In before lock.

Ah I'm just kiddin.

While this is also true, it's not what we were talking about. There are basically 2 SL channels on EACH team. This is where you have a choice to make and you don't want to be stuck with squares.

You're asking the wrong guy, man.

The cool SL channel is whichever channel I is in!

Yeah, real cool. The coolest. Too cool for grammar school.

Well, the channels are named "Squad Leaders Radio net (Team 1/2 alternative)" and "Squad Leaders Radio net (Team 1/2)". Common sense would dictate that you use the "Squad Leaders Radio net" channel.

But, why are there 2 SQ leader Radio net channels per team? At most, there should only be 9 guys in one SQ leader channel, right?

**Portable.Cougar** · 08-27-2009, 02:43 AM

say you got 2 M-inf units. 2 BMPs and 2 6 man Inf Squads. It takes alot of chatter to guide assets on target, disscuss what to do next. Things like that

The second channel was added to allow SLs to talk "freely" with out bothering the main SL channel

Crashes cause channels to be mixed. Also, sometimes some weird stuff happens and everybody gets switched to the 'afk' channel in mumble.

Personally, I like to open up both, connect in channel (afk channel for Mumble and public or 69th channel for TS) then after, when I'm in the game, I switch channels by just looking at the player lists and comparing them to the lists in the mumble and TS.
And myself, I don't experience too many people being mixed, only just 1 or 2 players.

I think it's first off the responsibility of the person to be in channel, and then the admin who can change them. Some admins change people accordingly after a crash and server restart. But don't count on that all the time.

And thanks for that Cougar, I just sort of moved with the crowd, didn't know what that channel was for. Thanks for the explanation.

Teamspeak, mumble, dozens of channels omg, if I get mumble running and to squadlead again, Iam going to designate somone as a radioman to talk to other squadleaders and do the forward observer for CAS, but then he doesnt have a soflam, hmm.

**Paine** · 08-27-2009, 08:39 PM

i vote keep the two SL channels so that us lame people can talk off-topic in our channel, and the cool people can talk off-topic in the other, leaving no room for bad feelings or hypocrisy.

also, we should use xfire VOIP too, that way i can use my second numpad connection for just comms hotkeys.

We also need several Ventrillo servers. This is an automatic lame person filter. They have no idea what vent is.

**Drayu** · 08-27-2009, 11:41 PM

A long time ago, in the days of Desert Combat, the ninjaserve guys (I believe thekronic and Packetloss) had written a program that automatically switched you to the right channel based on the team you were on in game. Too bad that couldn't be found, or redone ( I would have no clue how, so not me ).

I could be wrong, but that's what I seem to remember was done.

If this is the case, I sincerely suggest that you avoid this tendency because it tends to create the effect of having both teams in one channel. If you go into the channel and ask for the players to get into the proper channels, if they aren't already, and then go into your proper channel. This way, the teams will be divided as intended, and you will not be alone if there are players on your team using mumble.

As somebody else mentioned, and as has been mentioned before in regards to TS, I usually load into the game server and then switch to the appropriate TS/Mumble channel based on the names in the respective servers.

However, if one team has more mumble players than the other, I will try to switch to that team to utilize mumble. Good, bad or indifferent, I don't see my behavior changing anytime soon, and I don't think I'm alone. I think this is why one side is always "stacked" with mumble players.

If I didn't use or didn't want to use mumble, the point would be moot, but alas, I do like mumble.

I believe that the goal is eventually to integrate Mumble into PR so that it starts by itself when you run PR, and joins you into the right server channel by itself, and moves you to the SL channel if you become an SL, and so on.
