Voice communication

I was wondering, what do you people use for vocal communication? Is skype the choice, or ventrilo?

Myself I fancy Skype, but haven’t used it for ingame use yet. Skype has a very good usage in Linux, and I have an own computer for Skype, as it may hog some ressources, and those are dedicated for PE :wink:

If anyone is interested, you may add me with the skype-name zhivam or callto://zhivam

We use TeamSpeak. I’ve heard Ventrillo is better but, TS works for us and my soc. mate that runs the server is too lazy to change it. :rolleyes:

We use TS.

Skype was to unconfortable for me.
The other i not know yet. Is it also for free?

Since i run my own servers, TS gives me best i can ask from a free app.

The good thing on TS is that i can define a hottkey to activate my voice.

Yours.

I am looking for either a vent or ts server to join when im playin. Ventrillo is clearer but TS has a better interface IMO.

Yes it is. See for yourself. Ventrilo .

I love skype, and i use it all the time in PE :slight_smile:

with my cousin

it rocks…

:slight_smile: :smiley:

Well, for personal use, i use skype. Since a lot of my relatives are in the U.S. But, my soc mate, K-Rock runs a team speak server.

Just as side note: Shadow-Ale, did you know theirs a company that made a side-program to run with Skype for Webcams? It works really well to!

Yep, SKYPE realy helps when you team hunt. :wise:

Yeah, but doesn’t support linux yet. And I doubt it ever will, as webcams and linux is hard to get to work, as there’s only a couple of supported chips (ov511 being one). But if it comes, I’m quitting msn for good :stuck_out_tongue:

I use Ventrilo. :slight_smile:

Nowadays I just run my own server when I’m going to hop on with some friends. I don’t go on too often though, I mainly used it for CS.

I either use ventrilo or TS. I like ventrilo better but it seems most people in PE use TS. There are quite a few servers out there now for PE :slight_smile:

Is TS supported in linux?

EDIT: yes it does, at least teamspeak2.

Not sure - I don’t see it listed on their website ( www.goteamspeak.com )

Oops :stuck_out_tongue: Didn’t even pay attention to that

ya everyone i no uses teamspeak, its alot of fun going on hunting with it :silly2:

ACK! You beat me to this topic! I just posted in my soc. forum about using a voice communication system for in-game stuff. I had suggested Skype, but you can only group chat with up to 4 people. TS, apparently, you can do more.

I do have Skype on my comp. Name is OnaLaFleur if anyone wants to add me. I just installed it yesterday, so I don’t have any contacts yet. :slight_smile:

I’ll probably download TS or Ventrillo also though, since those are more group friendly. However, I thought I heard that Ventrillo needs someone with a server or something to host it? Dunno.

I had a look at teamspeak, and has decided not to use it ever. Their top news article is something I regard as utterly BS. Going after pirates who actually does a lot of commercial for them is far beyound my comprehension.

Yes, I am a pirate, but I pay for what I use when the time calls for it.
