Vent is a VOIP program that is server based and client based. Servers can be hosted by companies for cheap [few cents per client slot] or hosted on any box, tbh. Client program is a small download that requires at least speakers or a headset to listen to other people, and a microphone to talk. Talking can be done either via a Push-To-Talk hotkey, or by microphone sensitivity threshold.

It's pretty much necessary in any online game where coordination is necessary. In fact it's pretty much the best telecommunications utility ever. If iPhone had a vent had like it does a Team Speak app, I'd probably never use my phone ever again for calls.

You should check it out some time, Es. Groups who use Vent will always win against non-VOIPed groups.

Also, to the main poster - Most of the guilds here could really use a Vent-spy widget on their main page. It's pretty simple, really. Just stick this code [modified for your Vent server IP/port and web address] somewhere in your site layout - <iframe src="http://vspy.guildlaunch.net/srv/minispy.php?Address=boron.typefrag.com&Port=40 43&J=on&Scroll=3&T=8&E=hide&Ma in=&Color=TTTTTT&S=&C=&U=&Name s=&Compact=" width="190" height="240" frameborder="0"></iframe>

It will end up looking like a smaller version of this - http://vspy.guildlaunch.net/srv/vspy....com&Port=4043

Vent allows you to chat on a computer with an Internet connection.

**Esus** · 05-26-2010, 03:19 PM

Uh...ok? Is it a free service or do you have to pay by the minute? If it's the latter, I won't even bother.

**Diz** · 05-26-2010, 03:23 PM

It is completely free, as long as you are just a client. People DO pay to host Ventrilo, though. Obviously not you, so of course it's free for you.

**ed anger** · 05-26-2010, 03:33 PM

mumble is similar, and free.

Oh ok...so is this an app for the iPhone or do I need to be sitting at my comp to use this? I only ask because I have next to zero ambition to sit at my computer to use this vent thing while playin the game.

Lol that's why I don't even bother using vent unless I had a lappy but I don't so oh well .

**Diz** · 05-26-2010, 05:11 PM

Yes, Esus; you would need to be sitting at your computer like a nerd with a headset on talking into a microphone while playing a role playing game on your cellular telephone.

**Esus** · 05-26-2010, 05:20 PM

Bummer...sounds like an awesome thingy majig, but I don't have a head set compatible with my laptop, nor am I really all that compelled to go out and buy one, so it looks like I'll be missin out on the voice chat with all ya cool ppl. Sorry I know you all wanna hear my sexy voice, but I doubt it will happen anytime soon.

**Reaper** · 05-26-2010, 05:21 PM

ROFL, although we do use this for casual chat.
Did you know that I use my Guitar Hero mic to talk through vent? XD

**Esus** · 05-26-2010, 05:26 PM

I would use my Xbox live mic...if my dogs hadn't mistaken it for a chew toy.

**ed anger** · 05-26-2010, 05:28 PM

get a wireless headset, then you dont have to sit at the computer.

**Reaper** · 05-26-2010, 05:31 PM

Mr ed anger, makes a good point. Yet, what if a meteor came down from the sky, bounced of a cow, catapulted of an electric fence and roundhouse kicked by Chuck Norris, right in your face. That would not have happened if you were sat down on your comp ;/

**Esus** · 05-26-2010, 05:35 PM

Well of course I could use my Bluetooth head set...if my comp was compatible with it, which at this current time and date it's not. Great suggestion tho.

**Diz** · 05-26-2010, 05:40 PM

Yeah I used a bluetooth piece one time for vent as a backup when my real headset died.

It was nice to talk smack to idiots while going to the bathroom at the same time.

I bet you could update your bluetooth or driver or something and get it compatible. Or you could get a bluetooth adapter - they cost about five dollars.
