Title: Dedicated free TeamSpeak for Grogheads?

Dedicated free TeamSpeak for Grogheads?

The Dogs of War have a dedicated TeamSpeak server we use for anything from in game comms to meetings/chat. I would like to open the TeamSpeak up to my fellow GrogHeads.

All you need is a microphone and the free software. The environment is controlled so no trolling, troublemakers, spammers etc allowed.

If there is interest then i can create a "GrogHeads" room with some of you as the admins.

Let me know if it is something you will be interested in.

What is it?
TeamSpeak is proprietary voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) software that allows computer users to speak on a chat channel with fellow computer users, much like a telephone conference call. A TeamSpeak user will often wear a headset with a microphone.

That sounds good Asid, I remember the peripheral I had years ago to use teamspeak, it had buttons to connect to diff channels etc.. I sound to young on chat to be taken seriously :)  have you seen this asid http://www.hamsphere.com/  because if you had a paid version on your server would be cool

Hi Gameleaper.

Just talk with a deeper voice  ;D

I have seen the Ham radio software. Very interesting :)

TeamSpeak can greatly increase the fun and immersion in multiplayer. Real time voice with your team mates is an experience :)

Thanks for doing this Asid, I had a small server we were using for WoW and Civ.. etc... but getting laid off, so not sure how long I can continue. You should put up a clan pay link so people can chip in.

Yes, very cool indeed!

Maybe we should have another go at 'The Ship' with TS. does anyone know if, now that the game is remastered, is it any easier to set up MP games?



BTW, now Hilly and the Donald are along for the ride:

Thanks, might have to get a mic and give this a go on 7 days to die.  RE: the Ship, the dedicated server stuff is still in beta, its multiplayer only so the multiplayer should be easier to get going.

Definitely a good idea. Maybe it will even encourage us to play games together more often.

You should make THIS pic your avatar.  :)

I'll be monitoring this thread to see what games you guys end up deciding to play. The opportunity to join a trustworthy crew for multiplayer games is not to be missed.

Thanks, Asid!

We can add games rooms when and if they are needed. At the moment we have:

•   Age of Empires
•   ARMA
•   DCS
•   Falcon BMS
•   FSX/P3D
•   Graviteam
•   Insurgency
•   Life is Feudal
•   Naval Action
•   Racing
•   Steel Beasts pro
•   VBS
•   World of Warships
•   Civ IV:" Metal Dog's  channel beware"

Some get used more than others. We also hang out and talk games etc.

Regards

Wouldn't mind checking out some Arma MP.. does it have to be modded first?

I didn't know Falcon had MP.. I installed it before I rebuilt my system, but never got around to learning how to fly.

Many of the MP missions we do have no mods. If we do have any then we link to them and try and keep them small.

We use CBA & TaskForce radio as default now.

Our Arma mission this Friday: Click Here (http://dogsofwarvu.com/forum/index.php/topic,2847.0.html)
