cherryghost

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

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

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

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

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

SeantheMan

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.

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

cool.

Server down - anyone know whats up?

Ponster

cherryghost

It's the monthly recurring charge yoke, its down for about 10 minutes every month :pac:

Must be added to the sticky!

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

<16:10:17> Trying to resolve hostname eurots6.gameservers.com
<16:10:18> Trying to connect to server on eurots6.gameservers.com:9122
<16:10:24> Failed to connect to server

Kersmash

cant connect either

cherryghost

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

William_Hicley

Hey, I'm getting a

<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

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

Server has been close to capacity in recent weeks, servers getting upgraded to 75 slots this week to facilitate this

Dublin_Gunner

Getting constant connections from Gametracker, and its incredibly annoying.

IP's are:
108.61.78.147 & 208.167.225.13

One IP originating near Wichita, and the other near New York.

I have posted on their forums:
https://www.gametracker.com/games/ts3/forum.php?thread=69246

So hopefully they remove it. Apparently 'claiming ownership' of your own server involves renaming it to Gametracker to verify you have control - which I was NOT going to do.

If they refuse to remove it from the list, is there anything we can do?

cherryghost

AFAIK you have to claim ownership and then 'manage' the server by removing it.

It's incredibly retarded and a nuisance.

Do you fancy renaming the server to claim it? I don't have the Admin software in work (nor have I ever connected to the admin controls for boards.ie TS - no reason to).

These connections are driving me insane.

Here is the Boards.ie TS3 server listing

Yeah I'll do it now and get rid of the crafty bastards

EDIT: Should be done now. Gone

**update

It appears to have stopped.

TY Cherry.

I've had to shut this down due to unforseen circumstances. Sorry lads. Will be shut down in a few weeks.

jujumushu

But...but cherry!!! I have so many interesting things to be talking about

SeantheMan

If you need donations you can ask I guess, I'd have no problem sending a few quid to support a server. Not that I'm on the boards one much, but for the communitys sake

Set up a kickstarter page

Buuuump! Teamspeak server is back up. Now with 100 slots. We had issues with the server being full previously, shouldn't be a problem now

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.

Details have been put back in the first post.

I hope noone is funding it out of their own pocket. If donations to the cost are needed please say so or link on the bottom of the TS

Nokia08

Is this gone? i tried connecting but the server has a password

VinLieger

All the channels seem to be locked with permissions, cant get past the lobby

cherryghost

The server has been moved to a permanent home on the same box as the boards.ie 3 Minecraft servers.

ts3server://188.165.244.23

Not The Real Scarecrow

Teamspeak noob here.How do I get on the server with above address?

jujumushu

I presume you have teamspeak downloaded?
Just go to connect/connections, that should open a window, input the server address above and pick a username, leave the password field blank

jujumushu
