Re: Teamspeak

    I would not be in support of such a move at this point.. There are too many new players coming into the server who would effectively be cut off.

    Re: Teamspeak

    voice quality is rather crappy if you've been playing on the NS server with speex, but after awhile you get used to it and you can usually understand most people. or at least i can.

    I've been told my new mic / headset is pretty clear in CSS. Any UK players should pop into argos and pay £17 for a labtec set.

    Talking Re: Teamspeak

    That's king root of gibberishland to you mister :-)

    Just ignore the various dellusions of granduer since I got made an admin. It's the same old megelomaniac me underneath!

    Yes, there were some pretty good rounds last night. There was a particulalry hard fought round of italy 9-8 to T's in the end. It's just a shame some ppl play on our server and whilst they don't rush the offensive team spawn, they don't do anything to back up their team. There were quite a few of them on last night. Oh well.

    Tonight, for your entertainment, Root deity extrordinaire will be performing on the CS server. Feats include catching bullets and locating grey using only the power of the force.

    I have no work tomorrow so this'll be a late one :-)

    Re: Teamspeak

    I've gotten used to using TS for chitchat and the in game voice for communicating with teammates only.
    Anyone who's mic is set up properly and can talk in TS is understandable in game.
    One major issue if we were to have two channels for CS:S is that you have to Alt-Tab out to change channels if you change sides for the next map.

    I'd also like to point out that players need to let an admin know if someone is spamming the voice chat. If the spammer is on the other team we can't hear it... and if we are in spectator mode we can't hear ANY voice chat.
    Berzerker asked me to do something a couple of nights ago. It was a bit late in the round but I muted one of the offenders. We admins can and will mute someone if he or she is causing trouble.

    I've notice some ppl voice spamming but we seem to be luckier than other servers. Maybe its just I come and go before they turn up.
