Some quick mumble FAQ's *by Magus*

Why the fuck would you use mumble?

You have much to learn! Mumble is widely used for it's lack of latency and voice clarity. In the competitive scene, ventrillo isn't utilized as much due it's latency issues. Mumble is also extreme easy to use when spliting/picking teams.

Now where the fuck am I supposed to get this bumble thing?

Don't fear! I'll provide you with links you lazy Rookie!
http://mumble.sourceforge.net/ <-------- Download the appropriate version for your operating system (windows for windows users, OSX for mac users, etc)


Great, I downloaded this random piece of software, and am completely ignorant as to how I am supposed to figure this damn humble out!

Big suprise: You downloaded something you didn't know how to use. Follow a couple easy steps and you'll have mumble working for YOU!

Step one: Install mumble. If you have issues with this, there's one easy solution: Throw your pc out the window. Then start over.

Step two: Launch mumble.

Step three: Set up your configuration before you join a server and deafen everyone with your breathing. Run the audio wizard located on the "Configure" tab. Now, most importantly:

Step four: Go to "configure" then select "settings". Now, on the bottom left, you'll see a box that says "Advanced". Select it. Now, make sure you have "Audio Input" selected. Look 1/3 of the way down and find "Trasmit". Click the drop down and select "Push to talk".

Step five: Select the "Shortcuts" tab in the settings interface. Now, click add. Set a key, then where it says "function", select "Push to talk"

Step six: Connect to the server! In this case, the server will be:

Servername: ATG
Address: addictiontogaming.com
Port: 64738
Name: *Your name*

There is no password to join our mumble, however some mumble servers may prompt you to do so.

Step seven: Now never fucking complain to Magus about mumble again.

I don't think any of us have tags in mumble.

It just doesn't allow any characters other than alphanumeric and spaces I believe. Same goes for channel names etc, you can't put apostrophes in even.

I think there is some way to get it working if I recall correctly, but I never bothered before. If it's an issue I can always mess around and try to work it, if people are still using the server

Alt codes?

"New".....that adds a server. But you seem to have it.

Yep, that's what I get too

what's the password partyinusa doesn't let you in

You guys are bad. At life.

Mumble is bad.

Mumble pwns Vent. Just a little trickier to configure. Mumble>>Vent>in-game voice. When I play with some of my RL friends we use a Vent instead of game chat. Even in games where it is just us vs comp or something (i.e. SC2). I'm thinking about putting a Mumble server up for us instead, I'm tired of the fail ubers due to Vent lag.

I finally figured out why I could never join the same mumble server as you guys. On the main site you have the port listed as 10045 instead of 10015.

I used to be so witty. God, college has really destroyed me.
