Please vote! Mumble, Team Speak or Ventrilo

[cptwin]

The mumble server hasn't been used that much recently and it has been suggested a few times that we swap to a team speak server.

Let me know what you think, and vote for your favorite or suggest any alternatives and I'll get it setup!

Are there any benefits, draw back or differences between them all or is it really that only one of them carries a much bigger user base?

 

[cptwin]

They all have their ups and downs.
Team Speak has a larger userbase, is more complicated to setup and the program has more features (eg file transfers etc). But the voice encoding can't achieve that high quality and latency wise it is pretty average.
Mumble is easy to setup and the voice encoding is great and very flexible, hardly any latency. It doesn't have many features or addons are very annoying/hard to setup, also some people have been having trouble connecting and or being able to use their mic with it.
I haven't really tried Ventrilo but its quite old, offers a middle ground in terms of quality. Unsure of the rest as I never really bothered with it.

I have used every type of those options exept of the 'mumble'
Teamspeak- is not very hard to setup, it is actuall quite easy. I have been using this latley and it is the best option in my opinion.
Ventrillo- Is not the best, its ok.. but Teamspeak is alot better.
I have set up a teamspeak server, i am just having troubles (please read the forums). but if that was working I think this would make things easier and quicker. Because in teamspeak to set up all u do is have a mic hoocked up to the computer and choose a button u want to speak (or have it on auto speak) and then just adjust the volume if needed

Mumble is exactly the same deal.
Will your server be on 24/7?

If I can get my server up then yes, it will be up 24/7 hopefully
Just one problem... I don't know how to actually set it up.. (Plz read the forums) but if I got a hand with that then that would be Audie

Thanks Nnewman

Does teamspeak have an in-game overlay or not because in mumble thats a usefull part of it.

 

[Anonymous]

I'm not sure what you mean by in game layout.
But when you are in teamspeak you can edit it do you can make new slides and different catagories. Like minecraft mods admins etc.
But if you just go into the forums and look under teamspeak problems. And if you could help that would be appreciated

 

[cptwin]

Mumble has an overlay, so when you in game it has a little thing in the top right corner showing who is on and who is talking etc. So you know who is saying what.
Teamspeak has this option, but according to their FAQ will get your account banned in many games due to it looking like a cheating program.

Agh I get it. Yes teamspeak does have that. But we don't need it though..
So if I had some help setting it up... That would help

 

[elliotlondt]

Mumble and teamspeak are practically both the same. Although I find that teamspeak is much easier to connect to. I vote teamspeak. :!:

How do you access the voice chat server?

 

[Gxlnz]

When filtering the servers type lolnet.co.nz and it should come up with the teams peak server

 

[cptwin]

After we moved for the third time I haven't put a sever up, I will unless someone has already beat me 2 it

 

[Gxlnz]

Well when I went on team speak there was 2 lolnet teamspeak servers on there and another time I went on there were people on the lolnet team speak server saying that it was their team speak server even though it said lolnet.co.nz as its name so I don't know

 

[popsk_]

ive used them all, and personally i find that vent is my favourite. but maybe thats just because i played wow alot and that was the chat of choice unless its small partys of people where they used skype insteed.

that being said id be okay with ether teamspeak or ventrilo.

Looks like TeamSpeak is the only Voice Chat server that appears to be picking up steam. It's gained popularity quickly and is in high usage by some members in the Lolnet Community.

I cant get into the teamspeak server

 

[blairp59]

I suggest ventrillo, cause they host the servers for them self's, which means they have pretty high speed internet, It's cheap too. I use it all the time with my friends,

 

[Profersser_Genki]

Nah use Teamspeak way better
