Teamspeak

To aid in the commuinication in game and out, we run an application called Teamspeak (TS) which can be downloaded here∞. TS is invaluble for arranging playing times and is extremely useful when launching games, especially if any player is unfamilar with joining a multiplayer session on it.

To join our Teamspeak server, please refer to the details below.

Addresses :
mach.homeip.net - main server
tuf.ath.cx - backup server

Password : <none>, although unregistered users will not be able to move from "The Lobby" until they register themselves in the "SELF" menu, this was introduced to stop randoms joining a channel and spamming it during a game. You may need to ask an admin to allow you to register.

Rules:

• Obviously, enjoy each others company but also respect players, if they are playing a game then don't burst in asking questions.
• Be nice to new users, unless they go on about call of duty.... no really.
• Try to keep swearing down... ok, I know I'm one of the worst. But not all of us wear headphones and some of us have children.
• Please do your best to ensure you don't "echo" this happens when your mic picks up sound from your speakers and we all hear ourselves.
• Please define an alias for yourself, although "Guest" isn't banned any more it's nice to know who you are.
• Channel requests can be posted in our forums.
• Please don't broadcast music or sound packs in any channel.
• Try to keep communications down, there’s nothing more annoying than somebody who loves the sound of their own voice! Teamspeak can be a great help in Co-op play but can also be distracting. Any user can "ignore" another by right clicking on them and selecting "mute".

Useful Stuff :

Connecting to our Teamspeak

By selecting the "Connection" Menu item and picking select (shown above) you will be presented with the following screen...

Above you can see the conifguration required to connect to our server. Below is an outline of some of the more relivent fields :

Label : This is a free text label, it can be anything you like.
Server Address : This must be "Mach.homeip.net" or one of the backup servers.
Nickname : This is free text and identifies you to other people on the server.
Login Name : This must be your defined login name, this is not required if it is your first time on the server, you will NOT be able to move from the lobby until you register.
User Password : Linked to the username, this authenticates your login name and gives you access to all the channels in Teamspeak.

Sound Settings

The screenshots below show you how to get into the sound configuration section of Teamspeak, this area allows the user to define a number of important options such as the press to talk key and the voice activation level. This is very important as with a voice level too high nobody can hear you, with it too low we'll all hear you breathing! Also if you are using speakers you MUST define a press to talk key or everyone else will echo.

Please try and ensure that your settings are suitable before inflicting it on other users of teamspeak!
