The Bell Tree's Mumble is now live! For any new users to Mumble, this guide will help you through discovered what Mumble is, how to use it and how to join The Bell Tree's server. If you have any questions that this guide doesn't cover please feel free to either PM me or simply make a post in this thread!
What is Mumble? How do I download it?
Mumble is a VoIP service. Put simply, this means that you can join The Bell Tree's Mumble server and you're able to voice chat to anybody else who's also in the server. It's almost like a combination of Skype and the forum's pre-existing IRC Chatroom.
To download Mumble, visit http://mumble.sourceforge.net/ and half way down the page under "Get Mumble" download the latest Stable release for your operating system (As of posting this thread, Version 1.2.4 for Mac & PC).
Once downloaded, launch it and follow the simple setup wizard. It will guide you through configuring your microphone so that it's as clear as possible. Please make sure to read everything and set it up correctly. I strongly recommend that you set your microphone to the "Push-To-Talk" setting. This means that you will need to press a button on your keyboard or mouse and hold it while you are talking. Doing this means that we won't hear any unnecessary background noise coming from your house or when you are typing on your keyboard.
How do I join The Bell Tree's server?
On the server connection list, which should pop up when you launch Mumble, you can click "Add New" and fill out these details.
Label: The Bell Tree
Address: 108.61.25.67
Port: 4562
Username: Your Username
Or, you can simply click this banner and it'll connect you to the server automatically:
How do I register my nickname?
Registering your nickname in Mumble simply makes it so nobody else can use your nickname on our server. It also allows you to become an administrator on the server.
To start, you'll want to make sure you're using the nickname that you want to register with and join The Bell Tree's server. Go to "Configure" menu and select "Certificate Wizard". Follow the instructions, similarly to how you set up your microphone in the audio wizard.
Once that is complete, right click on your own username in the user lists within the channel and select the "Register" option. If everything worked properly, you should now be registered.
How do I disable Text-to-Speech?
The Text-to-Speech option in Mumble makes it so all messages written in the Mumble text chat are read aloud for you to hear. This can be useful if you're playing a video game or something, but in general it can be quite annoying.
You can disable this option in the Mumble configuration. Simply go to "Configure Mumble -> Messages" and un-tick the "text-to-speech" option for the corresponding notifications. Some versions of Mumble can just un-tick "text-to-speech" directly from the "Configure" menu.
Have any more questions?
Feel free to post below with any questions as well as with any other information you'd like to see added to this guide. I look forward to seeing all of you in the Mumble server!
