Saturo's totally kickass Ventrilo server!

Unread post by Saturo »

Ventrilo
Okay, the first thing I'm going to say, is that while this should work just fine for the EU guild, the US guild should expect serious latency, I mean, it's a friggin' ocean (and Norway) in between us. That said;
Installation
1. Download this file.
2. Follow the instructions in installing it.
And that's basically it. If the client asks you to update it, don't. I'm running an old server version, and it requires the older client to operate successfully. Don't worry tough, the only thing you lose out on is the opportunity for Ryno to remotely manage the server. :lol: Yes, I am mocking you. :lol:

Setup
Now that the client is installed, open it. We will now set it up for use. This will include getting an username, and entering the information required to connect.
We'll start with getting you a username!
1. Press the arrow next to the scrolldown box called Username. This will open a dialoguebox, hopefully named Setup User.
2. Click "New".
3. Enter the username you want. I'd suggest taking your forum name.
4. You may ignore the "Phonetic box". You can just leave this with your username. It basically spells out what you say if you use the chat feature instead of the VoIP.
5. Leave the other two boxes empty, and click OK.

Now that we have a username, let's get the server hooked up.
1. Click the arrow next to server. The box "Connection Editor" should pop up.
2. Click "New".
3. Name the new server "No Mercy". This is the name of my server. (It was originally for my TF2 clan :headbang: ).
4. Hostname or IP should be "78.73.42.45" (Without the quotes)
5. The port number is "3784". (Again, without the quotes.)
6. Press OK.

Now that the client is set up, press connect to connect to the server. If all is well, you should hear a sound, and any users should be in the box below. To talk, press the "LCONTROL" (Left Control key). You may change this bind in "Setup...".

If you want me to put the server online, request a time here. No, I won't put the server online for you and your friends during your CS tournament. No, I won't put it on if you and grandma want to talk. Strictly Petopian stuff.

(US users should expect serious latency, if you want me to, I can help you set up a server too.)

This is more of a reminder for me.

Ryno booked the server for Friday, 9:00PM EST. This is 3:00 AM GMT+1.

Ahah, I look forward to it this Friday :D

I already have a name from back in the day...I assume it'd be the same thing regardless of whose Ventrilo server we use?

Yup, if you already have a client, you can skip everything but the server setup. Just make sure it's the right version of the client. I don't know if older versions work, but newer ones do not.

Hrm...I seem to have 3.0.4.

I haven't done anything with it in forever. I remember downloading it like a year ago and I haven't really touched it since, except for one Sarth pug...nearly a year ago.

That's incredibly too much new! The highest version you can have with my server is 2.1.4.
Luckily, the version I linked should be able to install alongside your current version.

Ah, the version you linked won't install properly for me. It says I have to delete my current version... and I really don't want to bother with all the settings if I do.

Also my internet security just came up, saying it blocked a trojan from your link.

:o T-t-trojan!? I'll get a better version then. I think there's some kind of "multibox" too.

I'll try and find a mac version for you too.

Yeah, being an older version, I'm not surprised something malicious was there. ><

Thanks much for looking for a better version though.

Same here, looks safe on all accounts.

But it still wants me to delete my current version of ventrilo first, ugh...

I'm sorry, but... You'll just have to let go...

Also, been looking around, but I can't find a Mac version yet. I'll look some more tomorrow.

Would ya know if all my settings would get deleted when doing this? I'm afraid I can't delete all of them, so many vents saved there I don't want to get rid of, along with gobs of usernames, along with special settings for volume...

Absolutely no idea. But you can always copy your current Vent program folder, install my version, and then try copying your backup over mine. If that doesn't work, you can just reinstall your new version, and overwrite it with our backup. It SHOULD work...

I THINK this is a Mac OS client.
Someone check if it is?

(Please run it past a security software first. Just to be safe.)

EDIT: Also, for those of you with newer versions, check this out. Basically, install MY client in a non-standard directory, and then run your new one like this:
