<h4>How to use Mumble</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Mumble is free and open source software that can be download from
|
|
<a href="https://www.mumble.info/downloads/">Mumble.info</a>. It is
|
|
a low-latency voice client that lets you talk to your fellow
|
|
players using your microphone.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
After installation, you will need to configure your audio first. The
|
|
helpful audio wizard will guide your through the settings.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Once that is all set up, you can connect to the Mumble server by
|
|
using the mumble link from the <a href="index.html">Home</a> page.
|
|
You should be able to connect and see something like this:

|
|
<p>
|
|
By default, you will be place in the Root, but you can double-click
|
|
on any channel to join. You will most likely want to go to the Lobby,
|
|
however, you can see which channels the other people hang out in. Note
|
|
that there will likely only be people here during the actual event.

<h4>How to use Matrix/Element</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For text-based chatting, there is the Matrix channel. Matrix is a chat
|
|
protocol (amongst other things). To use the Matrix protocol, you will
|
|
need a client to connect to it. One of the most popular ones is called
|
|
Element which you can either download from
|
|
<a href="https://element.io/get-started">element.io</a> or just run in
|
|
your browser. If you don't have an account yet, you will be able to
|
|
create one.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Once you are logged in, you can follow the Matrix link on the
|
|
<a href="index.html">Home</a> page. It will take you to a page
|
|
asking about the application you want to use. If you downloaded
|
|
Element before, click on the Continue button for that. You should
|
|
be able to connect and see something like this:
|
|

|
|
<p>There are usually people here, even outside of the event.</p>
|
|
<h4>How to use XMPP/Movim</h4>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Another option for text-based chatting is XMPP. It's another protocol,
|
|
like Matrix but you can use it to join the same chat channel as above.
|
|
The two protocols are "bridged" which means that users can simply
|
|
talk to eachother despite using different protocols.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Like the Matrix protocol, there are also many XMPP chat clients
|
|
available. One of the easier ones it <a href="https://movim.eu/">Movim.eu</a>.
|
|
It allows you to easily create and account if you don't already have
|
|
an XMPP account.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
From there, you can start the web-based client at <a href="https://mov.im">mov.im</a>.
|
|
After logging in, choose "chats" and then click on the big plus symbol.
|
|
</p>

|

|
|
</figure>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In the new screen that pops up, you will find "Join a chatroom"
|
|
and then "Join a custom chatroom". Paste the room name from
|
|
the link on the <a href="index.html">Home</a> page. You can type anything
|
|
you want in the Name field. That's only visible for you as the name
|
|
of this room.

<h3>Games</h3>
|
|
<p>Each game has their own separate help page</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
{% assign sorted_games = site.data.games | sort: "title" %}
|
|
{% for game in sorted_games %}
|
|
<li><a href="help_{{ game.name }}.html">{{ game.title }}</a></li>
|
|
{% endfor %}
|
|
</ul>
