    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.

    cache.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!


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭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).


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,135 Mod ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,692 ✭✭✭Dublin_Gunner


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

    Vent has been better for a long time.

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

    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,874 ✭✭✭✭PogMoThoin


    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

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

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,686 ✭✭✭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 :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,692 ✭✭✭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?


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,135 Mod ✭✭✭✭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

    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 :)

    - 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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,912 ✭✭✭SeantheMan


    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 ;)

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

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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 670 ✭✭✭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
