TBCS Teamspeak

[Ichbin]

Due to a recent thread in the Games section of this forums, I've created a public teamspeak for TBCS.

Hop on in!

Teamspeak IP : 204.11.33.45:8768

[Ichbin]

I should probably give you a link to download teamspeak.

Main Website : http://www.goteamspeak.com

Direct download link : ftp://ftp.freenet.de/pub/4players/teamspeak.org/releases/ts2_client_rc2_2032.exe

When you have teeamspeak installed do the following to make sure its working.


1.Run teamspeak.
2.Go to Settings>Sound Input/Output settings.
3.Click the button that says push to talk, and then assign your "Talk-Key" (Mines L-ALT)
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p46/elgichbin/Teamspeak.jpg
4.Click on activate local test mode.
5.Hold down your Talk-key and speak into your microphone.

If all goes well you should hear yourself within a couple seconds. If nothing happens, check with your microphone settings.


To connect to a server they're two methods you can use.
1st one is easy.
Click on Connection>Quick Connect and under server address put in 204.11.33.45:8768. Assign yourself a nickname and just hop on in. There is no login/password you have to fill. Then click connect.

The second way is easiest after you've set it up.
Click Connection>Connect. Right-Click and add a new server (Click anywhere in the white area). Label the server (personal), under address put in 204.11.33.45:8768, click the Anonymous button. Leave the password field blank. Then click connect.

Seeya on Teamspeak ^.^.

[AJ@PR]

I'll check it out when I get home! :)

That TeamSpeak thingy looks handy...

[gaz_the_chav]

I'm going to have a go now!

[gaz_the_chav]

[Ichbin]

i can hear you mate, but i ight be laggin to mmuch for you to hear me...my parents love them torrents.....i have to go afk anyways for a bit.

[Ichbin]

im going to give anyone with a titlebar under their name server admin. as for anybody else, being registerred and unregistered means nothing. so....only admins are registered

[CanaBalistic]

Roger Roger
We need clearance Clarence
Whats our vector victor?

Over and out without a doupt.

Oh yeah, +rep ichbin for the mic help.

[Ichbin]

Please dear god follow the instructions on the PUSH TO TALK! lol. Its located IN the post. We don't need echoes all over the place.

[jdbnsn]

That was a great idea! I signed up, and for just a moment we had a celebrity guest but he seems to have bailed!

[Ichbin]

or...i booted him! /scream!:eek:

[tybrenis]

Nice, good stuff.

[Zephik]

Crazyteapot FTW. lol

I thought my laptop had a built in mic, guess not. I'll have to see if I can find my headset.

lol I'll sign in as Snow next time to avoid confusion though. Crazyteapot is my WoW character. :P

[Ichbin]

Lol, hamster.

[Zephik]

Lol, hamster.

ROFL

Hey I got a pic from my cell phone to prove it! lol

Ventrilo is better, but this actually gives me a reason to DL TeamSpeak.

Thank god RogerWilco is pretty much dead (It's pre-TS/Vent).

[simon275]

Yeah the WoW guild I'm in uses Vent. Man I remember RW back in the day.

[nil8]

RW worked well for it's time.

[Ichbin]

i remember using roger wilco for americas army even ((EARLY EARLY stages)

As for vent, you have to paay for vent.

Rght now I have a dedicated box with some extra bandwith available and Teamspeak (Unlike ventrillo) gives out a server application aswell as a client.

For you to get the server application for vent you have to go through licensing fees. Yea...i think not. So teamspeak is cool.

Teamspeak 3 is still in development however and its supposed to blow any of the voip programs out there, out of the water.

[B1Gtime]

Does that link work for anyone , The one thats in the Text Box when you sign in? (Welcome To The Public TBCS TeamSpeak Server! www.thebestcasescenario.com)

Keeps saying problem loading page, anyone else have this problem?

UPDATE: Ichbin you didnt spell it right!

LOL

lol, i noticed that today too...lawls.

Ill fix it.

[Bucko]

I'm on there now, but only Minty is around to talk to.

[Ichbin]

people are gradually getting on and off...

[Aero]

I'll get in there this weekend. I'm too busy with school during the week.

[Bucko]

It's good to put some voices to posts. I spent a couple of hours shooting the breeze with Paul earlier. At one stage we had 3 different Countries on at once with me, Crimson and Gaz_the_chav on.

