It has been almost 5 years since GFE Clan started using the Teamspeak VOIP software for clan communication. It has brought our clan a quality like no other with logs stacking over 1 million lines of data.
TeamSpeak 3 (TS3) has been released. It's just a beta, but considering how long we've had to live with TS2, a beta is still big news! There's so much traffic to their site right now that they've simply got a temporary holding page up.
TeamSpeak is a 'voice communication' program (or 'voice comms') most often used for online games. It's like a bunch of chat rooms, all connected together, but the primary form of communication is voice. At its most basic, it's like a conference call, but with lots of fun things you can do -- like making private channels, or muting specific people.
TS3 New Features:
• Voice Quality and Latency with more codecs; now support the latest Speex and CELT codecs and provides automatic microphone adjustment, advanced noise reduction, and echo cancelation.
• Fully integrated 3D sound support, this creates the illusion of a sound source being placed anywhere in three dimensional space
• Permission System that allowing the client to create custom user groups.
• Talk Power we can now configure a Minimum Talk Power variable for each channel.
• Sub-Channels with them own passwords.
• Tabbed Voice-Comming allow you to connect to multiple TS3 servers at once.
• Bookmarks that allowed the users store his preferred servers as bookmarks on IE & etc...
• Avatars now we can configure an avatar which will be displayed when people click on your name.
• Key Bindings the client will allow the user to set his own key bindings such as: push-to-mute/talk etc...).
• Text Messaging with BB code tags to emphasize certain words or phrases by making them e.g. bold or italic.
• URL Catcher which is used to store URLs mentioned during a chat. like on mIRC.
• Per Server Capture and Playback Devices This new feature allows you to do some really cool things like hook up two USB headsets to your computer etc...
• Sound Packs its means that anyone will be able to create his own soundpack and share it with other users easily.
• Translations Both server and client will be UTF-8 native so all languages can be supported.
• The Server Query interface can be switched into an interactive mode which gives you the ability to use the up/down cursor keys for cycling between the last given commands.
• Web Administration Interface will not be part of the server. Instead it will consist of a PHP-based web application, which can handle multiple virtual servers and server instances at once.
• Database Plugin System Developers can now write their own plugin for a completely proprietary database if they so desire.
