Ludo Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) After a rigorous stress test (i.e. pcktlnt and myself) I am happy to announce there is 24/7 voice (and text) chat server available for Reaper forumites. It utilizes the free open source software Mumble. Mumble combines a very light weight voice chat with text chat for free with no ads or other junk. It can be found here: http://mumble.sourceforge.net/ If you want to use the voice functions you'll need a mic. Tips Make sure your mic, headphones etc are plugged in and recognized by your computer before you start Mumble. You can set up nicknames for Chat channels so if your Reaper forum name is taken don't worry you can still make it display in the chat room. Once you start Mumble, run through the setup wizard. If all your hardware is installed properly it should adjust all your settings so you can be heard and hear. DO NOT USE the always on option for your mic. If you are not using headphones, plan on having background noise, or like to sing to yourself while you paint, use the "push to talk option. See ReaperBryan's post on why no singing here If you don't have a mic you can still listen and use the text chat. If you want to provide video I suggest using some sort of livestream service like Twitch.tv *MUMBLE SERVER SETTINGS* Label: Whatever you want it to beAddress: 209.239.114.150Port: 2262Username: Whatever you want everyone to see in the directoryPassword: reaperforums It won't ask you for the password till you try to connect. The infographic is realtime so you can use it to check status. Edited June 16, 2014 by Ludo 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aard_Rinn Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I've found something called eternitycraft.dyndns.org... I can't find a spot for a password. It says: eternitycraft.dyndns.org AardRinn Private c Any advice from there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 I've found something called eternitycraft.dyndns.org... I can't find a spot for a password. It says: eternitycraft.dyndns.org AardRinn Private c Any advice from there? No idea what that is. Did you download Mumble and install it? If you haven't you'll have to download it from the link in the first post. Once it is installed you'll want to make a new connection. It will ask you for all the info I listed in the first post.

Girot Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I will get all up on this over the weekend, though I'll be working on Darkraven stuff rather than painting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaosscorpion Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Hmm sounds like when we used Ventrilo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I've used Ventrilo and Teamspeak but I think Mumble has been the best quality thus far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
