bvlaar Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Hey everyone. I was just wondering if anyone here know a way to use the free ventrilo server tool and make it able to have unlimited slots? I use the older version so my server can have more than 8 slots, but I have started useing 2.3.0 and I want the server im running in my house to be able to host all of my members with the new vent. Any help would be awesome Bvlaar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvlaar Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 Your rite I "should" buy it. But I want to host my own ventrilo and to host a large slot you have to buy a Pro license which cost lots of money and the minimum slots to buy are 1000. Its just alot of money Bvlaar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont you think they should get payed for something they created? Hey i want a nice car so i can drive my friends around do i have the right to walk in and take one? What if the car isnt locked and has the keys in it do i still have the right to do it? After all i want to drive my friends around and a car cost alot of money so i should be able to.

blizz Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I would not pay for it. I also don't use ventrilo because of the limitation. Sure it took the developers weeks to develop Ventrilo, but compared to TeamSpeak its interface is barely usable, like a dungeon of buttons... They also use the Speex or the GSM codec I think, which is not their work. All they created was a way to fill tubes with speex encoded voice. TeamSpeak did the same, it's still free. I once thought I should give ventrilo a try because TS pissed me off for some reason (memory usage I think) so I downloaded vent but I was shocked that the free version is limited to 8 slots. Ventrilo has still no linux version I think. And don't tell me there are no linux gamers, I don't care if there is a right to exist for it :-) Nope, I won't ever use ventrilo for any voice over ip communication.

cooper Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Look, you're being a cheapskate over pocket change. You want to run more slots than the free version allows, but you can't pay for the 1000 minimum slot license or even start up a business to qualify for it. This situation is cleanly handled by Ventrillo when they say you can simply rent slots on the dedicated Ventrillo servers that companies who can pay for the 1000-slot license. I went and checked the countries that have a Ventrillo licensee that will accept you renting slots from them and at least the one company I checked in The Netherlands has some pretty modest fees. We're talking under 7 euros a month (3 month minimum) for 12 slots. So basically, if you can stand drinking about 2-3 beers less per month, you can afford to get this. So don't be a goof. Just rent some slots from one of those companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents hate useing there credit card over the internet. I just thought hosting my own would be the best way around that but there are to little slots.

moonlit Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 The simple answer if you can't pay for a service or application is you can't have it. If a service requires payment and you don't have the money to give to use it or you're unable to get payment to the providers then find a free alternative, make your own or give up.

cooper Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Or do what I do: Find a friend/someone else with a credit card that you give money to, and he pays for the service using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deXter Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 There are so many alternatives: 1) Get version 2.1.0 and client 2.1.4; you can host around 200 clients 2) Use virtual machines to run multiple instances on one server. Setup a virtual "client" on the server to connect to each vent-server that syncs audio across all vent-servers using audio routing, furthermore, you can ask your clients to download an addon program that attaches to the vent client which relays non audio info thru a syncing server program for managing all the individual server programs. or 3) Download the crack (yes, there is one) or crack it yourself 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
