Altitude Community Mumble Server

tec27 · #1 02-10-2010, 07:36 AM

We were talking about trying to get some sort of voice hosting for the community and specifically competitive altitude in #tl.altitude earlier, when I realized that Mumble servers are incredibly resource-efficient and I probably have enough leftover bandwidth/resources on the Proleague VPS to run one. Thus, I am now running a Mumble server there that you are all free to use. Keep reading for instructions on how to get/install mumble, or skip to the bottom for the server information.

What is Mumble?
Mumble is a voice-chat program similar to Ventrilo, but it has some distinct advantages that make me prefer it. For one, its extremely fast. The lag you see in Ventrilo can be fairly large, but with Mumble, its often extremely close to your ping to that person. So for a lot of people, you might not experience more than 50ms of lag before you hear what they have said. Mumble also has a great wizard for configuring your microphone that really helps everyone sound as good as possible. Lastly, Mumble has version for Windows, Linux, and Mac and some cool plugins that provide overlays and such in a lot of popular games (including an OpenGL overlay that should work in Altitude, haven't tested it yet though).

Where do I download Mumble?
To download the Mumble client, simply navigate to:
http://mumble.sourceforge.net/Main_Page
And download the proper client for your operating system.

Installation should be simple, and from there its simply a matter of configuring.

How do I configure Mumble?
I highly recommend you use their Audio Wizard to configure your microphone. It should ask you if you would like to do it the first time you run it, or you can do it by choosing Configure->Audio Wizard in the menu. Simply follow the instructions and you should end up with a nicely configured setup.

I also recommend you leave the Certificate settings at what the wizard has set if this is your first time using Mumble.

How do I connect to the server?
Simply choose Server->Connect and hit 'Add new...'

The server information for the Altitude Community Mumble Server is:
Address: lively.shieldbattery.net
Port: 64277
Username: Whatever you want, preferrably your Altitude name

Upon connecting for the first time, you should right-click your name and choose Register. This will allow me to place you in groups/give you access to special channels/etc. down the road.

Feel free to use this server for anything Altitude-related, and let me know if you would like a special channel for your team/clan or if there are any problems I could fix.

Very nice, hoping for ladder integration along the line

Ah, very nice. I was going to set up a Mumble server on the {arr} servers for clan and public use, but I guess I can avoid that hassle now.

Make sure you have the newest version of Mumble. Ever since version 1.2 you have to be using 1.2 or higher to connect to new servers.

Beagle · #6 02-10-2010, 08:53 AM

Successssss

idk · #7 02-10-2010, 11:15 AM

Nice to see a public one. Good job tec!

My in-game lag increased with 100-200 ms

tyr · #8 02-10-2010, 11:48 AM

This is going to be epic.
Just log in every time you play so there will always be people to talk with. Or even if you're not playing.

You may need to visit this thread before you understand anything that is said on Mumb - o waiiiiiit.

Beagle · #10 02-10-2010, 12:29 PM

Mumble tonight basically devolved into nothing but Plinkett. And I wouldn't have had it any other way.

You probably need to transfer your certificate over. Not really sure where to find it, but that's how Mumble deals with user registration.

TEC this is great. Oh wait. Make a room where we can commentate on APL matches. Someone records. He and others commentate.
Oh and: yoiu should commentate with your friend again. (referring to vapor vs ACE)

nesnl · #20 02-11-2010, 07:32 AM

Referring to these games perhaps?

Hey yes you're rightni forgot those vs in to the walls and team solid. (these guys really followed their name, they crashed with like 4 after each other at cave.)

tec27 · #22 02-11-2010, 07:41 AM

You guys should be able to create your own custom rooms in the Custom Channels thing, I think. At least I tried to set that up :P Just make sure you're registered (you'll have a + to the right of your name if you are) and right click on that one and hit 'Add'. Then you should be able to manage it as you see fit.

wolf'j'max · #23 02-11-2010, 08:09 AM

Thanks tec! I think it will be alot more fun to commentate with othrr such as chill and artosis do. (http://youtube.com/nevake
Also TSL matches which they commentate.)

Beagle · #24 02-11-2010, 08:31 AM

Oh, hurri and me, we got plans for that

CCN · #25 02-11-2010, 09:48 AM

tgleaf · #26 02-12-2010, 04:49 PM

Tec, is it possible to password protect a channel?

Evan20000 · #27 02-12-2010, 04:57 PM

Downloading. I don't have a mic, but I'll listen in on what you all are saying.

EDIT: Server connection failed. Connection refused.

tyr · #28 02-12-2010, 04:57 PM

Yes, it's possible.

Apathy · #29 02-12-2010, 10:06 PM

Hey every time i use mumble this white box appears on my alt screen with or without full screen on.

tec27 · #30 02-13-2010, 12:22 AM

Turn off the Overlay in the settings and that issue will probably be resolved.

Evan20000 · #31 02-13-2010, 02:20 AM

I got it to work. No mic yet (I'll work on that), but I'll get on anyway.

Herodadotus · #32 02-13-2010, 06:47 PM

Same here. It works great, even with a built in mic. Probably won't use it much until others in my clan get it, though.

Stormich · #33 02-13-2010, 07:17 PM

I was spamming that the white box was overlay problem and nobody was paying attn

wolf'j'max · #34 02-13-2010, 08:57 PM

..tec. This is the best thing ever. This morning with a drunk ufo and X. It was so much fun. Thanks again.

-MH-CaptainVogez · #35 02-14-2010, 12:24 AM

From the Mumble website (http://mumble.sourceforge.net/Instal...ble#Mac_OS_X): Note that the official releases of Mumble 1.2.x are not currently compatible with Mac OS X 10.4, but you can try the experimental snapshots found here warning: use at your own risk; these have not been thoroughly tested, and may have bugs.

Mandrad · #39 03-05-2010, 08:21 PM

Tx Tgleaf,

I noticed that, thats 1 of the reasons im trying to go ventrilo

Why don't you just install one of the experimental snapshots? They're not likely to be *that* unstable.

And no, its not possible to use Ventrilo because Mumble and Ventrilo are not the same thing. On top of that Ventrilo has horrible, horrible limitations and licensing agreements, so I will never run a Ventrilo server.
