'''[https://www.mumble.info/ Mumble]''' is a third-party VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) application that allows people to communicate verbally both in- and out-of-game. While similar to other VoIP services such as Teamspeak or Discord, Mumble has a number of features that make it popular for EVE Online, notably the ability to nest channels, and to passively listen to one channel while actively engaged in another. | |||

== Installation == | |||
Download and install the appropriate version from [https://www.mumble.info/downloads/ the Mumble website]. | |||
=== Note for MacOS users === | |||
When updating or reinstalling Mumble on MacOS, it is necessary to go into System Preferences > Privacy & Security > Privacy | |||
For BOTH the "Accessibility" AND "Input Monitoring" lists: Remove Mumble from the list, then re-add Mumble to the list by clicking-and-dragging the NEW Mumble application from the "Applications" folder to the list. | |||
== | If installing Mumble for the first time ever (on a given Macintosh), then just add Mumble to these two lists. | ||
Forgetting to do this when installing, reinstalling, or updating Mumble will result in Mumble being unable to detect keyboard inputs for Push-To-Talk and Whisper/Shout features. | |||
==== Warning ==== | |||
Do <em>NOT</em> upgrade from mumble <=1.3.x to 1.5.x+<ref>https://www.mumble.info/downloads/</ref>. If you accidentally did upgrade, follow these steps to recover: | |||
# When referring to delete, that is dragging app, file or folder icon to trash can or using Command-Delete | |||
# Delete Mumble app by going to your Applications folder<ref>https://www.mumble.com/support/how-to-uninstall-mumble-mac.php</ref> | |||
# Reveal hidden directories by going to Finder, open up your Macintosh HD folder. Press Command+Shift+Dot | |||
# Delete mumble database directory: <code>$HOME/Library/Application Support/Mumble/</code><ref name="Mac location" /> | |||
# Delete mumble settings file: <code>$HOME/Library/Preferences/net.sourceforge.mumble.Mumble.plist</code><ref name="Mac location" /> | |||
# Remove permissions by going to System Preferences > Privacy & Security > Privacy. For BOTH the "Accessibility" AND "Input Monitoring" lists: Remove Mumble from the list using the minus button. | |||
# Install Mumble 1.5.x+ software | |||
# Add permissions for new Mumble by going to System Preferences > Privacy & Security > Privacy. For BOTH the "Accessibility" AND "Input Monitoring" lists: Add Mumble from the list using the plus button, and selecting Mumble from Applications. | |||
The Mumble download page warns that upgrading directly to 1.5.x+ will break Mumble on your macOS machine. | |||

There is nothing more annoying than hearing other people type or breathe into their microphone constantly. If you leave push-to-talk off during a fleet op then you are likely to have some very frustrated Corp mates. This is why push to talk is mandatory. To turn on push to talk for Mumble, follow these steps. | There is nothing more annoying than hearing other people type or breathe into their microphone constantly.

== | === Launch Mumble with EVE Online === | ||
To ensure you don't forget to launch Mumble, and to make sure the overlay loads properly (if you're using it), you may consider using a batch file to launch both EVE and Mumble with one click. | |||
{{hatnote|'''These instructions will reference the default installation directory. This should be replaced with your own where necessary.'''}} | |||
==== Copy the EVE Online shortcut ==== | |||
Create a separate copy of the original EVE shortcut. There are two reasons for this: | |||
#You are going to alter your shortcut. In the case where you do not want to launch Mumble as well, you will retain the original shortcut. | |||
#Easily copy the EVE icon for the new shortcut. | |||
==== Modify the copied shortcut ==== | |||
Right click on the shortcut and select properties, | |||
*In the Target: field replace everything with {{code|C:\Program Files\CCP\Start.bat}} | |||
*In the Start in: field replace everything with {{code|C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE}} | |||
(The start in line must be set to your EVE installation, this is because the launcher outputs a debug.log file. If you do not set this is will dump the log wherever your shortcut is.) | |||
The shortcut can also be renamed if desired. | |||
==== Create a batch file ==== | |||
The batch file can be placed anywhere, just remember to alter your "Target" field in the shortcut to match where you place it. | |||
You will need to go to the folder <code>C:\Program Files\CCP\</code>, create a new text document in the folder and rename it to '''Start.bat'''. | |||
Once done, right click the batch file and open it in a text editor such as Notepad. | |||
Add the following, altering the paths to where you have EVE and Mumble installed: | |||
<pre> | |||
@echo off | |||
start "" "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe" | |||
start "" "C:\Program Files\Mumble\mumble.exe" | |||
</pre> | |||
If you are using Windows 8 and your overlay does not work, you will need to add <code>nod3d9ex</code> to the end of the Mumble line like so: | |||
<pre> | |||
@echo off | |||
start "" "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe" | |||
start "" "C:\Program Files\Mumble\mumble.exe" -nod3d9ex | |||
</pre> | |||
Save and close the file to finish. You can now use this new shortcut to launch both your EVE Client and Mumble at once. | |||
