Mumble

Why is it useful?

Mumble is mostly used in two situations: PvP and Classes. In PvP it is very useful because it is faster to call out a primary target than to type it, especially with PvP related lag. In classes it is great as well because we do not want our poor instructors getting carpal tunnel syndrome from typing everything In effect, it is just a lot easier and faster than typing.

How to set it up?

After installing when you run mumble the first time an audio settings wizard is presented to you. It is recommended you go through it carefully, but there are few things I would like to highlight.

When you reach a screen that looks like the one above select the top radio button, click on the box on the same line and press the key you you want to use as the Push-to-talk key.

When you reach a screen that looks like the one above I recommend you disable the text to speech notifications.

Key Bindings for Fleetchannels

For fleet usage, you require 2 extra key bindings:

1. Normal PTT, for speaking to other squad members or command if you are in a command channel. This is the key you set during the audio wizard at install.
2. "Report" PTT, for speaking to the SC in the case of squad members. To set up add a new keybinding and set function to "Whisper". Click on the data field, then click on the button that pops up. Use the following settings:

1. "Order" PTT, which allows the SC to speak to the Members, as well as the WC and FC to give direct orders if needed. Follow the above steps, using the following settings:
