| − | '''[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.

| − | The Mumble client for PC has a function included called Overlay that can show connected and/or talking voice participants.

Their work is of great benefit to all students who pass through the University's halls. It will be awarded to managers who serve for an extended amount of time, usually around six months. Its inscription reads: Unitas per Servitiam - 'Unity Through Service'}} |

| − | The Overlay can give you feedback about who is connected or who is talking when the application would otherwise obscure this information, basically overlaying it over the top of your game client. Even if you have Mumble open on a second monitor, the overlay may be a useful addition as it can be positioned freely on the primary monitor. <ref>[https://www.mumble.info/documentation/user/in-game-overlay Mumble in-game Overlay Documentation] (pulled 2023-05-16)</ref>

| − | This is especially useful during fleet operations where you have not necessarily flown with the members previously so you may not recognize their voices yet. During high pressure PvP fights it happens often enough that someone calls out "Warp to me", so with the Overlay running you have a quick and easy way to see at a glance who that was.

| − | Currently (as of May 2023) the Overlay does not work with DirectX 12 so the first step is to deactivate that in your EVE game client: <ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/mumble/comments/vmtb8h/eve_online_updated_to_use_dx12_anyway_to_get/ Reddit Eve Online Updated to use DX12, Anyway to get Overlay Working?] (pulled 2023-05-16)</ref>

| − | #The first important step is to reduce the clutter on screen so you only see who is currently talking or was talking a short while ago:
| + | |- |
| − | ##Right-click one of the items on the layout screen (e.g. ''Whisper''), select <u>''Filter''</u> and select <u>''Talking and recently active''</u>
| + | | [[File:UNIGradMedal.PNG]] |
| − | ##<u>''Always show yourself''</u> can be helpful if you want to see if you have muted yourself in Mumble (though in the interest of less clutter this is highly optional)
| |
| − | ##You can also configure the time how long the recently active talkers will remain in the Overlay (appearing as greyed out names)
| |
| − | #Move the position of the Overlay by dragging the red dot around (for example to the top middle of the screen)
| |
| − | #Use your mousewheel to resize how large the names will appear
| |
| − | #<u>''Columns''</u> gives you the possibility to choose how many names will appear in one left to right row. Depending on where on your screen you have positioned the Overlay it can be useful to have them show in only one column from top to bottom or as far left to right as possible (i.e. 5)
| |
| − | #Play around with those settings to get the Overlay positioned and sized so you can at a glance get all the information you need without it obstructing crucial elements of the game itself
| |
| − | #Under <u>''Edit''</u> you have further options to manipulate the different states of how people show up in the Overlay. Make certain the ''Username'' checkbox is ticked and again in the name of reducing clutter that ''Avatar'' is unchecked
