Player/Staff Chat -- Discussion thread

[Nyr]

If you can't make it into the chat (or you can, but are having issues) this is the place to be.

Please see this post for details on how to connect.

We'll be starting up in about 45 minutes.

EDITED: I no longer need help installing mumble - there's no work around other than spending time researching older versions of it that work off older drivers, which may or may not be compatable with the current system requirements. Have fun at the meeting though everyone!


Need techinical help installing (not downloading) mumble. I'm getting a popup saying that in order to install it, I have to update my RealTek audio, and my TrueVector monitor. This seems like a whole lot of computer changes I have to make, for a program that I might never use again. Is there some work-around?

[AmandaGreathouse]

Yeah, when I go to open it to install after downloading, it says it's something about not a valid install and windows. I suppose I'll wind up sitting this one out in favor of reading the rest of my book unless someone has figured that particular issue out yet?

[Zoan]

I try to connect but it's not up. Have you guys disabled it for now until the session begins?

[Jenred]

Doesnt work for me either

[Nyr]

You try to connect but it's not up?  Is connect grayed out?

[Jenred]

It connects to a room that only has a "Root" channel in it, then the remote host closes the connection after a little while, then it reconnects into the same situation,

You wouldn't need to update your monitor, but updating Realtek audio (sound drivers) is entirely reasonable. It's better to be up to date than not in the majority of cases too.

[Nyr]

If you have a firewall it could be screwing up things.

If you're typing the password @wesome$auce in as your username, well, that could keep you from connecting, too.

[Derain]

After you set the connection it will pop up asking for the password when it trys to connect.

[Jenred]

yeah, I think its a problem with my mumble, since I can't connect to any of my other channels, so disregard

Yeah it's requiring both. It won't go further without searching for drivers and updating. I'm not interested in updating my drivers. They do what I need them to do just fine, as is.

If you figure out what's wrong with it, let me know. I'm having the exact same problem you are.

[Jestor]

I had a similar problem.  It turned out I was launching the mumble 1.1 (backwards compatibility mode).  When launching 1.2.3 it worked fine.  Good luck!

[morrigan]

I can only hear for a second or so then it cuts off.

Then I guess it won't run for you.

[boog]

Oh, poop. It just keeps trying to connect and says the remote host is closing the connection. Poop.

[Pale Horse]

Tried connecting.

Got one strange error after another.

Beat them down until I kept getting a generic "cannot connect" message over and over.

Gave up.

[Nyr]

Thanks everyone for making it to the event.  We had a fun time and it went pretty smoothly. 

And this is a small portion of what you guys missed if you weren't able to make it in:  a little screenshot of the work-in-progress website.



There are some folks working on a transcription of the chat and also (I assume?) the audio file itself.  We'll post more when that's available.

[BleakOne]

Holy awesomeness that looks neat.

[boog]

Beautiful!

[RogueGunslinger]

Thats like... A bazillion times better.

[Pale Horse]

So..pretty...

[Harmless]

I couldn't make it. What else was discussed besides the new website design? Looks awesome, btw.

Would some generous person like to fill me in a little?

[Evilone]

Wow I do love that screenshot.
