Starting on Saturday, March 5th, DPG will be exclusively using TeamSpeak 3 for its voice communications.
I will leave the Ventrilo server up until the renewal runs out on it, which will be in a week or two.
The IP for our TeamSpeak server is:
66.225.232.194
You
DO NOT need a port or a password to connect. Our server uses the default port.
Now, for those of you who will complain about us going to TeamSpeak instead of Ventrilo, let me tell you the reasons for our switching:
- We have used Ventrilo in DPG for over 5 years now, but we have never been able to find a reliable provider
- TeamSpeak is free to use and host on our Deathstar box, Ventrilo is not free.
- I am looking to cut our overall costs, which includes hosting Ventrilo through a third-party hosting company
- We will never have a problem with our TeamSpeak server being down for a couple hours or even days due to third-party hosting issues
I expect everyone to have an open mind and not a condescending and whiny one now that we are using TeamSpeak.
One complaint I know I will get is that TeamSpeak doesn't sound like Ventrilo and is just more annoying to bounce around channels. I have a solution for everyone.. please download this Sound Mod for TeamSpeak:
Clean_soundpack1.1.zip
Extract the Clean folder in the .zip file to your
C:\Program Files\TeamSpeak 3 Client\Sound folder. After that, restart your TeamSpeak Client and go into Settings > Options > Notifications and switch the Sound Pack to
Clean sounds & Short TTS. This will make everything sound like you were used to on Vent.
Our TeamSpeak server is setup for the most part, including all the channels. I will give everyone permissions as I see you on TeamSpeak. There will be constant changes to it as we customize and make it look how we want (which is a nice thing about TeamSpeak), so if you have any suggestions or ideas, hit me up with them.
I will be updating our Status monitor on the main webpage to our TeamSpeak server in the next few hours and we will be officially off Ventrilo.
