PUG's

PUG's

Hey guys I know there have been some posts on how to properly set up PUG's but I don't exactly know in which topic... And since everyone has to have at least 2 demos in PUG's to apply to [GM] I thought it might be handy to have the explanation here.
(so I can also start doing PUG's )

So can anyone explain PUG here or paste a link to a good explanation?

P.S. I don't have a mic but is that a problem when I apply to become a full [GM] member?

Re: PUG's

Mic isn't mandatory for PUG's but Ventrilo is (latest version).

The one thing is try to avoid typing because theres not many situations where you can, just do as they say (most people on PUGs are around div 4 - 5 so you should get a good team.

PS if you get steamrolled dont blame yourself

blame your medic

 

Re: PUG's

And what might Ventrilo be Eon?

 

Re: PUG's

just use dat google? http://www.ventrilo.com/

 

Re: PUG's

Hey Garion thnx for helping me (and Eon of course ) but is that Ventrilo absolutely necessary? cuz I dowloaded it but than I can't install it b/c my processor doesn't support it...

 

Re: PUG's

it sure is... which processor do you use? :O

 

Re: PUG's

How not :S

And for pickups its manditory.

 

Re: PUG's

you sure? try to download it once more and check if the size of the file in bytes is same

if not, try the new one, if yes, take a screenshot of error you are getting while trying to install it and post it here

 

Re: PUG's

I have to get the latest version right? well that's 3.0 mb and I'm currently downloading that

 

Re: PUG's

The version before the latest does work so can I use that one or not?

 

Re: PUG's

latest version - Windows i386 - 32bit (Version 3.0.1)

 

Re: PUG's

dunno only way to find out is to try

Hostname / IP: 85.236.100.69
Port number: 28960
Password: tf2pickupVent

For pickup vent.

 

Re: PUG's

lol I have those and that's working (I thought the version 3.0.1.8alpha was the newest )

 

Re: PUG's

THNX FOR THE HELP EVERYONE

 

Re: PUG's

Ok thnx for all your support guys Garion is helping me through Steam chat right now I'll post the conversation here later (to make everything absolutely clear )

[GM'E] Garion: so what do you wanna know?
|GM| ®ØBB13BØB: from booting up X-chat to the actual PUG playing plz
[GM'E] Garion: ok, dont have xchat, but it should be similar
[GM'E] Garion: first you need to connect to the server called Quakenet
[GM'E] Garion: address should be irc.quakenet.org
[GM'E] Garion: try to find it in xchat
[GM'E] Garion: yeah, first setup your nick name, should be pretty much the same you will use in game
|GM| ®ØBB13BØB: x-chat is so complicated man...
[GM'E] Garion: then click on the quakenet and press connect
|GM| ®ØBB13BØB: yes I've logged in but than it's hard...
[GM'E] Garion: (ive just installed it)

[GM'E] Garion: just a coincidence
[GM'E] Garion: and click ok
|GM| ®ØBB13BØB: ok I'm in I think

[GM'E] Garion: yeah, its odd, it tells me too but i can change it in the other client with no problem, gonna take another look, mmt
[GM'E] Garion: ok, you need to quit the channel, RMB to #mpuk... on the left and choose close
