TUTORIAL: connecting to ventrilo the basics Connecting to Vent & The Basics Basic setup & config for running Ventrilo:
1) First go to http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php and download the latest client version for your operating system. As exampled below
- Normally you will want the current Windows Client. I suggest not running any beta client if you’re having issues just connecting to Vent in general.
2) Install the file you download. This quick guide assumes you can install software on your machine. If not you need help to get that to happen.
3) Run the program (Should have put an icon on your desktop or start menu)
4) At the start you should have a window at the top with boxes for User Name, Server, Bindings then a bunch of buttons down the right side.
5) Click the -> Button next to UserName and you get a Window to come up to enter Username Info.
6) Hit NEW and put in your username and click OK
7) If your name is hard to pronounce you can always put something in the Phonetic box or a nickname there that people here when you join server, channels, etc. (Hit the play button to here it played back for you to test it)
8) Leave Description & Work Dir blank and click OK
9) Back on the main window now click the -> button next to SERVER
10) Click NEW and enter a name for the new connection (PK or something with meaning to you)and click OK
11) Enter the IP address, Port Number, Password as required. You can check or uncheck the checkboxes, but default is all checked. Click OK when finished
11A) You can find the info you need for the above info in a sticky post in this forum
http://www.oldtimersguild.com/vb/sho...-Ventrilo-Info
12) Leave BINDINGS empty. You should now be able to hit CONNECT. You can hit Connect then Disconnect if you want to test if it's working. If you get an error at this point more then likely the firewall on your PC/Router is blocking Vent access (This happens on firewalls that are set very strictly. If this is the case feel free to drop TransWorlder a PM and he'll work with you on getting it resolved.)
Before you actually start using vent you will want to adjust a few settings for the common good. You can find most of the house rules in the connection info post linked above, but here's how to configure them.
1) Hit the SETUP button on the right side of Vent
2) We require you use PUSH-TO-TALK (This means you must have a key held-down or mouse-button held-down to enable speech) This is really for the betterment of everyone so we don't hear people heavy breathing, and don't cut in/out at the start/end of conversations.
2A) Click the USE PUSH-TO-TALK Hotkey in the top left corner. 1/2 way down the path is the HOTKEY box where you actually enter the key you use to talk. Make sure this is a key that's easy to get to with your hand configuration in the game, but not something you will be pushing all the time.. (like don't use W if that's the key you use to move forward, etc) CONTROL, ALT, `, Middle Mouse, etc are all good keys and work fine.
3) Input/Output Device: In the top right corner you have listed the Input/Output boxes. Depending on your sound setup these are usually defaulted to Default DirectSound Device. This may or may not work for you. If you hit the drop-down you usually pick your actual sound card as well. Again this depend on your system so might have to try both methods to get input & output.
4) Amplifiers: This is in the bottom right corner. Depending on how far from your mouth the mic is located you may need to adjust these amplifiers a bit. Outbound is your voice sent to server, Inbound is everyone else coming to you. Adjust as needed to make defaults louder or softer.
5) Lastly if you can connect and hear things, but people say they can't hear your voice you can go here to test your input. Bottom left corner is the TEST WITH area. Pick a codec (GSM 6.10 with 44KHz works nice) Click TEST then hit your push-to-talk key you should see the message -- BEGIN -- in the box next to the test.. Speak normally then let go and you should see -- END -- it will then play-back what it heard. If you hear yourself then it's getting sound. If you hear nothing that means you have no sound going into the computer.
That should get you up and running. It's up to you to play with the bindings and other tabs in the settings if you want to get more advanced, but this should at least allow you to get connected to the servers.