And all without subtitles!

[CanaBalistic]

Some people do need subtitles.

[DaveW]

You might need them for me, although Crimson and Rankenphile seem to manage ok. :D To be honest though, I'm trying so very hard to be clear when talking to them...

EDIT: I'll probably drop in sometime. I'm waaaaay too busy at the moment. But maybe you'll catch me sometime later. ;)

-Dave

[xRyokenx]

Retarded question, but how do I make a username? lol

[Ichbin]

Im only allowing server admins the right to register, only because if i registered everyone from the server, then itd get really annoying really fast.

So i just gave UN-registered users the same rights as registered users. Saves time.

But if you must know, a server admin has to allow you to register with the server.

[SgtM]

Bucko and I are on right now. I like his accent..

[luciusad2004]

Bucko and I are on right now. I like his accent..

I love Bucko's accent. I think i log in just to listen to everybody's accents. I don't know why, I've just always liked listening to different accents.

Anyways. I just wanted to post and say that if anyone sees me and I'm not that talkative I'm not trying to be rude or anything. I'm just very shy. I'm actually quite afraid of talking to people and twice as afraid of talking to people through any sort of electronic device unless its someone I'm really comfortable with.(you have no idea how hard it is for me to pick up the telephone). So yeah, I hope no one gets offended Its not that I don't want to talk to you, i just have a hard time actually doing it. I just log on and off every now and then to see what people are up to.

[nil8]

No big deal. Snowfire seems to have the same problem. Talk when you want to. None of us are going to judge you or think any differently about you.

Paul and I were talking earlier about how useful of a tool TS is for asking questions directly to people who know something, instead of doing it via forum.

[xRyokenx]

I tend to be a bit shy too... most of the time. I seriously hate phones. At least make it a vid phone or something too, then maybe, otherwise I have no clue who's calling and then you have to guess who it is if the voices are similar, etc. I'm gonna try to get on later, but if my stupid $50 Logitech USB headset doesn't work I'm gonna go into staples with the receipt and demand my money back, the thing's speakers messed up a couple days after I got it, but I hate having to return stuff repeatedly. I'll try to get on while trying to figure out how to play Eve Online later. That game is cool, I recommend it to all of you here that like MMOs... it's RPGish, but not quite as much as WoW... think RuneScape and KotOR but better. Along with a Star Trek element too. It's tough to figure out, but you get used to it, whatever that means. :D

[Ichbin]

Hey, no worries man,

But honestly, the first step into anything social is trying. Just hop on TS and listen to the convos that happen. We won't think your rude or anything, just hang out!

[xRyokenx]

I know, it's just been my personal life driving me off the cliff. ...and these god forsaken allergies. I'll hop on while I play Eve for a while, ignore me if I start stressing, I feel like total **** at the moment.

EDIT: Oh, and how the hell do I talk? Yeah, I'm a noob, who cares? lol

[DaveW]

I'm going to hop on for a while tonight. I'll try and be sociable but i'm studying at the same time, so i might just drop in with an incomprehensible Scottish witicism or question along the lines of "So does TCP/IP comply with OSI or not?"

In both cases it's perfectly acceptable to ignore me. :)

read the first-second posts

[xRyokenx]

I figured it out in the end Ichbin, thanks though, lol.

[Ichbin]

Cool, if you have any other questions involving teamspeak (while in teamspeak lol) Nil8 sure knows what he's doing (that includes you admins.)

[xRyokenx]

Thanks for setting it all up, I"ve enjoyed my first experience with it so far, so keep up the good work all, and thanks for being the intelligent, pleasant people that you have been.

[nil8]

It's been a definite boon for us regulars to keep a lot of crap off the forums.

[Ichbin]

Wewt, frontpage! And i havent even made a mod yet!

[Commando]

Pretty Cool,

I just checked it out for a second and it works great.

I'll be back when I have some more time on my hands.

+rep Definitely

[.Maleficus.]

I would come on sometime, but then, you'd hear my true voice and you may find out my secret identity, and we can't have that, could we?

Nah, I'm just kidding. Perhaps sometime I will pop in.

[Airbozo]

I'll try and log in soon. No mic here at work so I can just listen (for now). When I get home I will get it running there and say HI.

