Author Topic: So you want voice chat eh? [Guide]  (Read 1633 times)

No one wants to host a Team speak or Ventrilo server all the time
and for some people Skype can really lag up a game

but here is the easiest (but apparently not the very obvious) solution

Download steam it's free (if you don't already have it) - http://www.steampowered.com/
Make an account
Start a party chat (start a chat with a Blockland friend and invite others)
Then in your server, set the welcome message to something like this
"Hello, we are currently in a steam party to use voice chat, please add (steam name here) and join!"

Now the reason I'm saying use steam, is because it's a bit easier to use for most newer users
not only that, but because it uses less processing power than Skype, and won't lag up your game (as much)
I hope this was helpful

Well this was only to those who were asking about the teamspeak and ventrillo servers

I once had an idea for a party to create a Skype account and have people get skype and join in on a call where I'd be playing music.


You and your steam propaganda...

I've seen someone do this once before

Steam chat requires a steam game to use.

Yea, but then you have your steam account filled with shmucks. Do not want.
