New Community Teamspeak 3 server

[Mellock]

Dearest gamers,

A new teamspeak 3 server is up for the community to use.
It has 50 slots.
Easy to remember address: teamspeak.fg-con.com
Password: Dungeoneers

This is New York based.

There is also a backup (London based) - but please try to use the one above as a primary:
Easy to remember address: voice.fg-con.com
Password: Dungeoneers

Dakadin was kind enough to put in the time to set it up just like the previous server, and will be an admin with Trenloe and Damned, and I'll pop in as often as I can spare these ears.

I hope many of you excellent gamers find your way there, and let us know if anything goes awry.

In case you need the direct address to the teamspeak server, it's eurots5.gameservers.com:9280

Edit:
Some people didn't have a very satisfactory experience with the London server, so you now have a NY one as a backup as well. I hope this one doesn't hate Canadians, but in case it misbehaves, keep Nickademus' very well functioning server details handy.

NY Server:
Direct address: ts53.gameservers.com:9152
Easy to remember address: fgts.servegame.com:9152
Password: Dungeoneers

[Dakadin]

Mellock was kind enough to rent a server for the community. :D

The password was added because their wasn't a way to make the server private like the old one and we wanted to cut down on the unwanted visitors.

Damned setup a few other addresses you can use that might be a bit easier to remember:
voice.fg-con.com
teamspeak.fg-con.com
fgts.fg-con.com:9280
ts.fg-con.com:9280

Please let us know if you have any issues with it.

Thanks,
Dakadin

Might be me, if so let me know....

I can get on using eurots5.gameservers.com:9280

but none of the below are working(for me)
voice.fg-con.com:9280
teamspeak.fg-con.com:9280
fgts.fg-con.com:9280
ts.fg-con.com:9280

[Mellock]

Those DNS pointers may take up to 48 hours to propagate (start working for everyone). I'll see if after that time it still doesn't work.

Happy gaming :)

That's strange. I tested each one before posting it and I just tested them again and I would connect without issue. Is it giving you an error message?

It sounds like a DNS propagation issue, as Mellock pointed out. Out of curiosity, did you make the DNS entry changes? The serial is 2013031302 - looks like the serial wasn't updated. The old addresses could remain in other DNS server caches, by the off chance it had it.

[Dakadin]

Yes, it is possible that it still needs to propagate. Damned actually made the changes. He is in Australia so I figured if I was able to access them from the US then it was likely that the changes were propagated.

[damned]

I can use them all using my local DNS and using Google DNS...
Will have taken less than 4hours to propagate....

[Macgreine]

Woo Hoo!!!! Thank you Mellock.

[damned]

Mellock - please test connecting to: voice.fg-con.com or teamspeak.fg-con.com without port number. This should now work without port numbers on client versions 3.0.8 or higher.

[Dakadin]

Good job Damned. How did you go about getting it to redirect to the appropriate port?

Avro5731, if you ping those DNS names what IP address do you get back from them?

[damned]

the newer clients will look up a SRV record which can be used to provide port numbers...
older clients than 3.0.8 wont pick up the port number.

> _ts3._udp.voice.fg-con.com
Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address: 8.8.8.8

Non-authoritative answer:
_ts3._udp.voice.fg-con.com SRV service location:
priority = 1
weight = 1
port = 9280
svr hostname = eurots5.gameservers.com

[Mellock]

That's pretty neat. It works fine for me here! :)

[damned]

update your first post if you like and add "voice.fg-con.com" as an option.

[Mellock]

Done!

[avro5731]

They all work now --- thanks

[JohnD]

So, just to clarify, the original server is no longer available?

[damned]

gooooorne....
But really - all that has changed is you now need a password - and Mellock has been kind enough to foot the bill for the new one.

[Dakadin]

The original server is gone. It was running at my old work but they finally shut it down.

The new server has a password because we can't make it private. It is just a way to make sure that the FG community is bothered while using the server.

[Skellan]

Thanks for this :)

[JohnD]

Ah OK... will communicate the change to my players. Thanks Dakadin for making it available while it was!

[damned]

We have a new FG Con TeamSpeak server with 400+ slots available.
This will be phased in over the next couple of weeks and will replace the current teamspeak.fg-con.com server.
The current server(s) have been provided for the communities use by member Mellock - many thanks to you good sir!

Hey KevenSimmons - I *think* we have the settings right now!
Thanks Sunspoticus and Trenloe for your help.

[damned]

Trenloe and I have just finished deploying a new community Teamspeak server. All the old connection details remain valid however there are likely to be a few differences in permissions. See how you go. Holler if you have any major issues.

[Girwan]

May I ask for permission to open new channel?

[Trenloe]

May I ask for permission to open new channel?
You can create a sub-channel yourself, under any of the game headings.

[Girwan]

I tried in Other Game Channels

[damned]

I tried in Other Game Channels

It should work for you.

[Girwan]

It's working :)
