Ever wonder what your IRC friends sound like in real life? Would you like to voice-chat with friends while you game?
We have set up a Mumble server open for AfterNETers to voice-chat with eachother, or in groups. Conversations are grouped into channels similar to IRC. Come try it out:
Get a Microphone: Many laptops have them built in. Or use a headset.
-
Configure your sound card: The first time Mumble runs a wizard will help you. Please configure it to use 'push to talk' rather than voice activation. We find voice activation to cause annoying open-mic events.
Configure a push-to-talk shortcut. I like Right-Shift. Under settings→Shortcuts, click Add: Function=push to talk, shortcut=Shift_R
Connect to afternet.org : Open Server→Connect. Click “Add New...” and enter us: Label is AfterNET, Address is afternet.org, port is 64738. For username, set your afternet authserv account. (Not currently required but may be tied in later). Then click Connect!
Drag your username to the #AfterNET channel to say hi