[Ichbin]

take your time, its still kinda...starting up, more and more people keep popping their voice on every day it would seem. I havent been on that much just cause ive been busy..

[GT40_GearHead]

I feel like an idiot lol

so if i use this i can your sorry voices ??


maaaan i going to buy a mic urgently

[Bucko]

That's right GT40, you can hear us in all our glory.

[Ichbin]

Teamspeak aint so free for me anymore lol.

But im still gonna keep it up. I know im not on a llot, i havve a guest over for 3 weeks (in germany) and im heading back to the states when she heads back.

Anywho, so thats the reason for my absence.

And don't fret about the teamspeak, its still going to have the same address and the same amoount of user space, it's just gonna cost me like....10 bucks a month or something. So don't waste my money and get all your assess on it...INCLUDING THE VIEWERS.

[Zephik]

Couldn't you host it off of a home computer?

[xRyokenx]

Ichbin, I'll gladly donate a little to the TBCS TS server when I get a little more cash. If you've got PayPal, then that'll be the way I'll donate. I'll PM you when my bank account isn't so empty as it is now...

But yeah, it saves a lot of space on the forums for general BSing.

[Ichbin]

-To snowfire

I could host it off a home computer, but a couple problems arise.

1.New ip (Although not a biggun, its still annoying.
2.Bandwith. A normal home broadband connection isnt meant for a teamspeak that gets used at all. If i were to surf the web, we'd all lag.
3.I'm moving back to the states in like 2 weeks....

So overall, its just not feezable (Spelling ?! lol)

To ryo, you definitally don't have to if you don't want to...and i'd wanna run it by crimson first before i take ANY moneys from anyones.

It's still his website :P I don't wanna be newyorkered on.

[Crimson Sky]

We're going to have it installed on the TBCS servers as soon as we get the time.

[Ichbin]

ok, sweetness. Its fairly easy to set up :P.

Just tell me when its about to get set up so i can stop paying.

[jdbnsn]

Thanks for contributing Ichbin, that's really cool of you!

[xRyokenx]

Alright, no prob, I'll still donate if need be and if I have a little bit more money than $14 saved up in my bank account, lol.

[AJ@PR]

I tell you what.. some of you are way easier to understand in type than by live voice. *cough* AJ@PR *cough*

True true...

But asking a Puerto Rican to speak fluent english, while under the influence of some alcohol, isn't bound to have phonetically pleasing results, meng.

:p :p

<><><><><>
RE: Team Speak...
Wow... I'll be getting on this bandwagon like, today! FTW!
No booze. Promise.
:)

[Ichbin]

Sad news guys....


looks like my clan isnt make enough money to keep a dedicated box up and running :(

Poor leadership and WoW....don't mix so hot.

So..It looks like we'd be pulling the plug by the end of june (i think, it might even be the end of this month, i gotta talk some more)

I'll keep you posted.

[xRyokenx]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !


Seriously, Team Speak pwns for chatting with people from these forums, so much more fun and involved, etc. Text is nothing compared to live voice...

Wait a sec, wasn't Crimson gonna find a way to host it on the server the forums are on?

[nil8]

Don't freak. Getting a TS host isn't expensive or difficult.
When we transition over to hosting TBCS TS on a TBCS server, it will be a little administrative work, but nothing horrific.

I should throw that on top of my to-do list for the site. Once the weather gets hotter and I stop focusing so much on el crazy woman(sorry about last night guys, you know how it is), I will really dig into getting some stuff tested & working with your current setup.

Which reminds me, can someone PM me the OS build of the linux server so I can get going with vmware on that?

[DaveW]

I could be wrong, but I think Crimson knows to set this up. If he does, he'll be on the case in no time. ;)

-Dave

[Eclecticos]

I rarely see anyone on the Teamspeak. Hell all you have to do Is download it and Input the IP address on the homepage.

[nil8]

We're busy people. The weather outside has been perfect and some of us have jobs, lives, crazy women, etc etc.

I won't be around on TS tonight because I'm doing a core router move w/ the network admin. Hooray. Starts in t-minus 15 minutes and continues until we're finished. If it wasn't for that I'd probably be out dealing with the chaos that is woman.

I will be around this weekend for sure. I'm planning on spending at least 2 hrs working on a project for Crimson that I said I would a couple of weeks ago.

