Welcome to TypeFrag’s My Talk page on Telarapedia.com. Here we will provide information on the Ventrilo client software, the benefits using Ventrilo with MMORPGS and how TypeFrag’s increasing role in the world of online gaming:

What is Ventrilo?
Ventrilo is a voice over IP (VoIP) program designed with gamers in mind. The program allows users to talk to each other over the internet via servers hosted by individuals or companies. It was designed to have a minimum impact on the user’s CPU allowing it to run seamlessly alongside online games and other process-heavy computer operations. Additionally, its simplistic, user-friendly design makes it perfect for beginners and computer savvy individuals alike.

While Ventrilo has many uses it is most popular with online gamers. Its utilitarian design makes mastering the program a breeze, and its CPU-friendly build ensures that your gaming will not suffer.

Ventrilo and MMORPGS
Being complex, group-oriented games MMORPGS require a significant amount of communication, strategy and coordination. However, the way they are set up does not allow for all 3 to be achieved easily. If you are focused on the game you are unable to effectively communicate to others. And, if you are communicating then your concentration shifts away from the game. These lapses can often spell disaster at crucial moments of a raid or PvP instance negating hours of hard work. Nobody likes to lose, and it’s especially frustrating when that loss could have been prevented by proper communication. This is where Ventrilo comes in. By allowing you to talk to your guildies or clan members while keeping your focus on the game you can ensure that you’ll never wipe due to a breakdown in communication. No more getting killed while typing, no more rage quits, no more drama. Ventrilo is a simple program that will save you a world of aggravation, and keep you ahead of the game. There’s a reason why it’s used by most of the top gaming groups around the world: because it works!

You’ve likely already purchased a high-end gaming mouse with ridiculous DPI, a MMO-centric keyboard with keys already dedicated to your in-game binds, a noise-canceling headset/mic combo, and possess a graphics card that would make George Lucas cry, so why aren’t you still typing your messages? If you’re serious about gaming you owe it to yourself (and your guildies) to upgrade to a Ventrilo server.

Ventrilo Tutorials
Once you purchase a Ventrilo server, the first thing you will want to do it customize it to suit your needs. Maybe you would like to create separate channels to differentiate between the games your users will be playing. Or, maybe you have a large guild, and need to create admins to assist in moderating the server. Ventrilo has you covered on both fronts, and to help you get your server up and running here are some helpful tutorials to make using Ventrilo that much easier:

Creating an Open Channel:
An open channel is a channel that anyone is able to join
 * 1) First, ensure that you are logged in as an administrator
 * 2) Right-click the server’s name* (this is the text in bold print at the very top of the server), go to Channel Admin, and click Create – This will open the Setup Channel – Create menu.
 * If you right-click anywhere but the server name, then the Channel Admin options will be grayed out.


 * 1) Type in the channel’s name* in the Display name box, and click OK.
 * This is how the channel’s name will appear on your server.
 * Leave all other options as they are.


 * 1) You will now see the channel appear on your server with a blue marker next to it – Blue markers indicate open channels.

Creating Sub-channels:
A sub-channel is a channel inside of a channel. For example: You can have a main channel called “Raids” and then have 4 sub-channels “Groups 1-4.”  You can also have sub-channels of sub-channels, and so on.
 * 1) Right-click the channel you want to make a sub-channel for, go to Channel Admin, and click Create – This will open the Setup Channel – Create menu.
 * 2) Type in the channel’s name* in the Display name box, and click OK.

Setting Up Administrative User Profiles:

 * 1) Right-click anywhere in the white space inside the Ventrilo Client, go to Server Admin, and click User Editor – This will bring up the User Editor menu.
 * The User Editor allows server administrators to create/edit/delete user profiles. The Admin can also assign permissions to specific users on a user-by-user basis.


 * 1) Click the New button at the bottom of the User Editor – This ensures that you are working from a blank slate.
 * 2) Enter the person’s username* in the Login name box.
 * You must type their name exactly as it appears when they connect to the server (including numbers, spacing, and punctuation).


 * 1) In the Password box you will need to assign the profile a unique password*.
 * This will be the password that that user will use to connect to the server from now on. Their user profile password will be used in place of the Global Password, if one exists.


 * 1) Open the Profiles drop-down menu at the very top of the User Editor, select Generic Admin, and click Load.
 * Profiles allow you to auto-fill standard permissions without having to enter each one manually which saves a considerable amount of time.


 * 1) Go to the Admin Tab:
 * Make sure that the “Server Admin” box is checked. This is option must always be checked if the user is receiving admin privileges.  If it is unchecked they will be unable to utilize any admin ability.


 * 1) Once “Server Admin” has been checked you can pick and choose from the remaining admin abilities (or select them all).
 * 2) Once you are satisfied with the setup of the profile, click the Add button at the bottom of the User Editor – You should now see that username appear in the Current Users list on the left side of the User Editor
