Guys I'm a long time Ventrilo user and not used to TS... is there any special/hidden settings that stop it sounding so horrendously bad? Everyone sounds like they've swallowed their microphone and when more than one person speaks at once its just a complete mess of noise!
Failing that, does anybody want to try ventrilo as I have one running.

What I mean is the general sound quality. Whispers mean you have to be in a diff channel and then can speak out to another channel??

For example.
20 people in the same room. Ventrilo sounds crystal clear and TS sounds like someone slapping an elephant penis against their microphone, but the problem gets much worse when you have say 3 people speaking at once. Ventrilo sounds like you would expect - its more difficult to make out what one particular person is saying but thats obvious, TS goes all out and just blurs everything into one big messy noise that blocks out everything.

ive been on ts channels with over 1000 people on and everything has been crystal clear. sounds like the channel codec is set to a crap quality to me
 
Well I have finished ordering everything for my rig now. I just have to wait for the bits to come through, ordered this today for £18 which I did not think was bad. Really excited about this hoping I can run everything in high with no issues! Will defo be jumping on the team speak channel.
 
There is no password, It is manually locked, and can only be unlocked by the admin, which is most likely on TS, you get the password box as a default thing, but its done by the admin only.
 
Well I sent L33 a message in Steam and he didn't answer me. Who else is an admin that I can message in Steam?
 
Really enjoyed the game again this afternoon, its weird how immersed you get. Is there anyplans to play vs other ppl as a clan? would defo be interested as a medic.

But I know i asked a few times for the option to show people on the map but could not find the show status command, is it a menu option of key command?
 
id rather us Vent tbh iv never liked ts2 in teh last 8-9 years of use and love vent, can hear all and sounds perfect

as fr that last game type i didnt enjoy it at all, it was too much of a rush to get to the next point to which at one point me Gornall and hammer had to hump it from one point to the other which took ages.. in fact you cleared teh twon as i arrived from running it :( and you was all off again so i jus killed my self and wiat for you to reach next point

the ranking idea is good but it punishes you badly if you become a driver i was demoted cos i was driving ppl in the LAV. offers no real value for me to drive when i get demoted and then cant drive the dam LAV, i just lost intrest as it dragged on cos i had been so uninvolved for almost 40 mins of he game with hiking and then missing out on the next ride

any how good games all teh same tonite

Guys I have some good news and some bad news.
The good news is that for the past 6 days, our server is the most popular of all arma/arma2 servers in the world :D Our overall historical ranking is now 20th and continues climbing daily of course.

Now for the bad news.
My server hosting provider allows 500gb of data transfer per month per server. Usually I'd be lucky if i used 10gb of this allowance as this server was not used for much really.
The Arma 2 server is using around 28Gb PER DAY (around 200Gb/week or 840Gb in a 30 day month) which is a shocking amount, and means that the the bandwidth allowance is going to be used up by this friday and as I'm not sure of the over-usage costs it could potentially mean that the server is stopped until the allowance is reset at the beginning of the new billing month (19th).
I have mailed the datacentre hosting provider for clarification etc, but just thought I'd give you all a heads up.
ArmA 2 server is unbelievable resource hungry in terms of CPU and network bandwidth, never seen a game server like it.

Thats good and also bad :(

what if you limited the players to say 20? 25 would that make a impact on use?

also looked at player starts :D if you combine sarcasm and [ocuk]sarcasm im 6th on the server :D almost clocked up 30 hours :p

i hate the idea of not playing on the ocuk server would suck lots :(