Have a good night gents and I will be talking to all of you later.

[luciusad2004]

I'm on team speak almost every day/night. I'm not that exciting to talk to though lol.

[Eclecticos]

Could Use some Ideas on how to go about motorizing my mod "Saturn Magnetosphere" Hop on the Team Speak
. . and Let me know if you think you can help.

I have purchased some PVC Pipe and and have the bottom half mounted to the pc case. I Also have some 3" Dome type caps for the tops.

I'd appreciate it.

[Eclecticos]

TBCSpeak is Offline. Anyone have any other Idea?

[jdbnsn]

We're looking into hosting it on our server, stay tuned.

[LiTHiUM0XiD3]

hell if u guys need a temp i got a 24/7 vent server running on a local box....
lemme know if u want to give it a shot... i can prolly host a TS server also.... just PM me if u dig the idea and i will give u all the info u guyz need

[simon275]

Whats doin with teamspeak?

[xRyokenx]

From what I know, it's kind of in limbo at the moment. I'm sure one of the mods will explain a bit more.

[GT40_GearHead]

is this thing working any longer ?

[nil8]

Stasis seems to be a good word for it. Check your PM's GT40.

[GT40_GearHead]

Check your PM's GT40.

sure did ! :D

[luciusad2004]

LoL every time someone post's in this thread i get all excited and think that a teamspeak server has been set up. I miss having something to do on lazy weekday nights.

[nil8]

lucius, check your pm's.

[luciusad2004]

alright, PM'ed you back.

[nil8]

Everything is under control. Go back to your lives. Go out and buy something. There is no spoon. That is all.

[Drum Thumper]

There is no spoon.

So you're saying that I just scratch built this fork and knife for no reason?!?!?!? :p

[slytherock]

There is no spoon.

I love that freak :)

[FrooP]

im currently setting up one 24/7 german hosting fast lane
150 Slots check back later :)

[FrooP]

no one wants a teamspeak server eh? :(

[nil8]

The official answer(as far as I know) is we're working on it.
There are procedures in place people. Procedures.

[FrooP]

i got one ready up and running but if you want to do your own, okay :)

[Ichbin]

lol, yea, im really sorry i had to shut my down :(. Stupid ass clan leader actually was embezzling money.....

[xRyokenx]

That sucks... there prolly wasn't much in the account was there? Who knows, people do crazy things for small amounts of money...

[Ichbin]

it was enough to keep the servers alive and such. after we found out though, EVERYONE stopped donating. so...dumbass leader with dumbass moves. Noones likes him anymore cause of it.

[Crazy Buddhist]

Ok I have come to this thread late and no clue what Teamspeak is ... but are we re-inventing the wheel?

Who uses Skype? .. Skype works great for hosting this kind of grouptalk thing - they have an interface all set up and working: "Skypecasts" - I already use this to deliver and discuss meditation techniques (AKA BRAIN-MODDING) with people all over the world.

If 75% of us are already using skype for something or another we could use that to deliver a working verbal-chat forum pretty quick.

Matthew

[Ichbin]

I describe it as....a chatroom with a microphone.

It came out before skype, and well...teamspeak takes little resources to run in the backround while....playing games or such things. The program was completly coded around GROUP speaking. Teamspeak 3 is supposedly underway...with WAY better audio codecs, and WAY better admin management.

[Crazy Buddhist]

Hey ichbin - we're the Hammer dudes :D:D:D:

sounds great ... is this still an active project or should the thread, like Z, be dead?

[Bucko]

It's an active project, but it isn't a priority project. TS will be installed on the TBCS servers, but there are more pressing issues to be sorted out before it is done.

[Crazy Buddhist]

thanks for the update bucko :)

[Airbozo]

Ahhh,,, Now that I am back from vacation I can help out a little more on this. I did a test install on one of my servers here at work, and am going to do a little more testing before doing a simple write up for Paul. Easy Shmeasy if you ask me, but I still have a few things to check (like admin access).

[Ichbin]

If you need help with any of the admin stuff, shoot me a PM.

[Airbozo]

If you need help with any of the admin stuff, shoot me a PM.

I may have some initial questions since I have never really setup a server before, except on my own PC. Once I check out the admin utilities on my server here I may have a few questions. I must say that the teamspeak linux install has got to be the easiest linux software install I have ever done...
