Boards.ie Teamspeak 3 Server: Now ye're chattin'

cherryghost · 18-07-2011 3:58pm #1

Hey all, just to let you all know, boards.ie's Teamspeak server is back up! We now have 100 slots in place due to high demand on the previous one.

www.gametracker.com/server_info/212.187.246.58:9107/banner_560x95.png?random=45036

How to connect:

- Grab the download for the OS of your choice here.
- Once installed, got to bookmarks, manage bookmarks, add bookmark
- Under label type anything(the description for the server), under address type eurots1.gameservers.com:9107. Type your nickname in there too.

You're done, you can connect to the channel. All that's left to do is set up your microphone.

Boards.ie users can request their own channel! just PM myself and I'll get a permanent channel set up for you. I will also make you admin of the channel should you wish to alter sub-channel settings etc.[/quote]

Thanks a mill in advance :P

grrrrrrrrrr!!!
get vent!

Shiminay · 18-07-2011 4:46pm

Is Vent better? I've never really noticed a huge difference, but I'm not using either of them that regularly (TS more often though for Minecraft and World of Tanks).

cherryghost · 18-07-2011 4:55pm

Vent uses less bandwidth and was generally better speaking quality. TS3 has had issues in the past with bandwidth and lag but its pretty much spot on now IMO.

ShadowHearth · 18-07-2011 5:09pm

i have to agree with vent thing. its simplyer, easyer, better quality.

on the ather hand fair play for giving us team speak too

.

i would love to see some organised events. pc game nights with teamspeak.

would be cool to have a bc2 night out with teams on team speak, but in different channels, then after matches to go for loughts in to general chats etc.

it should be fun! ill deffo join, when my internet will stop sucking.

suggestions for channels:
bad company 2
LoL
Starcraft?

Dublin_Gunner · 18-07-2011 5:33pm

Cool. Shim sort out a wot channel with the usual heads as channel commander!

SeantheMan · 18-07-2011 5:40pm

Vent has been better for a long time.

Though I've been hearing some good things about "Mumble" , but never tried it myself

As long as it is not DG we should be ok or he'll mute us just before he shoots us in the back

Mumble is great as well, it even has positional sound plugins for games such as L4D.

To be honest, so long as people are not using Skype I'm happy enough.

PogMoThoin · 18-07-2011 7:10pm

Mumble pisses on both Vent and TS tbh, its crystal clear and has built in overlay and game surround plugins for positional audio in some games like Arma, BF2, L4D, TF2 etc. It has many other very handy settings the others don't have, like muting or reducing ingame volume when someone speaks. We tried them all, Mumble is by far the best

Pretty sure ts3 has a built in overlay as well as volume reduction when someone speaks. That being said, haven't used ts in years, and have never tried mumble just simple ol vent!

TS3 has position audio built in to its client, as well as muting or reducing ingame volume too. I don't notice much diffrence in performance between Mumble and TS3 in those features tbh

Yes, but the games need to support the positional audio for it to work well, I know Arma 2 natively only supports Mumble as its open source, the Arma surround support plugin for TS3 is a seperate mod and not supported by the developer

Probable worth making this a sticky

Also with regards to the below, there is no box for "Port" when going via Bookmarks.

The server name should be typed as 'servername: port'
i.e eurots6.gameservers.com:9122

How to connect:

- Once installed, got to bookmarks, manage bookmarks, add bookmark
- Under label type anything(the description for the server), under address type eurots6.gameservers.com, and under port type 9122. Type your nickname in there too.

Tar.Aldarion · 03-08-2011 1:53am

cool.

Dublin_Gunner · 19-08-2011 11:19pm

Server down - anyone know whats up?

Ponster · 19-08-2011 11:57pm

Back up

cherryghost · 20-08-2011 12:04am

Is this server still up and running? keep getting this message:

<16:10:17> Trying to resolve hostname eurots6.gameservers.com

Kersmash · 08-11-2011 5:18pm

cant connect either

cherryghost · 08-11-2011 5:19pm

The data boxes are currently under scheduled maintenance. Should be back up in an hour or so.

William_Hicley · 09-11-2011 12:47am

Hey, I'm getting a
<23:44:11> Trying to resolve hostname eurots6.gameservers.com
<23:44:12> Trying to connect to server on eurots6.gameservers.com
<23:44:18> Failed to connect to server

I just downloaded Teamspeak3 and never used it before, can anybody help?

I couldnt see where to type in the port number (9122) either.
Any help would be appreciated!

Kersmash · 09-11-2011 1:29am

the port number goes in with the server address so when you click connect type in "eurots6.gameservers.com:9122"
