Draft is tomorrow. We’ve been using voice chat for our other drafts to make them more interesting. You don’t need a microphone - if you don’t have one you can listen in and respond in text.
Instructions:
Draft is in less than 24 hours.
As I said before, it’d be cool if we could all get on voice chat during the draft. I know some of you won’t have microphones but you should all have speakers so you can at least listen to the conversation and chime in with typing. It should be interesting.
Get ventrilo - it’s a free download. Install it. It will either ask you to create a user name off the bat, or on the main screen you can click the -> next to the user name dropdown to create one.
Once that’s done, select your user name, and click the -> next to the servers box. Under that, enter
Hostname : vent3.gamespeak.com
Port 4303
Password is d*******s - as in, 1920s style d_______s. I don’t want to post the password openly in case some bot crawls over it. If you can’t figure out the password PM me.
Now click setup, check “push to talk hotkey” in the top left, and pick a key to activate when you want to talk in the hotkey tab on the left middle. Then when you hold down that key, you’ll transmit.
That’s pretty much it. It should work smoothly and be fun. Try to set it up today - connect to the server and make sure you connect. You’ll see Room 1, Room 2, and Room 3 along with your user name above them if you did it right.
In the setup page, click the monitor button. You should start seeing numbers scroll by - if the numbers go up when you speak, it’s set up correctly. If they stay near 0, something is wrong - your mic is muted, it isn’t configured correctly, something like that.
Anyway, get it working tomorrow, and if you need tech support send me a PM.
