There have just been a few of these ETF2L radio shoutcasts, but they’re getting quite popular. Now we thought it would be nice if you could talk about the match with your clanmates while watching the STV and listening to the shoutcast.

So we’ve changed the permissions on the shoutcast Mumble a bit. You can now create your own temporary channel where you can talk privately with your friends. When you link the temporary channel to the shoutcast, you will be able to hear Byte rambling on about ‘lack of experience’, but Byte won’t be able to hear you laugh about it with your clanmates.

Here are some screenshots that show you how to do this:

Surprisingly, Dignitas won the Assembly Winter LAN. Who would have guessed?

For some reason Exfane joined a shoutcast hosted on our Mumble to provide his *cough* EXPERT *cough* commentary, helped by his superiour gamesense.

Being a masochist, I decided to record the shoutcast so you can get the full enjoyment of watching two great matches (semi-final and final), while simultaneously listening to Mr. Rage interrupting the excellent Arx.

Mumble 1.2 was released today, so we’ve updated our beta server to the stable release.

I’ve also reset the 1.2 database for a clean start. From now on we’ll be hosting both Mumble 1.1.x, for anyone wishing to stay on the old stuff, and the new Mumble 1.2 for the latest and greatest.

Mumble 1.2 server details:
IP/host: fakkelbrigade.eu
port: 64738
pass: same as the old mumble

For now, everyone is able to create temporary channels (which disappear after the last player leaves the channel). If you want a permanent channel on our 1.2 server, contact us in #fakkelbrigade on Quakenet or place a comment on this newspost. Please make sure you’ve registered yourself on our Mumble and provide us with your username (so we can make you owner of the channel).

As you may have noticed, the 1.1x branch of Mumble hasn’t been updated in a while. This is because the Mumble team has been working on Mumble 1.2

This new version is a pretty drastic overhaul of Mumble and introduces some nice new features, for example:

• Easier user access management.
• Lower latency / higher quality thanks to a new/better voice codec
• Whisper function
• Channels with passwords
• Temporary channels
• Easy upload of custom user pictures for on the overlay
• Friends list

We like these new features and encourage you to experiment with them on the FB beta Mumble.

host: fakkelbrigade.eu

port: 64738

password: mumble12

Feel free to join this Mumble and test it out. If you’re already a user on the ‘normal’ FB Mumble, you can simply login using your account and join your channel.

They interviewed Exfane.

In the interview an intoxicated Exfane spoils some FB state secrets, for which he will be executed.

As you may have noticed, we switched servers this week. We’re now on a shiny new quad-core machine. This means we can run more servers, STV relays and (private) Mumble servers.

The ‘old’ server is with us till the end of the year, so we have an even bigger shitload of bandwidth and server capacity than usual. If you’re in need for a server, ask around in #fakkelbrigade on Quakenet or contact us on Steam.
