TEAMSPEAK HOWTO

TEAMSPEAK HOWTO

Postby SteveMcqueen » 01.15.09

Attention.
Teamspeak is outdated, we switched to mumble. TS Server is still available.



well, if you read this you certainly have problems with setting up your teamspeak.
setting it right (in a way that is fine volume-wise) is not a difficult task, if you know your system a bit. but some stuff on this later on. (at least for winxp, i fkn hate that vista crap)
i try to describe all as good as possible, but i am just too lazy to make pictures for you bastards. :P

OFFICIAL DSWP TEAMSPEAK FAQ

first
you have to have an account on this forum, to log on the dswp teamspeak server.
when you created one, you have a username and a password with whom you can log onto the forum here.
you need these for teamspeak.

second

you have to have a microphone that works, mean you have to have your soundcard/motherboard drivers set. could be a problem when everything is set right, but nothing works. in general, if skype works, teamspeak has to, too.

third

you need teamspeak or teamspeex installed, get it from http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloads (depending on you operating system).
with linux it can be quite a task to get your sound set right, every linuxxer will know what i mean.

fourth

i dont know how teamspeex looks like, so i cannot give a detailed manual on it, but if you have a mac you are certainly nerdy enough to get along on your own.
for linux the steps are the same as for windows, i am not mistaken.

SETTING UP TEAMSPEAK TO CONNECT TO WURST

you start teamspeak
CONNECTION *click*
---CONNECT *click*
in the next window
SERVERS *rightclick*
---ADD SERVER
in the right, there is LABEL, SERVER ADDRESS, NICKNAME etc.
you have to set
LABEL
dswp (is just the description in teamspeak... call it 'hullabulla' if you like)
SERVER ADDRESS
ts.dswp.de (essential, anything else = you cant connect)
NICKNAME:
just set the nick you usually have in urban terror
then choose REGISTERED
LOGIN NAME:
your nick in the dswp forum (essential, anything else = you cant connect)
USER PASSWORD:
your password for the forum (essential, anything else = you cant connect)


when all is set accordingly, you *doubleclick* onto the server you just created and be there.
make a test, and then proceed here.

so, once you are there, there are several other problems that might likely occur. i.e. :


- you can hear yourself while speaking (which means you are too loud for the others, too)
=> in xp you open the panel which lets you set you windows volume. there you lower the meter for your mic. not only for replay, BUT FOR RECORDING TOO.
under 'recording' (dunno if that is correct) it sets the sensitivity of your mic, if its too sensitive you will make your mates deaf.
the microphone bar under 'replay' (dunno if that's right either) just turns off what you hear of yourself.

- you are permanent "on", means always sending noises (if you have speaking via TS bound to a key = PUSH TO TALK MODE this will of course not happen. or your keyboard or system is somehow fucked.)
=> in teamspeak: SETTINGS >> SOUND INPUT/OUTPUT SETTINGS. set the arrow of the lower bar, the VOICE ACTIVATION LEVEL more to the right, albeit not completely, to shout

- you cant hear your mates / your mates are too loud.
=> in teamspeak: SETTINGS >> SOUND INPUT/OUTPUT SETTINGS. set the arrow of the OUTPUT VOLUME BAR more to the left/right.

LINUX TEAMSPEAK HOWTO

Postby madmax0204 » 02.09.09

[*]For linux users out there on deb based distros you can easily install teamspeak 2.0.32.60 (version available atm) by:

sudo apt-get install teamspeak-client

in you terminal.
Program will be auto installed and you'll get the shortcut in your Internet submenu of the main menu.

After starting teamspeak, add the server as described in SteveMcqueen's post.
Then go to settings/options and set sound driver to other and type in /dev/alsa or /dev/pulseaudio depending on what sound system you use.
Start Urban Terror and your good to go.

Thanks to SteveMcqueen for the upped post.


[*]For those that are on other distros go to teamspeak download page http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloads and get the latest version for linux.
Go to dir where you downloaded it and type:
tar -jxvf ts2_client_rc2_2032.tar.bz2
to upack it. Then go to ts2_client_rc2_2032 dir and do
./configure
make
sudo make install

After that do the same as above.

thanks, but right now it seems that mumble will replace teamspeak for dswp... try it and you will know why.

I somehow believe thats ubuntu way, don't think that debian etch or lenny have the latest teamspeak build, maybe sid.
