Ventrilo - Mastery - 06-15-2007

I kinda hijacked someone elses post with this earlier, so I`m making a seperate post now so people can actually reply.

Ventrilo is a chat program, you install it, connect and join a room and talk to your friends or talk to new people.

Download from this link:

Install.

To setup:

Select Server to use:

At the top of the ventrilo window, there are three pulldown menus. User name, Server and Bindings.
To the right of the Server window, there is an arrow, ->. Click it.
Click the 'New' Button. Enter the name:

Quote:Ventrilo

Press Enter.
In the 'Hostname or IP section, enter:

Quote:real-hosts.ca

Click Okay.

Create a user account:

Click the -> arrow to the right of the User Name menu. Click the 'New' Button. Enter your user name.
If you want your name to sound different, enter the phoentics in the 'Phoentic' box. Test by pressing Play and alter as needed.
Click Okay.

Click the Connect button on the top right. If all goes well, a series of red and blue crosses with names will appear. Red crosses represent locked rooms. Blue represent open rooms.

Find a room with another user and ask them for setup assistance. You can use comments (the Comment button) to ask for help if you cannot yet talk.

Once in, use the setup menu to select your push-to-talk key, we do not want to hear your sneezes, as well as to adjust your outbound and inbound volumes. Outbound ajdusts how loud you are, inbound adjusts how loud others are.

That version allows an unlimited amount of people to join, It`s great for groups of people to talk to each other.

That`s a gaming Ventrilo host that I've given the IP to, if Discovery manages to get the serverside version of 2.1.4(which is much better than the newer ones) then they could host their own and make clan channels and locked channels for clans to have 'private meetings'

Trust me freelancer is much more fun when talking to friends.
Hopefully I`ll see some people on sometime.

Ya its a good program, though the free version has a 6 person limit on the server correct?


Ventrilo - Mastery - 06-15-2007

The newer ones do, Ventrilo stopped giving out the Server side 2.1.4 a while ago, it could host unlimited, however that Server that I gave the IP for managed to get the 2.1.4 version so any number of people can join. The client side version is linked:)

I havent had any luck in finding a download for the 2.1.4 Server side but I know some people have/can get it, maybe I`ll ask around and see what I can find out.

i use Ventrilo very frequently and i've also used teamspeak and other chat programs and Ventrilo is the very best by leaps and bounds.

you can pay for 50 man server and i don't think it's very expensive.

i play the "City Of Villains" MMO and my Villain group uses a 50 man ventrilo server and it adds atleast 100% to the fun factor

i'm a big fan of Ventrilo if you couldn't tell
