Mumble: Difference between revisions

Line 57:

- talk to all the other commanders but not normal fleetmembers when you are in a command position. This is because all the command subchannels are linked just like the General Chat and PvP waiting room are linked. In this sense, Mumble is set up backwards from Teamspeak as you now need a separate key to talk to the fleet instead of to command.

Now, on to set some hotkeys! To start, you go to Configure -> Settings -> Shortcuts.

There you will see this screen (sans the whisper keys, because we are going to set them up for you now!). Press the Add button in the bottom of the screen.

===Talk to your SC===

After you’ve clicked Add, a new empty key setup appears. For Function, choose Whisper. After you chose Whisper, click on the empty field under Data and click the (…) button. We’ll first set up the key that enables squad members to talk to their squad commander.

Line 70:

Line 72:

Click OK and set a key binding by clicking the empty field under Shortcut. Next, add a another key. This key will be for commanders to talk to their subordinates. This enables bait squad SC’s to coordinate with their squad without confusing the rest of the fleet and it lets WC’s talk to just their wing members.

===Talk to your subordinates===

Again, set the Function field to Whisper and click the (…) key. Click Whisper to Channel, select Current and check Whisper to subchannels. Be aware that giving orders by using this key does not transmit your message to other commanders in the same or higher level. So when an SC talks using this key, he needs to communicate his actions separately with the rest of the commanders. But, being the good SC he is, he should have been doing that from the start anyway. There is one big note that should be made when using this setup, however. Setting up your keys like this makes sure information is only streamed to those that need to know. On the other hand, SC’s are required to be a lot more active in relaying information to the rest of command. This information then needs to be relayed by the FC to the rest of the fleet, if he deems it important for the rest of the fleet to know it also.

Again, set the Function field to Whisper and click the (…) key. Click Whisper to Channel, select Current and check Whisper to subchannels.

===Final notes===

In short, the structured fleet channels enable great streamlining and filtering of information. This way, fleet commanders can focus on leading the fleet rather than having to process endless streams of information and squad members and their commanders can coordinate more efficiently amongst themselves. On the other hand, all this requires a great deal more communication and discretion in doing so from SC’s to the rest of command.
