GWJ Ventrilo Server FAQ

Yeah, just grab something that looks likely. If you think you'll be playing that game very much, you can ask for a channel to be made, and someone will get to it reasonably quickly.

The place is never so packed that you can't use an empty room for whatever strikes your fancy. I'd say just avoid using any channels that are labeled as commentary, filming, recording, or anything like that. In case someone is recording a playthrough or spectating a match with commentary. Not a common occurance, but that's all I got.

I reinstalled my system and don't seem to remember my Vent account password. Can someone reset it for me? Thanks!

Help!

Sheeit, I don't work on weekends!

Mondays are kinda sketchy, too.

Let me just get the kids down.

Done!

Ouch, I didn't check the thread until now. Sorry, Mantis!

No worries, I just tweaked my ventrilo2.ini file so I could connect as a basic user for a quick fix.

Oh, I gave Fed some private love for getting me fixed up, but let me give him some public love here. Might be frowned upon in Tejas, so good thing I'm in CO now.

You may all go to hell smoke a bowl, and I will go to Texas.

Bah, something happened and I lost my admin status.

But you still have your password, right?

Your admin status is easily restored by other admins. I can do it tonight, or someone else can if they have access to Vent during the day.

Yeah, I'm logged in with the password you set. I'm just not getting logged in as an admin. I don't remember having to "elevate" with the server admin login step before and can't find a PM with the server password in my history either.

[Edit] Nevermind! Looks like Darkstar finally fixed my control panel login. I was able to fix myself up, which means I could have reset my password to I guess. It must've been TheWalt's ticket that got it cleared up as I haven't been able to login to their control panel for a couple of years.

good deal LM!

Hey all. I'm trying to set up vent on my Mac. I've got all my server settings right, and the password (to my knowledge) but it's telling me the server can't validate me or I have the wrong port number?

Anyone that wants to troubleshoot and has done this on a Mac Tweet me.

I don't know what to do there, other than to say make sure you double check the port settings. If you need a password reset, post again.

Wht would a password reset do? There's only the one password, right?

Right.

Have you tried making a throw-away account just to see if you can get connected?

Maybe one team channel in there? I dunno, one they get xp glitches fixed I assume we'll team a little more.

Nevermind.

I think we need a Trading Card Game catch all channel in vent. Maybe call it TCG catch all.

Done.

Heyo! I sent a PM to TheWalt but haven't gotten a response yet, so I figured I'd share the question here just in case anyone else knew the answer.

We on the Extra-Life team are hoping to use the Vent server, but we'd like a room specific to Extra-Life. I'm not sure how Vent works for the most part, so I don't know if this requires permissions or if there's a room limit or what. The question was also raised about inviting non-GWJers in for the duration, but seeing as there's a 50-person cap on the server I'd imagine that might be a limitation.

Naturally, we'd like any GWJers following the streams to come on in and chat with us.

So all you want is a room? No problem.

And for future reference, asking questions here is almost always faster, as there are a whole bunch of us with Channel Admin abilities.

To answer the other question, there is no stated policy regarding non-Goodjers. I'd say the policy is to only invite guests that you are happy to claim, if you know what I mean.

But by all means, people do that all the time. AFAIK it's never led to a problem.

I don't think we get anywhere near server capacity most of the time. BF4 just launched, but I'm not clear if people will be using Vent or the in-game option. Goodjers playing together would take precedence over non-Goodjers, imho, and I believe TheWalt's ho.

Excellent! My original thought was to include the Vent server in the "Welcome Message" Twitch has, but I have no clue how many folks will be watching (as in "I expect 0, but who knows?"). So I'll see about how best to handle that.

All we need is a room titled "Extra Life 2013" or some such, and then we can all give it a test tomorrow or Friday night I suppose. That way we can all interact with each other, and any other GWJers that want to hop in and chat or see what's going on can do so.
